La Dolce Vita Music & Garden — Restaurant in Certaldo

A wonderful little cafe. So glad we stopped here. It was more than just yummy food and a cold drink, it was an experience. All of the good reviews are well deserved. There were vegan options ( bean bruschetta, tomato bruschetta, etc ) vegetarian, and meat options, something delicious to satisfy everyone. As mentioned by other reviewers, the owners warmth and great service really add to the charm of this place.

It is a perfect balance of authentic originality without being forced or touristy. No need to wander around looking for a place to go, this is it. We were there mid-May, and the outdoor seating was very enjoyable....

We tried various drink options including cocktails and a good selection of beers. If your lucky enough to get a seat in the afternoon, it's a superb location to sit and soak up the relaxed atmosphere of this charming old town. The locals will visit for an espresso and a chat which is the final indication of a great little cafe to visit. Sham to leave. HIGHLY...

We ended up striking up some conversations with several locals and listened to the owner play guitar while a young woman sang. A very nice mix of locals and visitors, mixing...
