Hands down the best meal we had in Italy. Well worth making the trek to Saturnia in order to have a meal here. Everything was elevated, the glassware stunning, the presentation of each dish well composed, the small bites before and after the meal were seamlessly weaves into the flow of the meal.
The service here helped make the evening. Between having great English speakers, and being extremely friendly, we ended up planning half of our next day's trip based on their suggestions. The good company was coupled with a post meal apéritif as we ended up being one of the last tables at the restaurant.
All of this is before even touching on the food and wine. The preparation of everything here was stunning both on the eyes and the pallet. Getting a steak is a must, but the pasta, and starters are not to be passed on. While maintaining the fine dining environment, nothing at Il Chippi felt pretentious or fussy. Simply well executed and homey.
This place is on the Michelin guide, but in my opinion deserves several stars, which it has not yet been granted. read more
