The plain has been usable for agriculture since Roman times. The commune's territory becomes hilly as it departs from the river.

Figures first, as usual: total 35 EUR for 1 outstanding dinner for 1 person1 fish fillet over artichokes sauce (filetto di pesce con carciofi): 18 EUR1 mixed salad (generous serving): 3 EUR1 cheese pudding with pears sauce (budino di formaggio con pere): 8 EUR1 wine glass of local vines: 3 EUR1 large set of small house dessert (dolcetti della casa): complimentary1 bottle of mineral water sanpellegrino1 cover charge: 3 EURThe place at first sight looked to me a sad large room with little furniture and an internet radio making noise in the background. I was hungry and it was late, so II decided for the "prisoner of war code of conduct" that is provide only name, rank and service number if questioned and select only few healthy choices from the menu.So I choose the fish fillet and a simple salad... ...but when it was served it was love at the first bite ! And my perception of the place changed dramatically. The balance of taste between the steam-cooked fish and the artichokes was a real piece of art. I sent my first congratulations to the Chef.Then the mixed salad: very fresh and rich in vegetables came with companion bottles of excellent olive oil and aromatic vinegar.But my second congrats to the Chef was for the cheese pudding: ONCE AGAIN the combination and balance of taste of cheese and pears sauce was mind-blowing.Wine: I was poured a very generous glass of local white wine made with vines of san colombano trebbiano & malvasia. Astonishing quality for the price !Finally I want to mention the very nice service received with my waitress answering all my questions with details and being always present without being pressing. The final touch was the collection of micro-dessert she brought them to my table after I asked for the bill and for free.So what could improved ? well...let me think...may be just the radio...

Ristorante Riso & Brace

Reviewed By londonpaola84

Siamo stati in questo ristorante per Halloween e devo dire che siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. Locale carino e personale gentilissimo, in special modo il proprietario che ci ha spiegato i piatti. Abbiamo preso antipasto misto di carne, molto buono e vario; l’antipasto di polpo, ottimo e poi un riso con anatra, a detta di chi l’ha mangiato superlativo, il polpo, ed io ho preso il tonno, buono ma in certi punti era molto forte il sapore, non so da cosa è dipeso. Non mi ha convinto del tutto, comunque il giudizio rimane molto positivo. Abbiamo speso relativamente poco per l’ottimo cibo, 25 euro a testa. Peomosso e ritorneremo presto.

Traditionnal local food operated by members of the same family. You have to try the bistecca. Wine list is extensive and the prices very reasonable. The restaurant can sit about 40 people and it is located on the borgo san giusto property owned by the Bini family. They operate a B&B. Try it you will love it.

We stopped here for lunch with friends. This is their favorite lunch spot. You order up front from items scrawled on the wall or notes. Their is a big variety of meats, pasta and vegetables. Everything was fantastic. The staff was very friendly. Not sure if any spoke English. And I had my first tripe here, which was quite good!

Ciborgo

Reviewed By 80_iNdy

What can I say, the food was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend Ciborgo highly enough! The quality of the seafood which just melted in your mouth and the dishes were well presented. It's hard to pick a favourite! I think We were in a group of 8 people and the service was impeccable. The sommelier was quite knowledgeable and recommended cracker of a white wine to accompany the seafood dishes.

Revisited Tuscan tasting, with particular attention to the choice of raw materials and aesthetics of the dishes. Open kitchen. Possibility to delight food on the poolside or in the terrace with excellent views.

Whoa what a hidden gem. Excellent find for you foodies out there. Fresh everything, not that's a given in Tuscany, how about flavorful. Excellent meals can be had here, give it a try, its the best in a 5 mile radius after much research. (in my snobby foodie opinion)Thanks, A casa tua.
