Ristorante Bar La Scuderia — Restaurant in Monte San Savino

We came to this resurant as a big family from iceland, we got terrible treatment. First impressions were okay. Many cats outside and had kind of a homey vibe, this was obviously a family business and we liked that vibe. We sat outside and it was very weird, table cloth was very dirty and the menu was only two sides and in paper that felt like paper you draw on. We ordered and got our dishes in totally random order, we got appitizers after main courses and some people didnt even get their first dish when others where done with their own food. Its very akward eating when someone else has not gotten anything and is starving. Some orders we did not even see at all.. We got orders from other tables and other tables got our order and it was all a big mess. The food was very uninteresting and we left not only very dissapointed but angry. A family member confronted the owner who did not take us seriously until they told the owner that they were a lawyer, only then she took us seriously and decided to apoligise. While we were eating there were a total of 5 tables, 3 dogs that were barking, and 2 babies that were crying non stop. Terrible experience and we even felt terrible for a long time after we were long gone. ps. Do not come if you are a tourist because locals got much much much better treatment. Never ever...

Antico Incrocio di Ristoro.

Si narra che Palazzuolo, in terra aretina, fosse, già ai tempi dei romani, un conosciuto punto di ristoro. Molto probabile che il motivo risieda nella via Francigena, anche se, a dire il vero, poco importa l'origine di tale narrazione. Un posto che si dice sia stato luogo di pausa e ristoro, già secoli or sono, è un posto che merita una sosta, soprattutto se tanto agognata. Forse si tratta di smacco o di sbeffeggio se sosti qui proprio arrivando dalla terra senese, ma essendo noi girovaghi senza meta e dimora, non ci si pone il problema delle rivalità tra province. Così, dopo aver goduto di passeggiate tra le contrade e riempito gli occhi e l'anima con quel campo divenuto piazza, ci siamo fermati presso "La Scuderia", luogo dove un tempo sostavano i cavalli. La location è piacevolmente classica, tipicamente locale, giusta per le terre e le tradizioni che deve rappresentare, con un bel giardino romantico e silenzioso. Il cibo, alla carta, presenta ottimi spunti per incuriosire a tal punto che diventa difficile scegliere, poiché si vorrebbe provare tutto. Ad ogni modo, ho assaggiato e goduto per vivere con soddisfazione e "La Scuderia", semmai fossi un cavallo di razza del gusto, mi ha servito i migliori schiaffi per le mie papille gustative. Fermatevi, or dunque, signori...e giammai vi pentirete! E solamente dopo un buon pasto potrò augurarvi...buon...

OMG! we found it by pure chance and... it was an unforgettable lunch! the tagliata (meat is sourced locally) was melting in the mouth, the tagliatelle with porcini simply delicious, the wine... well...it's the heart of Tuscany.... the homemade dessert to die for. Plus the setting is just unique (a restaurant that date back to the times when knights and their scudieri stopped for the night to eat rest and switch...
