My recent visit to Il Maialetto was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cozy yet elegant décor set the perfect tone for a memorable meal.
The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about our dining experience. Their recommendations were on point, enhancing our meal in every way.
Now, onto the main event - the steak. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. The quality of the meat was evident, and it was clear that the chefs take great pride in their craft. The sides were equally delicious, complementing the steak beautifully.
Overall, Il Maialetto exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It's a place I would gladly return to and recommend to fellow food enthusiasts. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, this is the...
Read moreIl Maialetto was overall pretty good! The chef was very nice. He brought out the full block of steak to show us the quality of the steak and let us choose how thick we wanted our steak. The ribeye steak was well salted and cooked to the requested temperature. We also ordered the pork with extra crispy skin and the tomato bread with prosciutto. The pork was very delicious, well seasoned and the crackling skin was amazing. The tomato bread was okay, the prosciutto was cut pretty thick and overwhelmed the tomato spread.

If you're in town visiting or staying at the Grotto, I would highly recommend visiting Il Maialetto for a...

We sat at the bar where you could view the barista and butcher at work. We had the ravioli with meat sauce and the pasta e fagioli soup to start. The most amazing soup I’ve ever had. If it weren’t a restaurant I would have licked the bowl clean. We then ordered the Florentine steak… it was the best steak I’ve ever had. The portion was so big we couldn’t finish but I sure did try my best. We also found our favorite wine of the trip here, steccaia costa tuscana bianco and I’m planning to order some back to the US now. 10/10 would recommend and will come back if ever back though Montesummano. We finished our meal with a cappuccino which capped it off perfectly. The service was amazing as well. Such a cool spot and recommend trying it...
