Ristorante La Fattoria — Restaurant in Barberino Tavarnelle

My wife and i visited this restaurant last night , and were treated to the most memorable presentation of a traditional Tuscan meat Feast….after making the difficult choices of what meat to eat…. Wild Boar / Lamb / Florentine Steak / Veal or a regular steak…we chose the Wild Boar ragu pappardelle to start . The pasta was perfection.

negative experience. I received good recommendations about this restaurant. I reserved a table for 4 people. I was pleasantly surprised that almost all the tables in the restaurant were occupied. The complete disappointment was that we had to wait 2 hours for our order. On this day, the restaurant staff was not able to cope with serving guests. The waiter forgot to inform that they could not prepare one of the dishes in the order. this became clear only after two hours of waiting. The chef apologized and presented him with a bottle of wine.
