Lovely home feeling place with very polite staff. The food is excellent with big portions and reasonable prices. I would say it was the best Ragu with home made pici i have tried in Tuscany so far.

Authentic Italian food made to perfection. Recommended to make reservations since it's very popular with both the local community and passing travelers. I'm not going to make any recommendations, since its all good, just order it all and fall in love.

Incredible food! Unique, original restaurant space, built in 1782. The charcuterie and pastas were the best in Italy. Must-stop on the trip between Florence and Milan.

An absolute gem we found on the backroads from Florence to Milan. Seemed to be only open for lunch and we beat the crowd as there was a very long wait when we were leaving. Even though we arrived late for our plans in Milan very happy we found this warm establishment.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany at Via Montecarelli, 13, Antica Osteria di Montecarelli offers an authentic Italian dining experience that resonates with both locals and travelers alike. This historic osteria, dating back to 1782, invites you into a warm, homey atmosphere where traditional Tuscan flavors are celebrated with passion and precision.

The menu is a vibrant showcase of regional excellence. From the rich and hearty Antipasto Trionfo Del Mugello Divino to the delicate Nuvola Fritta Ripiena Di Crema Di Pecorino Mortadella E Pistacchi, each dish tells a story of local ingredients and time-honored recipes. The Tortelli Di Patate Al Ragù E Con Salsiccia E Funghi and Brasato Di Manzo Con Vino Rosso Con Polenta exemplify rustic Tuscan slow cooking at its finest—robust, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

One cannot overlook the pasta offerings, especially the Tagliatelle Al Guanciale E Crema Di Parmigiano and the unique Tagliatelle Al Sugo Di Cinghiale NA Bontà. Crafted with fresh, handmade pici and tagliatelle, these dishes capture the essence of Tuscan culinary heritage. The balance between the gamey wild boar ragù and the creamy parmesan sauce was particularly memorable—each bite unfolding layers of bold yet harmonious flavors.

Dessert selections such as Cantucci E Vin Santo and the Mix Di Dolci Della Casa provide a sweet, rustic finish, perfectly complementing the rich meal. The use of local Vin Santo and traditional biscotti offers an authentic taste of Tuscany's sweet traditions.
