La Palazzina — Restaurant in Chiusdino

We first went to La Palazzina after they had closed after failing to find a restaurant that was still open. The owner and chef Francesco was outside and was shocked that we hadn't eaten yet so he offered to reopen the kitchen to make us some pasta. We declined because we didn't want to be a bother, but we returned the next day for dinner and Francesco came out and recognized us and wanted to make sure we had found something to eat the night before.

We arrived from Florence and had to make it to a wedding in 45 minutes. Franchesco greeted us and instantly made us at home. I asked if they had an Iron for my wedding shirt and he said he would only iron my shirt if I gave him the pants to iron as well. He sat is down for a quick lunch that was amazing and then personally drove us to the wedding venue. He then said it doesn't matter what time, call me when the wedding is over and I will pick you up! What an amazing place with amazing service! Thank...
