Taverna dell'Ozio — Restaurant in San Miniato

Hello from Malaysia!

We had a lovely lunch (very lucky to have walked-in) and experienced some home-styled dishes. Everything of course has truffle (season starts around end-Sep early-Oct). Service is lovely and the menu will be explained by the wait staff.

We recommend going for single portion for everything so you can try more of their food (their portions are big!). We had mushroom salad (red mushroom season), home made pasta with truffle and steak with truffle (potato frittes on the side).

This place is a great change to the usual Italian food you’ll have in city centers, away from all the commercial “usuals”.

Definitely will be coming back some day when we visit Tuscany again!

Oh! And house wine is good too! And bring cash. No visa or MasterCard...

A super cosy place in a small village. Restaurant is small and usually in the evening is totally full, so booking in advance is recommended.

Last year we did a dinner of 25 people here and everything was organised and went great.

This time - just the two of us. The area is known for their truffles and this restaurant represents it. Most of the dishes are made with truffles, if it’s burrata or caprese salad, you will find truffles on any, so if you like truffles - highly recommend.

The staff is friendly, helpful, one girl speaks english.

And the prices are...

We visited on the off chance late in the evening having just arrived in the area from Pisa airport. We managed to get a table, in spite of the place still bustling at 10.30 pm, and were more than happy with our choice. We decided not to go for the beef speciality as it was so late and stuck to a smaller and lighter pasta dish with a salad which was all good. We tried to return on our way back to Pisa, but no chance, the place was booked out. The moral of the story is try the beef the first time you're there or make sure you book early. This place is...
