Osteria da Tronca

We had lunch at this beautiful restaurant on the first of January, and it was the best possible way to start the year. The food was absolutely delicious—local, high-quality, and truly outstanding. Every dish was a joy. The service was flawless, warm, and attentive, and the ambience was just perfect: cosy and rustic yet elegant. The music and lighting were spot on and made the whole experience even more special. We also really appreciated the thoughtful details, like essentials available in the toilets, which is always a lovely touch. There was a kids’ menu, and as three adults with a three-year-old, we felt genuinely welcomed and well looked after. We would 100% go back and highly recommend this place to everyone.

The whole experience was absolutely memorable. We had lunch as a family of a three years old and a friend. The ambient is very tuscanian. We very pleased with the service and the food was delicious. Unique revisitation of local and traditional food with a touch of modern cousine. Very much recommended.

Totally recommended. The staff was polite, friendly and ready to assist us . We ve ordered the pasta with the beef with wine and the caramelised onions, 10/10! Definitely we would like to go again !

Friendly people and attentive service. A bit hard to find off the main street but it’s cosy and comfortable when you are seated. Fresh truffles were offered (for our pasta) and we said yes please… although the hype is always a bit more than the reality. Knowledgeable about wine and some good choices offered by the glass, and a ‘crunchy’ tiramisu to finish. A welcome find in this beautiful and interesting small city.

I had lunch at Osteria da Tronca with my family yesterday. The food was amazing and the service great too. I highly recommend if you are ever in Massa Marittima !

Small menu, delicious pasta, great decor across two floors, dog and child friendly. Sides are well-portioned and very tasty (roasted veg and salad). Tiramisu served in a plant pot and has a crumble-like topping

We enjoyed a great meal at Osteria da Tromca at the recommendation of our hotel. They graciously fit us in for a late dinner, and we’re so glad they did! The carpaccio antipasti was excellent, especially with the addition of a light cheese and fresh raspberry reduction that was added to the top. The primi courses, the cinghiale pasta ragu and the rabbit ragu with lemon and olive, were both delightful and quite flavorful and light considering they were pasta dishes. Our secondi were likewise lovely, including more cinghiale, this time in the form of a cacciatore stew (lovely and rich) and lamb “in a net” (i.e. ground spiced lamb meatballs in a light sausage skin). What really stood out alongside the delicious food was the fantastic selection of local regional wines available by the glass. The wine list provided the perfect opportunity to sample wines from Massa Marittima and the surrounding area, including a wide selection of organic wines. We’d recommend putting this on your dining list while in town (but be aware, the charming brick and stone walls ensure there’s no cell signal or WiFi 😘)

This is the place to be. Authentic Tuscan dishes, but made special by the wonderful chef. Very friendly waitstaff helped us in English, translating the menu when needed. The ambience of this place is so warm, with seating on different levels, and tables in cozy corners. The ragù cinghiale is a definite recommend. As is the tiramisu with dark chocolate crumbs. Our favourite wine pairing with the food was the local Sangiovese from Giovanni Valentini (we even went to their wineshop for a wine tasting and to take a few bottles home). If you have only one night in Massa Marittima, eat here. If you have two nights here, eat here twice (as we did). You won't be disappointed!

After walking around in the rain on a sunday we felt a bit hungry. This place has mostly good feedback, so we chose to have some lunch here. Inside it is a really fantastic place. Great setting, with original stone walls on two floors. Feels a bit like in a cave / wine celler (in the most positive way). Nice tables (with candels). Our dog was very welcome as well. The menu was fine and the prices fair. We had some Crostini for a starter and the Penne with cream, Speck and Cauliflower as well as big Ravioli with Sage / Ricotta filling on a butter sauce. Solid food, the handmade Ravioli were really nice. Crostini quite average. Some pie for dessert....unfortunately way too sweet for our likings. So far the place was quite alright. But the female host from Germany was a bit overly pushy when it came about ordering food and wine (looks like we ordered too less: a starter, two mains, a dessert and two glasses of wine!). She was also quite talkative. I know many visitors might like that fact, but I love to enjoy a lunch quietly.....just me and my wife (and our snoring dog under the table). All in all the place was an ok option for lunch. But not a place we'd go back to.
