Osteria Il Pentolino - FIESOLE

Basic home-type Italian food with a pleasant waitress a good table wine. It filled up with mostly locals as the evening progressed did feel authentic. Note: the walk to get there from the Piazza Mino is along a road with narrow sidewalks. We had a sunset drink beforehand, out on a terrace with a fabulous view at the Casa del Populo a few doors down.

Ho celebrato il mio compleanno e è stato fantastico, il cibo era ottimo e anche la posizione. Lo consiglio a coloro che vogliono trascorrere una serata perfetta.

We stopped for a late lunch and were basically the only diners in there, much less tourists. There were a few locals at the bar. The food was excellent, I had a seafood pasta that was great. The manager was very friendly and helpful, even though it seems like there was a minimum of English spoken. Very comfy vibe. Keep in mind they are a good walk away from the main square, but when in Fiosole you need to walk around and see things anyway.

A lovely find. The owner is a character and exudes warmth. The first time we came her we brought our dog....the owner went around all the tables to ask if they were OK about allowing our dog in. However the food is sublime. On a Friday night it is full of locals....a tell all sign that you have found the place to eat in a beautiful town full of tourist traps. It serves fish which is a plus. I ate a wonderful seafood pasta.....considering this is my goto dish in Italy, and I must have eaten it hundreds of times, I would place it amongst my top ten...and I have chosen this dish in some of the best seaside restaurants in Tuscany. The decor is more bar than restaurant, but to me that makes the place more endearing. I don’t think you could go wrong.

You don’t go there for the decor but for the warm welcome! My wife and I and four friends tried this place last night and were not disappointed! Great Fritto Misto, Tuscan Steak and Spaghetti ala Vongole. Not the fastest service, but very friendly Mama Papa operation
