Boccon Divino

One of the best culinary experience we ever had. With a breathtaking view, the restaurant is very simple and elegant. The menu is short but with a good variety of choices. I can’t explain how we were so surprise by the taste, texture and mixture of ingredients. It was perfect. We enjoyed every bite, and we truly reccomend for you also to visit them if you are here. Do not forget about a reservation, it’s mandatory. You will love them too. Hats off for all of you, and thank you Kaci for your great service.

Beautiful evening at Boccon Divino for our honeymoon. 7-8 course tasting menu was superb. Onion soup with hint of cinnamon was a hit. Portions of the tasting menu were smaller but at the end of all courses, with the second dessert (included) it’s perfect. Met with the owner who was very gracious. Service was impeccable and so is the view of the valley. Bravo!

A beautiful restaurant, with very good service and lovely well presented and delicious Tuscan food. Two sisters, one chef and one front of house have created this magical spot with beautiful views. Romantic and special, it's worth a trip just for the escapism. You can see why they are such an institution! Definitely start with the carta musica. Also incredible wine list.

One to skip; the worst restaurant we visited in tuscany. Do not know how it made it onto the michelin guide. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to a poor experience. We prebooked, and were asked where we wanted to sit. When we suggested the first several tables, we were told these were “reserved” - even though we’d made a reservation. You’re then told they have no menus, only a QR code. You’re in a location with only 1 bar of signal and their wifi is faulty (see screenshot. Edit: removed as google does not permit screenshots). Trying to load the menu was a welcome distraction, as it took them over 30 minutes to even take a drinks order and this was only after we flagged them down. It was c. 1 hour by the time we got starters, in a 2/3 full restaurant so it’s not like they were rushed. The food was mixed; a couple of nice dishes such as ravioli but others totally unremarkable: one starter is literally shredded carrots with vinaigrette (and some decoration). Another starter is like a cheese toastie with sliced tomato on top. The pappardelle sauce tasted exactly like €1 kraft macaroni cheese sauce. Other tables had old wine glasses left, despite nearly finishing their second, etc etc. Our waiter, the small man, was very unwelcoming to the point of being unprofessional. One of our napkins was dirty. Small points but not at all what you’d expect from somewhere on the michelin guide, especially with such intense competition within walking distance. Also note that whilst the terrace is nice, the restaurant is not west facing: so you will see sunset colours, as with anywhere, but not the sunset.

This place is fantastic. We had outdoor seating with a view of the valley second to none. One of the owners was on the patio eating dinner at the same time, and he was very friendly - he had 3 kids and enjoyed “chatting” with our 15 month old. The food was amazing. They had some simple options for kids (our daughter’s bow tie pasta - not pictured - was delicious). The ingredients all tasted very fresh and some even come from their own garden. The owner told me his wife uses sous-vide for a lot of the cooking and really enjoys the details of making the desserts. The presentation of the food with fresh flowers was amazing. The handmade ravioli was delicious, the cod and creamy beet sauce were fantastic. All the flavors were well balanced. In all seriousness, I have never eaten better food. When you factor in the view and the friendly staff and consider that the food was to-die-for, it was the perfect place for an anniversary dinner. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.

Their pasta is delicious, but no better than any of the many outstanding options in Tuscany (for a fraction of the price). It’s a Michelin restaurant, so you expect to pay more for the presentation and rating. But the meats were plain terrible. The duck became a thick paste in your mouth, and the beef was overcooked. So not at all worth the price unless you need to say you’ve been to a Michelin rated restaurant.
