All our dishes, from home-made pasta to the high quality meat, are inspired by the Sienese tradition. Their uniqueness perfectly match with the intense taste of our extra virgin olive oil and our extraordinary wine which you could enjoy in the typical atm

We enjoyed dining at this out of the way restaurant. The weather wasnât perfect so we sat indoors. The large vaulted dining room had a warm atmosphere. As others have said, this is slightly finer dining than other restaurants weâve eaten at in the area. The parmigiana melanzane starter was tasty if a ârefinedâ portion . The slow cooked chicken was good too. The chocolate tart desert was good but more like a chocolate cake. Service was friendly and efficient.

We came across the restaurant by chance after visiting Abbey Di Salgano. We were welcomed by the very friendly owner who spoke about as much English as we spoke Italian. The place was very clean and the simple food we had was plentiful and delicious. We would certainly go back again if we could find it!

We booked ahead as quite a busy restaurant. It is situated on quite a high hill past the village of Orgia.As stated parking about 100m below the restaurant.The views are fantastic. Lemon chicken was very nice, the pork fillet was good.However service could have been better, probably due to how busy it was. Greeted very abruptly, took plates whilst others were still eating, asked for the bill 3 times over a 25 minute period.We paid the cover charge and the service charge, but in hindsight wish I hadnât. However we are English - ingrained not to cause a fuss!!!

Darling little restaurant in Chuisdino! We dined her on a Friday night. I had pizza and my husband ordered pasta with wild boar. Both were tasty. Our server was very friendly and even showed us a picture of a wild boar he caught earlier in the week. Lots of laughter and lots of food & wine as we dined el fresco. WE noticed a grandmother type person bringing pizzas, salads and wine from the kitchen to a table of 30-35 people. The more they ate and drank, the more she brought. When we asked are server what was going on he replied, "It is a gathering place. Every Friday night the local families get together to eat, drink and visit with their neighbors" Delightful to watch!

Thirteen of us had lunch at La Grotta and it was a delightful experience. Excellent house wine and bottled water were on our tables as soon as we arrived.We had a set menu because of the size of our group starting with fresh garden salad, followed by the best fried vegetables. Next came malfatti or gnudi, little round balls that would normally be wrapped in a ravioli pasta.Dessert was a delicious mascarpone slightly sweetened.Service was very good and the price was very reasonable.Highly recommended

As guests staying in the hotel it was an easy decision to take dinner here on one evening of our stay. Seating is either indoors or on the covered terrace, and as it was Saturday there was a singer accompanied by a couple of musicians; they were all surprisingly good and added to the special atmosphere of the place.We opted for the a la carte as we felt that the pricing for the tasting menus was on the high side for a 1* (in fact they are not dissimilar to a 2*). The food was well prepared and of a very solid 1* standard, using a lot of homegrown produce which is always nice to see. The fish main course could have had a slightly larger portion size as it was a main course rather than part of a tasting menu. The desserts were of a particularly high standard; some aspects showed more technique and finesse than the other courses - it is always good to see a strong pastry section.The service was very good throughout the dinner and it was a very pleasant evening. I'd certainly recommend dining here if you are staying at the hotel.Dear IntlTraveller21stc,Thank you so much for taking the time to write your lovely comments - we are so happy to read that you enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food at Meo Modo. Thank you for mentioning, among other things, the professional service of our staff - it was a pleasure to have you with us and we look forward to having you back again soon!

You might need to be a dedicated traveller if you were to set out specifically to find this little treat, but if you are in Tuscany and visiting the old Abbey at San Galgano, then make the effort to look in and have a meal or a snack. It is accessible immediately off the road, but more interestingly accessed via the hill climb from the Abbey up to the church and then down a small track to the bar. It is signed and not too difficult to locate or get to. There is a terrific shop attached selling all sorts of local produce and some very good local wines. Also the range of available meats and cheeses are well worth a try.The menu is quite reasonable, the proprietor very helpful and the food well made and presented. This was a delightful find and I would recommend it to any traveller in the region.

This restaurant is a trattoria bonded to an agro-tourisic farm.They have some rooms to rent and they cook simple home food using their own vegetables and cereals to make fresh pasta and they sell their own wines.The quality is good but nothing really special.The service is very slow and you have to ask twice for what you need but, after having visited the nearby wonderful abbey, you can be more patient.

Had a nice antipasti and secundari both with wild boar. It was pretty quiet when we had dinner (late in the season on a thursday), but the food was all worth it. My girlfriends pasta was pretty 'dente', but that seems to be the Italian standard, that we still need to get used to ;-). Mind you; Pizza's are only available on Saturdays and Sundays!Thank you for the good judgment, but just for the tranquility that you have found, you need to understand that the pizza needs so many not two or three requests.In fact, in pizzerias there is always a lot of confusion.Best regards
