Da Luca — Restaurant in Unione dei Comuni Montani Amiata Grossetana

The photos in other reviews are not consistent with what was served to us. We are Italians and we know after eating here that this is an overpriced tasteless tourist trap. I highly suggest to go to the competition scottiglia or anywhere else honestly. The price is almost the same of a good restaurant (give or take 5 euros per person) but it isn’t, it’s worse than a cheap 10 euro work-meal you get in bars near industrial areas. The pasta pice and ravioli were 12 euro each, same as competition and completely tasteless supermarket precooked garbage. (only good thing is that Pici were managed to full me - an obese Italian from here, tuscany). Contorni were a joke. Spinach had nothing to them and were from a supermarket, tomatoes were just cut and dropped on the plate (not grown by them as the menu suggests), fagioli all’uccelletta had nothing but watery tomato and cheap precooked can beans. We are gonna try michelin tomorrow, I’d rather spend three times as much or just make myself a cheap supermarket sandwitch with local cheese than this joke of a place. Onoy the pizzas had normal prices and my assumption is that with the flow of tourists it tried to turn itself in something else? Try the pizza if you have to go, at least you waste only 8 euro each person. I have never seen a restaurant this lazy except for some cheap indian fastfood. This would be below the standards the average Italian finds in his house, no Italian would come back...

Average experience. Don't quite get the excitement over their pizza's. Crust is with very few taste and the tomato sauce was very basic. Apart from the long waiting time, we ordered 2 pizza prosciutto. First they brought one and forgot the second. Then 10 minutes later the second one was there with different prosciutto on it (thick sliced cubes of a different kind of ham instead of thin slices like the first one). Waitress claimed to be the same pizza. Left half of...

Percorrendo la strada che da Castel del Piano porta a Vivo D'Orcia s'incontrano nell'ordine: A) Ristorante La Scottiglia: intimorito dal caposala in auriculare, intendo proseguire B) Ristorante Silene (Stellato!!): la referenzialita' di casta mi degenera in intensi stati d'ansia per cui, intendo proseguire; ed infine C) Ristorante Da Luca: per il pellegrino tenace e ostinato che intorno alle 21 di sabato sera non intende ancora rassegnarsi al digiuno, l'ultima possibilità è sempre una questione di fede. Entrati nella sala d'ingresso alcuni parenti o affini dei proprietari, capitati in sala giusto per allungare la serata con qualche amaro, decidono di alzarsi, viene allestito un tavolo di fortuna, le sale sono piene. La convivialità è garantita. Il menù alla carta interessante. Le acciughe servite sembrano appena state pescate a largo della costa di Santander. La pizza e' buona. Un dolce in particolare: mascarpone, amaretti e caramello ed il conto, dall'odore di onesta', hanno il valore di un intero firmamento. Grazie ragazzi, la vostra sì che è...
