Ristorante Casalta — Restaurant in San Casciano in Val di Pesa

Worst experience we’ve had by FAR in Italy. Where do I even start. It was despicable. We were 4 people sitting outside. I took short pasta (they bring me the wrong plate at first, I started eating 15 minutes after everyone). My friend took the lamb. The worst dish of his life. I couldn’t finish the bite. the sauce was despicable. The worst thing I ever tasted. I thew my bite out in a napkin. Couldn’t finish it. The sauce tasted old stuff, we still talk about it in the car on the way home. It was absolutely awful.

My fiancé and her sister took the risotto. It was just yellow rice, almost Uncle Ben’s rice from the US.

When my pasta finally came, it was as if I made them. And god knows I don’t know a thing about cooking. The sauce was just not good and the pasta were overcooked. I simply couldn’t believe we were eating these meal in Tuscany. Unbelievable.

After 3 bites of my plate, we decided to leave. Our plates were full. My friend tried his best to eat the lamb, but the sauce was just unbearable. I’ve got the taste in my mouth as I’m writing these lines.

We obviously paid, but truthfully, that was an absolute horror of a night.

I absolutely don’t recommend this restaurant, as beautiful as it may seem from...

The service was good. The food is ok. Not sure if the chef was having a bad cooking day but the risotto we had was really raw, we sent it back and it came back still raw, almost aldante but still on the raw side. The portion was really small which we didn't mind. The grilled shrimp and squid was charred and tasty but our other dish, the rabbit was salty and not tender. Overall we wouldn't go back here. There were only one other couple here so the chef shouldn't have any reasons to under...
