Osteria bandit — Restaurant in Gaiole in Chianti

My recent visit to "Osteria Bandit" offered an incredible taste of Tuscany in an equally captivating setting.

The restaurant boasts a beautiful terrace that presents a breathtaking view of the surrounding Tuscan countryside. This unique setting provides a truly memorable dining experience.

One of the highlights of my visit was an unforgettable sunset dinner. As the sun descended, it illuminated the Tuscan hills with a warm, golden light, setting the scene for a magical evening.

Osteria Bandit didn't disappoint when it came to the cuisine. Each dish served was a perfect interpretation of traditional Tuscan food, delightfully prepared and presented. From antipasti to main courses and desserts, each meal was an exquisite experience for the palate. The house red wine was particularly noteworthy. It was exceptionally delicious, complementing the meals perfectly. The quality of the wine, given its price, was pleasantly surprising, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to offering high-quality experiences. Adding to this wonderful experience was the service. The staff at Osteria Bandit was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, enhancing our dining experience with their attentive service.

Despite the quality of the food, service, and the enchanting views, the cost was incredibly reasonable. This restaurant undoubtedly offers excellent value for money.

Osteria Bandit is an excellent choice for anyone seeking to enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine while taking in the region's picturesque views. I wholeheartedly...

The food is absolutely fantastic, exactly what is to be expected from such a secluded gem in the Tuscan hills of chianti. The sausage is an absolutely must have; the pasta was made with the upmost care and Italian beauty. I wish my stomach was bigger to have even more. The house red is fantastic; recommend taking the full litre rather than the half - as it goes down so easily and so well. Was very relaxed atmosphere which screamed home cooked + romance; and the views over sunset in Tuscany I wish I could put on a postcard. Service was fantastic; and much like the setting - No pressure, smiles and very very relaxed!

Osteria has misleading sign suggesting it’s open only for lunch- I recommend it for dinner too. Beautiful place with nice terrace with view on surrounding hills. Very good food - most from classical Tuscany cuisine but I strongly recommend you to try chief’s special - pasta alla il bandito etc. It’s a new flavour, good sidekick for typical food you eat in Chianti. Selection of wines contains neighbouring winery Rietine - perfect Chianti. I visited Rietine 15 years ago and still remember its taste. What a shame that this amazing winery itself is permanently closed, open only on...
