Osteria da Tronca

The setting was certainly very beautiful and the service was ok although confusing (condiments delayed compared to the service, cutlery taken away and not returned, etc.). In any case, the staff presents themselves in an affable and kind manner. It's a bit of a shame about the food: appetizer (a platter of Tuscan cured meats) quite poor, raw materials not of the highest quality, accompanied by rather stale bread. We then had two first courses, tagliolini (gluten-free) with duck ragù and pici with a sage and almond pesto. Good ragu, pesto bordering on edible (extremely salty and liquid). The almonds were practically whole and not part of the pesto. Pasta (both) completely overcooked, well beyond the cooking point and in both cases almost completely detached from the sauce - it probably doesn't help that both first courses were served on flat plates, which make it really difficult to eat the pasta well mixed with the sauce/pesto. We reported to the waiter that the pasta was overcooked, we were told that since there were so many people the kitchen was a bit packed and it would have escaped. Beyond this response, no action was taken nor did the restaurateurs try to recover the situation a little. Positive note: wide availability of gluten-free choice and attention to the problem, which is why I gave two stars instead of just one and which is the only reason why I recommend it, in the only case in which someone has this dietary requirement. To complete the menu, two glasses of wine, a bottle of water and two bitters. Wide choice of wines, all of good quality.

We came across this tavern/restaurant by chance recommended by a friend I have to say it was great advice Excellent food, right portions very kind staff Guaranteed gluten-free Only problem but I think this concerns all the restaurants in the villages, it is not wheelchair accessible and in my opinion it is also difficult for the elderly because the bathroom is on the top floor and the staircase is really ugly

The tavern is very nice, we were welcomed by the owner, a person with charisma and also very nice, he puts you at ease and in a good mood. The cuisine is typical Tuscan with a touch of modernity, being celiac I need attention in the preparation of my dishes, here I was calm and afterwards I had no problems, in addition to the gluten free choice, you can choose other options from the menu. We ate quail eggs with truffles, I ate fettuccine with wild boar ragù, as a second course with peposo and baked potatoes. Nice experience
