I'Desìo Ristorante — Restaurant in Greve in Chianti

The views are breathtaking and Daniele is a nice host. Unfortunately, the food both quantity and the quality were not what we expected based on the reviews.

The only offer a set menu and no choices are available. What is on offer on the day is what you get. However, as we don't eat pork Daniele was able to accommodate that by removing the salami options from the cheese board and by replacing a pork dish with a chicken.

As an appetizer, there were a few small slices of pecorino with home made pepper jam (the jam was very nice) and basic bruscheta with tomatoes and with onions. As mentioned, we don't eat pork but no replacement for salami was offered. Perhaps, more slices of cheese would have been nice as cheese was the best thing we had here. Then came a barley and beans soup. I don't eat barley, so my partner had my portion. For the main we were brought two small strips of over fried and very dry chicken schnitzel and the dessert was a small cup of mascarpone with a berry jam and that was all. Wine and water were also included in a fixed price. The wine was basic home made variety. Even though we finished our water and wine, no refills were offered. Despite the average quality of the food, there were a lot of people queuing up and waiting to be seated, so this place is extremely popular. One can assume, it must be the breathtaking setting that draws the crouds and not the food.

If Daniele reads this review, I hope he can take this as constructive feedback. We felt the setting was incredible and Daniele comes across as a nice host. If only he can improve the quality of the food, this restaurant could provide truly...

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The owner himself took care of us — very attentive and kind. He explained that they cook based on what they have available in the kitchen and from their garden, which makes the food feel truly homemade. They even make their own jam and olive oil.

The meal started with bread, garlic, salt, and olive oil, followed by three types of bruschetta: cheese with herbs, caramelized onion, and ragù. Then we had a traditional Tuscan dish called pappa al pomodoro (made with old bread, tomatoes, and herbs), which was hearty and comforting. The main course was pork with mashed potatoes, which was delicious, and for dessert we had biscotti with coffee.

The menu is a 4-course set menu, and it includes house wine (a Chianti), but we ordered a rosé for €20 instead. The total was €40 per person, which felt very fair considering the quality, atmosphere, and the breathtaking view.

If I could, I’d give it 4.5 stars — a truly authentic...
