5 well-deserved stars!!! A place where the welcome and atmosphere are the first thing you fall in love with. Then read the menu and discover a carefully selected selection of traditional and innovative dishes, with high-quality ingredients and carefully crafted preparation methods for every type of meat or fish. Save room for the desserts, because they are exceptional. Many compliments to the chef, the entire staff, and the owner. I can't wait to return! Highly recommended!
A unique experience Expertly prepared food with a nod to the traditions of our history Superlative desserts Simple yet refined atmosphere where every piece of furniture, canvas, and sculpture has its own story. A must-try
A total immersion, which took me away from everything and completely into the Tuscan flavor, tied to tradition but with a constant search for beauty and goodness, for balanced flavors. From the correct use of oil in the ragùs, to the never-ending quest to enjoy what's on the table first... grateful to Paolo the owner, to Carlo, a timeless restaurant manager with a twinkle in his eye for the dishes on the menu, to Cristoforo and the very young staff for the excellent, friendly, and never-invasive service... highly recommended.
Excellent food paired with excellent service. Recommended; ask the staff for advice and you can't go wrong.
When professionalism, quality, and a genuine love and passion for the work come together, a place like Olio is born. It's clear from the moment you step inside that it's a unique establishment, escorted by Carlo, who eloquently introduces you to his world of flavors and exquisite details. The warm welcome at the entrance is complemented by the view of the main dining room, which greets you with artwork from various museums, each piece contributing a classic atmosphere that will delight your eyes. The table service, provided by a charming young man named Andrea, was an experience in itself, thanks to his absolute professionalism, courtesy, and impeccable use of formal language. The olive oil tasting, explained by Carlo with admiration for Tuscan culinary tradition, opens the feast of flavors that Olio has to offer. From the tuna, sea bream, tender meat, and pasta with white truffle, to the various signature desserts, and the excellent Antinori wine, the dining experience was more like a dance of textures, colors, subtle nuances, and surprises. A synchronized dance between host, staff, and ingredients, all blending in perfect harmony to deliver the finest service. Olio offers a feast not only for the palate, but also for the eyes and the soul. My congratulations on creating such a small masterpiece.

We had dinner outside in front of this food shop with kitchen use. Typical Tuscan dishes, cheeses and fresh vegetables. Only in the evening there was nothing hot (eg parrot with tomato). Full dinner, in three we spent 33 Euros.
Food bottle with kitchen service; in summer it has some tables outside the premises, overlooking the main square of Sinalunga. We ate tomato parrot and cheese cutter, all good, abundant and at low price. Family management, hand service. Only sin does not accept electronic payments. Attention to anti-Covid standards. Anyway, try.
We had dinner one night on the tables outside. Few dishes offered, but still assorted, did not make croutons for too hot. Very good tomato parrot, level selection of pecorini, La caprese con stracciatella di burrata had delicious tomatoes. We ate to satiety and spent 28,00 euros in 4 including drinks (mineral water for the remarkable heat). Definitely to try.
