LINFA Ristorante

A wonderful experience at LINFA! We stumbled upon the restaurant when exploring San Gimignano and were pleasantly surprised when they had a lunch time reservation. The food was incredible, staff were knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our Michelin star experience! The execution is in the details; from the edgy decor to the fine plated delicious dishes. Highly recommend.

Linfa was amazing, the food was outstanding, the pastas were incredible, service was on point and their recommendations were great. We had such a beautiful wine! Great tasting menu, and well designed portions. Amazing experience to enhance even more our time at San gimignano! Thank you so much, we’re so glad to have stopped here during our trip

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.

Highly recommend if you are in San Gimignano. The food was great and the staff were lovely!! Stand out dishes were beetroot with almond cream and caviar and the saffron spaghetti with bay leaves. Overall excellent, and will definitely be returning.

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.

Exceptional Michelin ☆ spot. Welcoming hostess, and EXCELLENT SOMM. Came by for a restaurant recon. Recommended items were spectacular. Vernaccia di San Gimignano was wonderful. High praise. See you again soon. 🥂🍷

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.

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!
