Welcome to "Il Colombaio" a small, hidden portion of paradise in Tuscany where you can still breathe the air of home, of good and true things, of deep attachment to the land and its values. Our intent is to make our guests feel good and to make us remembe

We found Il Colombaio on the internet when searching for restaurants that have a Michelin star. We drove almost one hour to have a romantic dinner there for our ten year anniversary. If you don't visit this restaurant while in Tuscany, you're missing the best service, meal and ambience you can get. Chef Maurizio Bardotti was creative and the food had great depth and layers of flavors. Andria, our waiter, was so attentive and made us feel at home. This was the best meal we had in Italy and we had many. No complaints other than that we would love to take Maurizio and Andria back to California with us. Ten stars!!!!!

Was in the area, and was looking for something to share with fellow "tourists" off the beaten track, and leaning towards the more pure local environment/ savors and tastes.. and thought I would give it a try! well... arrived and it was full.. so was ready for a sorry we are full, and bye bye. instead, was invited to wait 15 minutes, which I thought well why not....After 5 mins only, we were shown to a table, and menu was given... yes it is local as basic Italian is helpful, though not necessary.. it was busy but service was efficient, and timing between dishes, put perfect for a more relaxed lunch Italian style. Pasta dishes. well no comment, an array to pick all with definite local tastes, with a no frills portion, and could not "not" finish...., and the house red wine...(I recommend) help us along. we ordered steak grilled , and I had wild boar, and a mix grill plate, and had to try them all--- boar and steak excelled! greens and accompanying dishes (not order to many!!! as you have to leave some space for desert) Desert to finish off. overall I can say top marks, yes a no frill restaurant, filled with from what I could see locals, government officials, and truck drivers, and.-... yes us in minority "tourists".. a mix that could only determine a good result, well It was in fact more than good! and the price paid I would determine it as more that balanced for what we ate and its quality and service. So do try it! but it is not the Hilton!!! so don't come if you expect to be treated as a tourist, here you are just a customer, a valued customer at that! treated as a local! and pay like a local, what else could one want! I can do without the tourist shenanigans, this restaurant in on my return to list! Local ambiance, local food, but I give it a generous 5 star. I have great difficulty is seeing how one could not be more that happy here... we were and I will return!

The place in the small but amazing village off the beaten track. But it is well worth visiting. The food is so amazing and staff friendly and attentive. The ambience of the place is glorious.The place offers some very special meat dishes (secondi) with recipes dating to rennasaince.

This great cafe is located in a quaint little village in Casole di Elsa. The pasta dishes were so good and fresh that we had lunch there twice during the week we spent in Tuscany. I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese and my husband had the ravioli. The food was delicious and service was good. Great little spot - you can sit outside and observe all the activity in the village. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyable meal at La Dispensa. Menu is in Italian but easy to read. The taglietta di manza with truffles was without doubt the best secondi plati of my week in Tuscany. Run by two friendly Italian ladies. Very reasonable and in a beautiful location. If your staying in or around Pomarance this is a must!

Whilst staying in the area we visited this place three times and we had been in previous years.Eating outside in the lovely street is a wonderful setting and typically Italian.The owner is very welcoming but it is the food which makes visitors flock here .Nothing fancy just simple honest Tuscan cuisine at its best . Try zucchini, the pasta dishes and the wild boar stew. Puddings are great too. Good local wines .A must visit if in the area but be sure to book .Canât wait to return.

I cannot recommend this place apart from the wonderful views.You need to book to get on the pergola but they really pack everyone in so you can hear others conversations.The service was ok and the food distinctly average.This is a tourist place but if you want really good Tuscan cuisine look elsewhere.Credo proprio che lei si sia sbagliato. Siamo uno dei pochissimi locali che fanno ricerca di materie prime territoriali e toscane. Selezioniamo personalmente ricette tramandate in famiglia da tre generazioni, produciamo pizza a km vero ossia avendo filo diretto con le aziende produttrici di carni e farine. Guardi, lei non ha proprio capito io nostro concerto aziendale.
