If you haven't been here- it's a must! The moment you walk it, the team treats you like family. The food is Michelin experience with elements of surprises and fine details that make the dishes cohesive and balanced. We tried the prefix dinner menu, the Curator option, and it's out of this world. Every dish is authentic and yet unique. Our waiter, Luca, is kind and genuine. He took the time to go over the dishes and provided references to Tuscany as if we were there. The manager, Antonio, is welcoming and provided a joyful atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening! We will be back!

It was too quiet for such a good restaurant. The ambiance was lovely. The staff is attentive is a quiet way and the food was exceptional. The salmon came with risotto and vegetables that I would not expect to be as wonderful as it was. And a light almond, lemon olive oil cake. Very nice. And a great dinner that made a great evening.
