What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Osteria Il Cinquino is celebrated for its authentic and delicious Tuscan cuisine, particularly its outstanding seafood and charming, rustic ambiance. While many praise the expertly prepared dishes and affordable prices, some reviewers note issues with inconsistent service, peculiar menu items, and the cash-only policy.
"This is authentic Italian food like great grandma used to make!! Excellent, fresh ingredients, prepared by expert but unpretentious cooks. I have had countless restaurant meals in Italy and this was easily one of the best seafood dinners I've ever eaten. Even the grilled chicken with potato side dish was outstanding! I can still taste the rosemary, thyme, and dried tomatoes on the potatoes. Would go back only for those :-D. I can't wait to go back to Tuscany to eat there again. For me the country "roadside shack" appearance of the building only made the overall experience even more "real" and satisfying. Must bring cash, no credit cards accepted. No menus in English so be prepared to grab translations off the net. Don't know how much English the staff speaks. This is a family run business and they have a very low key service style. Don't be disappointed if you don't get a lot of chit chat and smiles. Just wait for the food (it arrived fairly quickly) and you won't be disappointed."

"Delicious food! Some of the best Tuscan cuisine I’ve ever had, the pappardelle al cinghiale and linguine allo scoglio was to die for! We even ate there two times during our stay in the area because the food was so good and affordable. The only problem is that, like many tax invading shops and restaurants in Italy, this place only accepts cash :/"
