Cinghiale alle cacciatore, crostini, agnello alla grigilia all fine but no comparison to Guido at Magliano for example. We didn't try any of the pasta which we regreted as we saw it go by; we'd definitely go back to try the pasta. Service excellent and always there, very friendly, chatty a really pleasant lunch.

The antipasto misto was a good mix of satisfying antipasti.

We came back for lunch and were glad that we did. The tagliatelle with Ragu Al chiangale was one of the best plates of pasta that I have ever had (and I’ve eaten a LOT of pasta. The grilled radicchio was a great contorni. We gambled on the rusticiana (translate said it was rotisserie but it was really spare ribs); no matter, it was delicious. We overordered and overate….the portions are generous. If you’re in Capalbio or nearby, take the drive. You’ll thank me.

We had a late lunch there with other clients mostly local working people. Good freshly cooked simple dishes, generous portions.

Friendly staff. Efficient service and, what matters most, tasty cooking from southern Tuscany. Reservation is mandatory during peak season, typically summertime... read more Friendly staff.
