La storia del nostro ristorante inizia con mia nonna materna che negli anni â60 aveva unâosteria di paese, dove si mesceva il vino, si giocava a carte e ci si ritrovava anche per guardare la televisione. Continua negli anni â70 quando mia mamma Fiorella i
We were referred here by someone at a local winery. Everything was so perfectly wonderful here--waiting for a table while exploring the hilltop-medieval village above it, dining with a sweeping view of the coast, eating amazing food and laughing at ourselves as we tried to decipher the menu. It is a very local place, so speak Italian or be prepared to wing it!

Really cool, upmarket place in an unexpected area. The food is divine and the service great. As it was summer, we sat (along with everyone else there that night) under the pergolas set up to resemble a covered courtyard. Very pretty.The presentation of the dishes was also faultless. A work of art. The food itself, cooked to perfection. A little more expensive but worth it for the quality. The only reason I give it 4*s was the amount of food. The portions were quite small. Luckily I wasn't so hungry and so it was just right for me - this time. Will definitely go again and I now wish I had had the Agnello di Zeri. Next time, perhaps?

It is well worth the expensive cab ride into the hills above Massa. Il Trillo has a little parking lot, if you are an intrepid driver. Still, I would rather tackle the impressive wine list when someone else is responsible for getting me safely home or to my hotel.We all have our own standards and perspectives. I only rate 5 to 10% of my reviews as excellent and really look for those 1 to 2% of venues that I find to be nearly magical-like this one! Readers of my reviews should know by now that we cherish dining experiences that are truly exceptional and evidence of the pinnacle of culinary talent. One should respect the many chefs who daily turn out solid and well crafted dishes. But as with music and sports, only a few are either true originals or so talented that they can capture a brilliant variation on the tried and true recipes. Of course, a devotion to the very best ingredients, an assembly of a wait staff that cares and performs at a similar high level, and an ambiance and setting that cossets and inspires their guests helps staging the show. Il Trillo has them all in spades. Being able to dine outside under their flowers and lemon trees is splendid and memorable.The entire menu sounded tempting, but my wife and I both chose a lovely pumpkin soup with black truffles, tortellini filled with pears and pecorino cheese in a saffron sauce with pistachios and a masterful duck breast in a sangiovese reduction sauce. We went our separate ways on desserts, but my passion fruit semifreddo and chocolate with a garnish of berries was spectacular.From a local, I understand this restaurant started as a well liked but modest osteria. It appears to have grown in both stature and sophistication without losing the warmth and genuine hospitality that merits success. Perhaps too informal to rate a Michelin Star, the kitchen is performing at a level that deserves one.We are so glad we made the effort to get here. We will be back!

Yes, we have been here now many times and it remains a favourite. When we are together we never get further than the anti-pasti because it is soooo much that we don't have space for more food even thought we know that the primo and secondo are delicious too. We love their fresh fish menu because in this area the Italians manly eat meat.

We had a fabulous evening out, we found this local restaurant by coincidence, and what a place. Nice service, tasteful restaurant children went along fine and we had the most tasteful and delicious 3-course meal. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasted so good. We can only recommend this restaurant and we will surely come back

Street food from florence and and other part of italy
This rather nice, spacious âsandwichâ bar in the pedestrianised centre of Massa (with indoor and outdoor seating) offers an awful lot more choice than mere panini. We were en route home from Florence and knowing hubby enjoys good tripe I thought we should make a slight detour from the autostrada to check it out. It was an excellent decision. While many take the panini option, we decided to have a ribolito (more than acceptable) followed by excellent tripe for hubby and a splendid tuna salad for myself. With bread, a bottle of wine, water and coffee it came to circa â¬35 â most acceptable. Service is cheery and prompt. Food allergies and intolerances are noted and respected â thank you! Both Italian and English are spoken and finding a parking space close by is not difficult. Consider!

It would be 1 star if not for the staff friendness.I was here for dinner, arranged for 20:15 (times are relevant). The restaurant offers 4 set menus, all of them have focaccia with different companion food, water and a glass of house wine:1. A cured meats and cheeses tagliere, and a veggie souffle (20 euros)2. A porcini pasta dish followed by a porcini tagliata (25 euros)3. A wild boar pasta dish followed by wild boar and polenta (20 euros)4. A mixed grilled meats meal (30 euros, min 2 people)Orders were taken at 20:30. Some focaccia appeared within minutes. I opted for the porcini set meal.Around 20:50 people who took meal 1 were served. But people who took meals 2 and 3 had to wait until 21:30 (!!!) to get their pasta. And the main courses of meals 2 and 3 were served around 22:10. Times were clearly not acceptable. But, at least for meal 2, the food itself was NOT acceptable as well, completely different from what normally meant to be (and of course, what was served was much cheaper than what expected). To be explicit:The porcini pasta was served with a sauce mainly made of smoked bacon with only tiny bits of porcini: the porcini flavour utterly lost, given the huge amount of smoked baconThe main course, advertised as a tagliata chianina with porcini, is meant to be a slab of meat at least 5 cm thick, done on charcoal, sliced in 1 cm thick slices, covered in fresh raw porcini cut in a julienne fashion: instead I got a slab of meat barely 3 cm thick unevenly cooked (and NOT on charcoal), cut in thick slabs, deadly cold (!!!), covered by slices of Parmesan cheese, and with a tablespoon of porcini sauce on a side: totally unacceptable, it is almost cheating the customer.I did look around, and the set meal 1, although fairly abundant, was also on the cheap side: some plain different cured meats, a couple of cheap spread cheeses (gorgonzola and stracchino), some anchovies: normally, a "plate of cheese" means a selection of cheeses with some peculiarities (like mountain goat cheese, cheese with herbs etc): again, what served here is far from what normally expected when a cheese plate is advertised.
