Ristorante da Pode

If you’re on your way to San Gimignano and looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend this restaurant. The location is excellent, with convenient parking right by the entrance, and the food is simply outstanding. This was, without a doubt, the best dining experience of my trip! Every dish was prepared with great care and at the highest level. The ravioli were perfect, the gnocchi was delicious, and the desserts were amazing. I’m sure the rest of the menu is just as fantastic. If you’re arriving in San Gimignano in the evening, don’t bother searching for a restaurant in town – you won’t find a better one than this!

The food at the restaurant is just outstanding. We had the wild boar pasta and the entrecote with truffle sauce and they were amazing. The wine is homemade by the owners and it's delicious. The desserts are really nice as well (and they go well together with the dessert wine). The waiters are kind and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really cozy.

Michelin recommended years after years and lives up to their acclaim. Delicious options of Tuscan classics and lovely service.

Delicious, high-quality, fresh food. We had beef tartare prepared for us on the spot. It was a fun and delicious experience.

I went to this restaurant because it was in the Michelin guide. I would NOT go there again. It did not meet my expectations. The following things: First of all the staff was fine, but not very outstanding or super nice compared to other places. They were in a hurry all the time. I arrived 5 min earlier than my reservation at 1900, the guy told me to wait outside ?? There was literally no one in the restaurant. The food is fine but not outstanding. 15 euros for simple Melon with parmaham.. crazy. I had the gnocchi with truffle but the truffle was from very bad quality and did not taste like real good truffle. (also 23 euros). Also had the tiramisu but was not the best i ever had. It was very basic. Also they put the airconditioning on 27 degrees?? It took the waiter about half an hour to notice that. Once noticed they put it back to 23 degrees. There are way better restaurants in Tuscany, especially for the price you pay. This restaurant is just very into tourists.

I was there last summer with my family and the service was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious. nice, cheerful and super professional. The toilets were clean and the atmosphere and view were absolutely magical. It was like being in a movie. I highly recommend the restaurant. Everyone must experience their food.

We came here back in 2021/2022 and we remember the good fiorentina! So this time we pass and we surely have to come again. 👍👍👍

We had 2 lunches here and everything was delicious so I can really recommend this restaurant :)
