Trattoria Matteuzzi (ex Trattoria Ponterotto) — Restaurant in San Casciano in Val di Pesa

Absolutely incredible restaurant. From the starters (fantastic portions too) of pappa al pomodoro, ribollita and taglieri; to the main dishes consisting of rosticciana, salsiccia and other types of meat, were all of superb quality. Desserts were incredible, from the cheesecake to the tiramisù. The vino della casa was good. Really, everything was of excellent quality. The restaurant itself is extremely cute, typical family-run Tuscan restaurant. The Matteuzzi family, who all works there is extremely kind and always ensures you have a great time in this wonderful place. Interior design of the restaurant is contemporary and very cozy. Bathrooms are clean and have pedal controlled sinks which is fabulous (unfortunately becoming a rarity in Italy). Cristina, the main character of the restaurant, is an incredibly kind and passionate person which will make your experience at Trattoria Matteuzzi unforgettable. Location is excellent, roughly 20 minute car ride from the center of Florence and very close to San Casciano. It is very well connected thanks to the Firenze - Siena highway. It is located in a beautiful countryside and offers plenty of parking. They also have so much livestock! Chickens, piccioni, they got it all. Price is great, we were a table of 6, ate plenty plenty of food, desert, wine and coffee and pricing was €30 each. I absolutely recommend it, truly a 10/10 experience. Will surely be back! Thank you to the Matteuzzi family for the incredibly...

We got the pappa al pomodoro and the Ribollita as our first course and they both didn't disappoint, the dishes were pretty much clean after. As our second course we had a selection of different meat like sausages and ribs with potatoes, also incredible. Everything we were unable to finish we took to go as well. I then had a tiramisú as dessert which was the perfect way to end the lunch. I 100% recommend coming here for lunch if you're in the area and enjoy a local restaurant in the...

Rustic and authentic Tuscan food in an off the beaten track trattoria, with a long history dating all the way back to 1870.

Priced fairly with decent portions of food that is targeted at a local audience, although also welcome to tourists. The opposite of a tourist trap approach to presentation and general atmosphere remaining humble and sociable. Strongly recommend the bistecca and the tagliatelle when available, and the apple tart for dessert.

As an added bonus, the decoration really adds character to the indoor section of the trattoria! In other words, couldn’t recommend...
