Above par service in a quaint little trattoria in Tuscan wine country. It was described as "a…read morehome-cooked meal" and it definitely lived up to the description. Upon arrival a quirky and fun-loving waitress cleared a table and served us immediately. At 2100 hrs, the place was packed with three large parties of 10 or more with three additional small tables seated. We had water, pastas, bruschetta and tea. Everything was delicious! I recommend the "lard" bruschetta, which looked like sliced turkey meat on bread but delivered a very different flavor, one that tasted very good with tomatoes and salt. I also loved the 3-cream cheese pasta. All served promptly and the staff spoke great english. I highly recommend this off-the-beaten path Trattoria. Thank you Francesco!

First day me and my buddy Brian went for an afternoon snack of some of the best charcuterie I think I've ever had. They source/make most of their food, including the cheese and meats from their nearby estate. The chianti we had (sangiovese and cab blend) was local, and very good and only €20 for the bottle. The espresso after the meal was on point and they give you a magical basket of various breads, olive oil from their farm and honey they make as well to go with the charcuterie board. Second day I came with my wife and our friends Alex and pat and we did lunch right. About 2 hours of just stuffing our faces and drinking a bottle of sparkling pinot Nero that was exquisite. We ordered burgers two which, they're known because again, the cattle are just over the hill and these were so good. I wish I ordered medium rare but I wasn't thinking. Still you could tell these are grass fed cows, the veggies on it were so bomb, and the bun was light and airy. Perfecto! We also got these lightly fried vegetables, a cold pesto pasta and these fried dough balls that come with made that morning mozzarella and prosciutto. My god, please make sure you order that, I think it was called coccalini. Anyway, now let's talk about that view...it's a postcard of Tuscany type of view and soak it in. The staff here is lovely, friendly and speak English. There's lots of seating indoors and outside and there's free wifi to get your Insta on because you gotta share these views and meal with friends, even if it's just virtually.

We ordered the 2.6 lb dry aged Florentine steak and gnocchi. The Florentine steak is a must try steak here. It was very juicy, tender, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was nice and chewy. The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten. The cheesecake is very famous in this restaurant. We tried it and understand why. The cheesecake was super creamy and soft. I had a great time and experience here. Definitely will be back sometime soon hopefully. This is a place I highly recommend to everyone. Come and try it out for yourselves.

He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF. He had his own GF bread basket and was able to order almost anything on the menu. We ordered a nice bottle of Montepulciano red for the table that was $48. Others had the Hugo spritz. For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.

The menu is great, the service is great, the food is great, the ambience is great. The Back drop of the Castle oozing Renaissance history is beyond compare.

Perfection - We hosted our wedding welcome (rehearsal) dinner at Castello del Trebbio's restaurant…read moreSosta del Gusto. We worked with Alberto and Sabrina on this mission. Both of them were a pleasure to communicate with. Since Alberto couldn't be there the day of our event in July, we dealt mainly with Sabrina during planning. What a huge help she was - she responded to us quickly, answered all of our questions, allayed our concerns with everything, volunteered for small tasks, she was just an incredible person and so helpful, kind, and enthusiastic about everything, she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would work with her again in a second. We loved her! Together we planned a 4-course special menu for our welcome dinner - this was a collaborative effort, with Sabrina ultimately giving us the final say and offering much flexibility. I printed my own menus using an online vendor but the restaurant can also print the menus for you. Our guests still tell us how the food and wine were excellent, they were thrilled with the quality, taste and presentation of everything. Sabrina also helped us plan a champagne toast/reception after we started the evening with a castle and wine cellar tour. Everybody loved the our - Marta was an excellent tour guide, very engaging and personable, she had people laughing and learning, and we look back on these memories very fondly. The champagne toast was set up on the restaurant's brick patio, overlooking a valley and more mountains. It is stunningly gorgeous, I didn't want the event or the evening to end. We opted to eat dinner indoors only because our wedding dinner was going to be outside the next day. Sosta del Gusto is totally set up to have an outdoor dinner in the above described patio area. They do lots of weddings at their place and for good reason - it is a really really beautiful property. Even though we never got to meet Alberto he was helpful in initial planning and Sabrina was an amazing hostess - she really is a great person. No regrets at all with going to Sosta Del Gusto and Castello del Trebbio for our event, we would visit again no question. Highly recommend both the castle and this restaurant for any visit or event of any type. Very professional staff and beautiful presentation. Thanks again!!

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.
