What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Compagnia dei Vinattieri is praised for its exceptional pasta dishes, often hailed as the best in Italy, and its romantic, cozy Tuscan atmosphere. The extensive wine list is a major draw. However, some diners have found the portions small and the food bland, with one review mentioning a disappointing set menu. Service can be attentive, though occasional lapses in attentiveness have been noted.
"Absolutely amazing, best pasta iv eaten in Italy, can’t miss!!
Prices: extremely reasonable. For 2 pastas and 1 dessert for 2 people we paid 38.5. The meals are slightly on the small side but still filling. Pastas are 14-18 euro a plate, with meat meals on the 20-25 euro range. For such unique, tasty meals and such a fancy atmosphere, it was quite affordable.
Meals: FANTASTIC. Not exaggerating when I say this was the best pasta I have ever eaten in my life. Unique plates that were simply delicious.
Atmosphere: white table cloth vibe. Perfect for romantic or special evening but also good for every day dinner."

"Food was tasty with unusual compositions. Thoughtfully prepared, strong versions of regional fair. The beetroot tortellini was the standout by far."

"Disappointing experience - charming location however, the food was not good enough.
We chose the menu at 22€ and were pretty disappointed.
According to us, the amount of food served was not enough.
The starter and main dish were made using products having average flavors and there wasn’t many spice therefore we found it pretty bland.
We didn’t get to choose the dessert, we got industrial ice cream (straciatella and cream flavor).
Service was pretty slow and not so attentive, we had to ask several times to get water refills but both waiters outside were smiley and polite.
We had lunch outside but the inside is charming as pictured."
