La Filanda

We had an amazing cooking class with Chef Barbara, who is amazingly fun, talented, passionate about cooking great food and very patience, specially with my 7 year old kids. We all had an amazing morning learning about Tuscan cuisine and a superb meal afterwards. Thanks for creating such a special moment for our family.

What a wonderful experience: courteous workers and the chef owner made us feel special. Beautiful plates of delicious food in an inspiring setting.

We attended a cooking class one day and dinner the following night. Chef Barbara is an excellent teacher and her Michelin rated restaurant is among the very best in the Tuscan region. Don't miss an opportunity to dine with her!

High-quality Tuscan cuisine, freshly prepared and full of flavour. Excellent service and a cosy atmosphere - highly recommended!

What a great dining experience! Everyone was so pleasant and accommodating! The bread balls were fabulous and the snails were beyond delicious!! We shared the beef for two and ended up taking some home! Also, the view was spectacular ! We highly recommend this beautiful quaint restaurant!

Hands down the best restaurant in Manciano. Delicious meal, outstanding service and team lead by dynamic husband and wife team. Very enjoyable evening, thank you

Cooking Pasta with Chef Barbara was our favorite activity of our Italian trip!!

My sister and friends just enjoyed a most fantastic dining experience. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived and they customized from their menu a beautiful tasting experience. We enjoyed pate, pasta, soup, steak and dessert. Each taste was better than the previous enjoyed bite. Should our travels bring us back to Manciano, we will visit Barbara and Paolo first!

Such a beautiful experience with chef Barbara learning to make pasta and enjoying lunch. I highly recommend this educational, fun and one of a kind cooking class. Thank you lovely Barbara!!

Wonderful food served with enthusiasm. Great environment. Gelato is to die for. Nice remodeled granary with wonderful ambiance. Owner chef is wonderful. Had an epic meal.

We sat outside and it was quite nice. Even though the staff couldn't see us and we were the only ones outside, they did come by often enough to take care of us. Until the check. It happens often in Europe that you have to beg for the check, which we did twice here then we just got up to go to the front of the restaurant where we saw chef Barbara's husband who apparently has to hand write all checks. Silly. Guess he was tied up for a while? The food was good, I started with a tagliatellina with asparagus. Delicious and right-sized to allow for the larger main course. My wife had the involtini and liked it. I then had the duck three ways, and it was a bit disappointing overall. The duck prosciutto on arugula was good but the duck burger was a bit dry. Its sauce however made it taste good. The duck breast was overcooked and a bit dry also. The cod was tasty but had a fair amount of bones in it. We had a bottle of wine indigenous to the area, a ciliegiolo, which was nice.

Possibly the best dining experience from our two weeks in the area. The setting is modern and clean with a wonderful selection of wine. The staff was incredibly friendly and chef/owner Barbara paid special attention to us as English speakers. Most of the fare on the menu is emblematic of the region but executed at a very high level and with a distinctive flair. I had the slow cooked boar in red wine with olive oil mashed potatoes and was blown away by it. Just delicious. My wife had a vegetable strudel which was fresh, green and incredibly vibrant. The salume platter nearly killed us but I would do it all again. Highly recommend to anyone near Manciano in Tuscany just call ahead to make sure they're open. There doesn't seem to be much consistency in their hours.

Fantastic! Not only delicious but very unique twist on traditional Italian. This was at the end of our time of 10 day trip. Best atmosphere that we have come across. Great, friendly service ( even if you are American). Pici was great and eggplant appetizer - all great

We came here on New Year's Eve after reading rave reviews. I've never posted a negative comment but this wasn't what it's reputation presented. The waitress was "brought back" after a year and didn't realize they did not have a full bar. No problem, we are easy. But after sitting for an hour with no drinks or food, it wasn't a good start. The prix fixed menu that I ordered came out randomly, and duplicative. Waitress didn't even know what I was being served. Appetizers came out after the main course for my table mates. Some of the dishes were delicious but the uneven service and food delivery was unpleasant. Some of the food was lukewarm. . On the plus side, the ambiance of the room was spectacular and they gave us free champagne. The cheese tray was delicious when we received it - 2 hours later. I would come here again when it wasn't New Years and hopefully would get a better waitress. I think that was a lot of the problem. Barbara the chef was lovely

What a wonderful experience!! The food was exquisite and Chef Barbara was a fantastic hostess. The entire staff was very welcoming. Be sure to share your entrees and try a bit of everything. The design of the building is amazing as well. You will not be disappointed!

Our second time here interested past two days. We couldn't leave the beautiful place without one more time. Atmosphere cool chill, warm spa like.

Chef Barbara was very welcoming and staff was great. Food was excellent. My husband and I share three items and they were very accommodating, making sure to bring us an extra plate with each course. I highly recommend their red house wine. It's a local wine and very reasonably priced. You can charge the bill but you do have to tip in cash.

Excellent ambience in modern dining area. Wonderful service and outs ding meal. My family of four raved about food and plan to dine here again this week!!

Superb food, well-prepared with excellent, friendly service. I had stone-heated steak, which was a new experience for me. The stone was as hot as fire and stayed hot the whole time. Barbara speaks good English and came out to make sure we were satisfied. Her husband made a show of aerating the chianti he served us, and it was just right for our meal. I highly recommend this place.

Gourmet Italian!! Chef Barbara prepares all from scratch and it is fantastic. We had four dinners and each was cooked to perfection. Everything we wanted. The restaurant has a wine bar and s nice courtyard. Lots of seating but make z reservation
