I had lunch here with my handsome boyfriend who knew of it from an old Bourdain episode. He said after seeing that episode, he hasn’t been able to forget about the meat!! We made the stop to the unassuming village restaurant between the drive from Bologna to Florence. This was the best decision we made our entire trip to Italy! Amazing experience here. Food was perfect and everything about our visit was enjoyable. Our server was gracious and immediately made us feel very comfortable!

We had the grilled meat option which was delightful. All in all, we would recommend this restaurant to anyone...
