My husband and I stayed in San Gimignano for one night and decided to book a reservation at LINFA. Let me start off by saying the service was incredible! The two females and male sommelier waiting on our table are a 10/10! They’re so polite, helpful, and passionate. We had fresh flowers waiting for us at our table to celebrate a birthday. They were attentive throughout the entire evening and spaced the courses perfectly. They even all walked to the door when we left to send us off with a bag of cookies and the flowers from our table. The food overall was good- there are plenty of pasta and meat options and different course options to choose from. I’m sure many other guests have a better palate for the type of food served, we just found a few of the options to not be worth the money. The aesthetic of the restaurant is gorgeous. LINFA offers a cozy and chic vibe with all of the little touches you can think of. Lastly, it is extremely gracious of the restaurant to allow children inside to dine however I do believe this affected our overall experience negatively. By no means do I believe it is the restaurants fault as they handled the children with grace but the table next to us had two young children who were up and down constantly throughout the meal, were loud, and bumped into the staff at least 3 times thought out the evening. Unfortunately we found it distracting and were hoping for a more intimate fine...

WOW. What a wonderful find. A modern restaurant where the chef is redefining Italian cuisine with an upscale yet fun experience, Linfa pushes the boundaries of elegant dining with incredible surprises and a warm atmosphere. We came in for a nice dinner and left with our palates expanded and our minds blown. Everything from the presentation to the wine pairings and waiters’ deep knowledge of each dish brought the meal to another level. No wonder this will easily be the next big restaurant in San Gimignano (yum yum!). We had a blast- the dishes were playful, the tasting menu was well curated and there was some great humor throughout. At the same time a six piece amuse bouche meant they weren’t messing around and, I’ve never had a pigeon grab me in its clutches like one...
