Ristorante La Terrazza at Villa Le Calvane

Found this restaurant from a Google search...the pictures and reviews were enticing. Arrived at the vineyard/hotel/restaurant impressed by the property and hospitality. Our party of 7 were given a private room which made for the start of a great evening. However, the food did not deliver on a few misses. One was the seasoning. Our group ordered 2 sets of few dishes and one plate was too salty while the second plate of the same dish was fine. The other miss was on the 2 kg Florentine steak. When asked the temperature of the cook, we said medium rare, however, it came out well done on the filet side and medium well on the sirloin side. Also gnocchi should be pillowy soft, however, what was served was gummy and chewy. The group asked for a lot of the food to go. The restaurant did give 2 bottles of wine from their winery when we left, which were delicious and an appreciated gift. Overall, a promising restaurant if their seasoning and cook can be improved to match their service and property.

We ate here for our last night in Italy and were not disappointed. the food was really good, although be warned, we ordered a steak cooked to the chef's recommendation of medium to medium rare and it was still VERY rare, so be sure to ask if you want it cooked more. They were completely accommodating when we asked for it to be cooker further. No judgement at all. Wine was great and the views were amazing.

We were staying at Villa Le Calvene already and decided to stay for La Terrazza, 100% worth it! The quality that goes into each dish here is fantastic. We split all these dishes so their portions are larger than what is shown in my photos. I had the best Beef Tartare i’ve ever had here and would’ve ordered more if i had room for it. The Risotto was also perfect, creamy and tasty and great for some Scarpetta. To end off the Fiorentian steak was outstanding, a great dish for 2 to split. The service here was overall fantastic, especially our waiter Leo! Because the Villa doubles as a winery, you can get a great selection of Wine for fair prices as well. Even if you’re not staying at the villa and are around Tuscany, give this place a try.

This place came highly recommended by a friend so drove 40 mins from Florence to get here. The grounds and the staff are lovely and the sunset (mostly hidden behind part of the hotel) is beautiful. The food was good but not as spectacular as I was told. Infact my pan fried cod was so salty I could barely finish it. The squid ink pasta was great but again on the salty side. The tiramisu was perfect though . Overall food was good but def would not make the trek for it from Florence again. There are better meals close by. Not sure if chef was having an off day but an average meal by Italian standards. The tiramisu and olive oil were incredible though. We bought a bottle of the oil and recommend you do if you come here.

Amazing service and view. Traditional Tuscan selections and wines, including home grown Le Calvane (try the Rose and Oltre Strada).

La Terrazza at Villa Le Calvane featured the most delicious Italian cuisine, in all my years of travelling throughout various parts of Italy. Breakfast on the terrace included a tasty buffet with Italian cheeses, cold cuts, pastries, fresh baked Italian bread and much more! I also enjoyed warm dishes such as the delicious scrambled eggs, omelettes, pancakes and bacon! My lunches were spent on the beautiful terrace or at the poolside, with an amazing Tuscan view of the rolling green vineyards! The scrumptious pasta bolognese and the tasty club sandwich, with a mix of veggies, meats and eggs, were my two favourite dishes! I also experienced dinner on the terrace overlooking the beautiful countryside and vineyards, while enjoying the Tuscan sunset! For dinner, the trio that blew me away featured the bruschetta, pasta carbonara and various flavours of gelato (pistachio was my favourite)! Nothing can prepare your taste buds for this culinary adventure!

Very good food, wine and service. Beautiful view too

Top notch. Great team of people ready to please you.
