Il Cantuccio Restaurant Wine Bar - Castellina — Local services in Castellina in Chianti

Our favorite restaurant in Castellina! After spending 4 weeks in Castellina area and dining in many of the restaurants in Chianti, I can honestly say that this one is a winner! We loved everything from the food to the atmosphere. Whatever you see on the menu will be homemade, fresh and delicious , oh their bread and pizza is amazing too! The owners are out there serving tables and taking orders making sure everyone is being helped. Restaurant is open all day doesn’t close after lunch and if you want gelato, it’s right across the street. The place is very authentic and Pasquale (one of the owners) makes it even more special by making you feel right at home. He is very knowledgeable about the wine of the region and whatever he recommended we enjoyed and even shipped some boxes home, which you can purchase in the enoteca right across the street that he is also a part of. But the best part was my birthday celebration which my husband asked him to organize for me as a surprise. Pasquale managed to get an exquisite bouquet of flowers that was brought in from sienna, not to mention Beautiful table, setting, 330champagne, Amazing food, including porcini mushrooms, ossobucco, lamb and all different kinds of pasta, plus ice cream cake! Thank you Pasquale and Francesco for a memorable experience! See you...

We sat down at a table, luggage and all and immediately were offered a space to stow our bags so we could relax and figure out where we were supposed to be. We ordered some food, bruscetta to start and it was one of the best we had in our whole vacation. I had a Ceasar salad, and my boyfriend had the tagliatelle with beef ragu and cheesecake for desert. Our food was all excellent. I asked it it was okay if I got a gelato from the shop across the street to bring to the table. Turns out, that shop is there's as well, so no problem. I had Gelato in probably 6 towns, and this was by far the creamiest and best. Back to the service, as soon as they say we were somewhat lost, with no car, on our way to a farmhouse nearby, they offered us assistance in getting us there and any other help we might need during our stay. They were so kind, we are forever grateful to Aleandro and Pasquale. Truly the epitome of...

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality that makes you feel like family. The menu is a celebration of traditional Tuscan cuisine, with every dish prepared using fresh, high-quality local ingredients.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Bistecca alla Fiorentina – perfectly grilled, incredibly tender, and bursting with flavor. It was, without a doubt, one of the best I’ve ever had. The homemade pasta, regional wines, and delicious desserts completed an unforgettable meal.
