Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"My favorite meal of our vacation happened here, at Leonardo's and his wife's restaurant. My only regret of our two weeks in Chianti is that we didn't make it in here for a second visit. P.S. Call ahead to reserve patio seating."
"I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough, being one of the best hidden gems in Tuscany. It's tucked away, but well worth the trip, and since the first time I visited I couldn't wait to be back. You can tell when you're there that everybody loves the place and are surrounded by locals and regulars. You don't see a menu and don't want to, preferring to be swept away by the generosity of Leonardo and his fantastic food and drink. Just how an Osteria should be – you couldn't have a more authentic and memorable experience. The Fiorentina steak (call to reserve in advance) was the best I've ever had. Thanks so much Leonardo and see you soon!"
"Wonderful restaurant, great food, great reception, amazing host. I love it when someone ‘just makes nice things’ and I don’t have to pick. From the wine to the food, to the coffee, visit when you’re in Chianti!"
"Incredible restaurant, more of an experience, amazing host who knows how to make an experience for its visitors. Leonardo was amazing, he runs a fantastic restaurant, made us feel at home at once, we were blessed by some native Italians in the restaurant having a joyful time. The food was fantastic, we didn't choose, Leonardo asked what we liked and brought us a selection of incredible food. Belissima Salute!"
"Absolutely spectacular! We showed up after lunch ended but Leonardo was so kind and took such great care of us! One of the most delicious meals we’ve had in Tuscany and in such a charming location! Highly, highly recommend!"
"Absolutely fantastic!!! Can't thank Leonardo enough for this beautiful welcome and great service. My friend had the most special birthday at your restaurant, I will be sure visiting more and I already had some of my guests tell me how much they love it! Great food, great service, beautiful place"
"The place was amazing and the service also. We went without reservation, but they served us with wine and appetizers until they prepared a table for us. The food was delicious, and they listened to our needs and customized the dish how we wanted. We would go there any time."
"Very friendly staff, great food, nice atmosphere and fair prices. We went for lunch to this small and beautiful Osteria. Very calm and relaxed over our lunch. The owner explained all dishes and we made tasty choices. The place is rather small so maybe check for reservation. We'll be back if we visit the region again :-) Our dishes were Gnochi pulpo (13€) and a regional style Gulash (17€)."
