"Inside the walls, but easily accessible from the car parks outside, a small treasure chest of elegance, with contemporary artwork on the walls, and congeniality. Here chef Giovanni Cerroni, with a lengthy experience in fine dining, offers two tasting menus: Mimesis with the great classics and A mano libera, where his talent is best expressed according to the client's tastes as well. For wines, one quietly relies on the expertise of Cesario Delle Donne. Finally, the choice of using books as centrepieces is very much appreciated: the one on Tuscan proverbs illustrated by Renato Bellabarba is not to be missed. In short, a well-rounded experience in one of Tuscany's tourism gems" - Michelin Inspector

This is the only Michelin one star restaurant in town. The service was meticulous. The food was very interesting and chef tried hard to provide unique dishes. We ordered all three main courses that night the pigeon the duck and the fish plus some starters. We loved the pigeon most.

We had the most wonderful evening at LINFA for our last night in San Gimignano. We went for the four course ‘pick and mix’ menu and the food was absolutely exceptional. Every course was beautifully presented and the flavours were perfectly balanced. The staff were fantastic - attentive, knowledgeable and very welcoming - explaining each course to us and even taking a photo of us to give to us at the end of the evening which we thought was a very thoughtful and unique touch. The restaurant itself is stunning - the design is beautiful and modern and colourful.

My husband and I stayed in San Gimignano for one night and decided to book a reservation at LINFA. Let me start off by saying the service was incredible! The two females and male sommelier waiting on our table are a 10/10! They’re so polite, helpful, and passionate. We had fresh flowers waiting for us at our table to celebrate a birthday. They were attentive throughout the entire evening and spaced the courses perfectly. They even all walked to the door when we left to send us off with a bag of cookies and the flowers from our table. The food overall was good- there are plenty of pasta and meat options and different course options to choose from. I’m sure many other guests have a better palate for the type of food served, we just found a few of the options to not be worth the money. The aesthetic of the restaurant is gorgeous. LINFA offers a cozy and chic vibe with all of the little touches you can think of. Lastly, it is extremely gracious of the restaurant to allow children inside to dine however I do believe this affected our overall experience negatively. By no means do I believe it is the restaurants fault as they handled the children with grace but the table next to us had two young children who were up and down constantly throughout the meal, were loud, and bumped into the staff at least 3 times thought out the evening. Unfortunately we found it distracting and were hoping for a more intimate fine dining experience.

Absolutely flawless. We had the 7 course degustation with wine pairings. Everything, the dishes, wines, service and sommelier were 1st class. I've been to quite a few Michelin starred restaurants and Linfa is right up there. Bravo 👏

Linfa is an artistic experience from the moment that you walk in. Bright colors & works of art surround you, which prepare you for the meal that you are about to have. The staff perform an impeccable waltz of service that makes you feel comfortable, but it is never fussy or snobby as high end restaurants can sometimes feel. If you come here, please get the full tasting menu with wine pairings, as the sommelier is such a gem and truly adds to the food. If I had to choose, I think the pine nut sauce with Meagre may have be a life changing dish, but the pigeon was also masterfully & intricately prepared with the filet & leg on the side. Thank you Linfa for a night I will never forget and I hope you get a second star soon!

Look, it's a Michelen star restaurant with Michelin star food. It's local, it's complex, it's cerebral, and it's also delicious (which, to be honest, sometimes fine dining forgets to be). But the real witchcraft here is performed by sommelier-magician Cesario. He's a storyteller extraordinaire with a passion for wine pairings that complete the taste of the food. Sometimes the wine is chosen to enhance flavors and sometimes for contrast. But every pairing is perfect. The food at Linfa is great. What elevates the experience to transcendent is the sommelier. Don't skip the wine pairing.

Spectacular, is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about this restaurant! The food experience is what this place is about. Who knew that so many flavor combinations were possible and delicious at the same time. Initially I wasn’t expecting much and the portions of food were small but in the end, there were so many dishes that I was completely full and almost had to be rolled out of the restaurant. There were so many complimentary dishes including for dessert. The decor of the restaurant is well done and very tasteful, even the facilities were very sharp and clean. Definitely recommend Linfa when in San Gimignano but be ready to pay for it because it wasn’t cheap but was a total food experience. Our compliments to the chef.
