Just finished up eating at this place. Been in Italy for the last week(Rome and Sorrento), but this was by far our favorite meal. It looks like a little hole in the wall from The outside but has caffe seating and then a nice upstairs garden terrace. My wife ordered the “pici all anotra con fonduta di parmigiana” which consisted of duck. It was similar to a bolognese. I normally avoid bolognese, I tried some of her dish and regretted not getting it myself. This was the best pasta dish I had in Italy so far. The ratio of meat(duck), sauce, and the PAsTA! Was perfect. I had ordered the spaghetti with clam sauce, the sauce was delicious and the only place I had better clams and mussels was in Sorrento(naturally since it’s right on the sea). All the items on the menu were very reasonable Priced ($10-15.) The wine recommendation from Miriam(Castore Syrah) was so good I bought a bottle to go, and overall much more affordable and delicious bottles of wine compared to Rome and Sorrento. Robin, who was like the manager there, was an absolute gentleman. He went above and beyond for us in translating the menu, helping with allergies, and arranging for a ride home for us. Overall The waitstaff, even those who did not speak English were accommodating and happy To do their best to help. This has been my favorite restaurant in Italy thus far and appeared to be a favorite between locals and tourists alike. Thanks for having...
Read moreIf you happen to find yourself in the area of Ambra (Tuscany region), you have to stop into the ancient village of Ambra to dine at Alla Corte di Bacco. It's probably best to make a reservation in advance as it does start getting busier as it gets later into the dinner hours. We got there and we were seated promptly in the upstairs outside patio area, and the servers came by to offer us bugspray as well as it was a little buggy at the time outside- it really was a nice touch and greatly appreciated!
They came by with a complimentary prosecco starter and bread as we started looking over the menu.
To start we had the wild boar pasta, and another meat based pasta, all around 10-15 Euros. The pasta was all homemade and OMG was absolutely outstanding!
For the entree, we ordered the rosemary steak for 24 Euros. It was also amazing as well and the meat was very juicy and fresh. We also ordered the french fries (sliced potatoes) and fresh veggies as sides and these were all amazing and fresh as well.
For dessert we were pretty full, but we did get the homemade lemon sorbet, which they offered to include a shot of alcohol for 3 Euros and this was absolutely amazing as well and perfect for a hot day outside.
Food and service are all outstanding here and we look forward...
