“ Great place! Lovely service and delicious food and wine! ”
“ We ate there two times in one day in San Gimignano! Located in a picturesque yet a bit calm street, wonderful paninis, as well as coffee and Aperol. Great spot for people watching ”
“ A humble story which begun with a couple looking for a washroom Saying we would excuse it for an apperitivo, we've stumbled across this small business. Ordered a charcuterie plate which had the best blue cheese & prosciutto I've ever had, accompanied with a hot panini with guanchiale, roasted dry tomatoes & local pecorino - absolutely brilliant. Spritz and white wine accordingly. Finished with negroni & dessert wine, and cantuccini to dip in the wine. Service was extraordinaire, prices were fair. A must have place for a romantic apperitivo or light dinner. 5/5, would definitely come back and recommend. Thank you guys. ”
“ We were strolling around this lovely old town feeling a bit hungry. Options in this town are plenty, but we've spotted this place before when we walked by and it looked good. We waited a few minutes for a table outside. We had our dog with and she was welcome outside and in! We ordered two glasses of white wine and a salumi / cheese platter and a veggie antipasti plate. You can choose the meat cuts and cheese cuts of your liking inside at the counter or just let the waiter surprise yourself. There's also porchetta (italian pig roast), but usually only available for sandwiches. But we asked and cut a piece of it as well. The meat was of very good quality and so was the cheese. The veggies were nicely roasted and covered with good olive oil. We've spent five weeks in Italy last summer and had lots of good meat and cheese. And compared this place holds up very well. Nice staff, good food, great location (watch the world go by). And came together to just around 20 Euros. Would definitely come back. ”
“ This place is way overrated, but the quality of the wine was quite OK. The Klassic house one you can keep by yourself but the red wine was OK. Compared to other places here in Tuscany the products around here are much better than the prices offered here in the city center, but due to the fact that it is in a city center prices might be a little bit higher than in surrounding. ”
“ Great little wine bar with superb cheese plate option - good to stop off before dinner - Chianti Classico Riserva was great and well priced at €9 ”
“ We stopped in here for a glass of wine on our way back to the hotel. It’s a cute place with nice cheese and charcuterie options. It was starting to get cold outside so we opted to sit in. There are a few small tables and it’s absolutely lovely. I love small family owned places and this one is right up there wit some of the best. ”
“ Lovely little restaurant in the heart of the town. We sat outside and enjoyed the views away from the markets and the Panini's were filling and very tasty, accompanied by a lovely red wine. Excellent service from the guy there too. Will definitely be back when we visit again. To the waiter who served us - great Pokémon collection! ”
