We didn't plan to stop here for lunch, but I'm so glad we did! An incredible view from the panoramic dining room over the rolling hills and vineyards make a perfect backdrop for local wine and food. The pappardelle with wild boar ragout was delicious, well seasoned, and very hearty. Service was prompt and friendly, and the menu had a great assortment of local and house-made dishes. I highly recommend treating yourself to a savory meal and sweeping views at Osteria alla Piazza.

Hidden gem in the hills of Chianti not to far from San Donato we came across this wonderful spot that if you weren’t paying attention you would pass right on by. We discovered it 8-9 years ago and we’ve been returning ever since, sometimes twice in a trip. Amazing view and a wonderful outdoor covered patio. This was the first place where I ordered Porcini mushrooms and the waiter brought out a platter of uncooked ones for me to pick from. Absolutely delicious as all of their dishes are. I especially like the pappardelle with the wild boar ragu. Be sure to try a bottle of the local Chianti - our favorite is the Quercia Al Poggio,

My wife booked a wine tasting here for her birthday while we were visiting from the US. Wonderful experience, friendly & accommodating staff, great food and wine. Our presenter was knowledgeable and courteous to our MANY questions. We'd highly recommend visiting here.

The food was good, especially the Cianghiale. However, portions are relatively small so be sure to order a side. Drinks are very fairly priced with a beer costing 3€ and a good bottle of wine only 18€!! While the beer was a little warm, the wine was awesome. The wine price alone is a reason to revisit. The service was a little slow but overall good. There is also a great view and a nice and cozy atmosphere. I can recommend this restaurant and would visit again!

Fantastic dining experience. It's easy for restaurants to get away with merely mediocre food and service in isolated/touristy regions, but osteria alla piazza transcended the tourist trap routine. It has beautiful views from both its outdoor patio and indoor dining room of the rolling tuscany hills before you. The staff was very friendly and prompt with water, wine and food service. The antipasti of aubergine flan with fresh truffles was delicious and smooth. Maybe a little heavy on the shaved truffles. The baked pear with pancetta was refreshing and also very tasty. Both were well portioned for a starter size. The primi of risotto with fresh asparagus and bacon was amongst the best dishes I've had in Italy. The asparagus was clearly fresh and well prepared, while the risotto itself was rich and hearty without being heavy. The paparadelle with wild boar was of typical Tuscan cuisine and well made. Pasta noodles were not soggy nor undercooked and the boar meat flavoured wonderfully. For the secondi we split a platter of deep fried meats and vegetables and it was well seasoned, not greasy but still crunchy with a wonderful mix of vegetables. The wine list was good and they had desserts that we were too full to sample. Price was extremely reasonable for the quality of the food, location and service.
