This restaurant is located across from and works directly with Le Volte Enoteca Prodotti Divini (wine store). The ambience and neighborhood view is so charming and welcoming. The food we ordered was absolutely fantastic! I started out with the Bruschetta Al Pomodoro Fresco e Basílico ( Datterini tomatoes, basil, olive oil bruschetta). If I could ship these tomatoes to the US everyday I would be the happiest person in the world. We came back later and also tried the Crostone del Cantuccio ( Truffle sauce, Tuscan sausage, pecorino cheese) which was delightful and I highly recommend it as well. For our mains I had the Pappardelle Fresche Al Ragù Toscano which I have to say- is the best pasta dish I've had this whole week in Italy. NO Italian restaurant serving ragù/pappardelle in the US even comes close to the texture, flavor, and quality of this plate. I also had some of the Ossobuco Alla Chiantigiana (Chianti style braised veal) and you could feel and taste every precious hour it took to make it, and the sauce, in every bite. For dessert I tried the pannacotta which was delicious! I also tried the cheesecake which if you're coming from the US it is a VERY different texture, much more creamy, and delicious as well! If you are in the area they are open everyday all day except Wednesday! We are most likely coming back one more time this week the staff, aesthetic, and especially the food makes the restaurant a MUST DO!

The grilled beef was also a bit overcooked and the berry tart was a bit too hard to even cut it. However, the daily special was pretty tasty and the beef was very tender. Service: The staff was amazing! Everyone was so nice and attentive. It showed that they really care for their customers and are very accommodating. Ambiance: Breathtaking view! Probably one of the most beautiful places to have a meal in. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Great for big parties and even a special night.

We ate here two nights out of the three we stayed in Castellina and loved both meals. The first night we got their fall seasonal special of tortelloni with truffles. The tortelloni are large and have ricotta spinach filling in a delicious cream truffle sauce. We also got the boar ragu papardelle which was rich and very tasty. For secondis we got the traditional tuscan stews: one of beef and one of boar. The meat was incredibly tender and tasty, with a great piece of polenta to go alongside. We got the desert sampler, which was also great. Both nights the total for the meal was very reasonable--and the basic glass of chianti classico was delicious.
