We started off with the deep fried sage/zucchini and the bell peppers with chick peas. Both were delicious and like nothing we'd ever eaten before. The sage was crispy and came with a bean dip similar to refried beans. The bell pepper and chickpea dish was flavorful and delicious. We then shared the risotto with pesto, the crab ravioli and their signature dish, tagliatelle with truffles and guanciale. All were delicious, especially the tagliatelle. Portions were adequate and filling. We ended the meal with the white cream and chocolate sauce and the salted caramel with chocolate. The white cream is like panna cotta without the gelatin. It was light and creamy. I suspect it had some marscapone. The salted caramel was like a rich chocolate cake and was served warm. What a lovely meal. Will definitely return if we are ever back in the area. Highly recommend.

We loved everything we ate - the truffle frittata, onion parmigiana were big favorites with everyone in our family. The mezzalune ravioli with pork, beef, and chicken was also terrific. High quality service and food preparation in a quaint and well run establishment. Highly enjoyable and recommended.

Down slippery steps in the rain, but worth the risk!…read more We did have reservations which meant we had deuce in the corner of the room where we could people watch. They started us off with a complimentary Prosecco and a little portion of bean soup. So welcoming! My partner ordered the Ravioli with fresh shaved truffles and I tried their potato gnocchi with fabulous cherry tomatoes. It may be my favorite meal in four weeks of traveling around Italy. Claudio, the chef came by and we talked about the restaurant business and he even recommended a Mexican restaurant in Palm Desert which we will try. Finished with a special concoction of cocoa powder milk and two other ingredients that made for a nice digestivo. You can sit outside if you prefer

We had borlotti beans with onions and olive oil as antipasto as well as baked smoked scamorza cheese with truffles. Very good. I had carbonara also with truffles and my sister had s truffle omelette. Thus place likes truffles and does them very well! There is an extensive Secondo menu which looked good but we didn't have room. We did manage the cheesecake dessert. I added for one dessert and 4 forks. Instead the waitress very nicely cut the cake into 4 servings. A better solution. Limoncello or Amare were offered gratis to finish the meal.

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.
