Last week was our family's first time experiencing autumnal Tuscan flavors at Osteria dell'ignorante. (Last year we discovered this amazing restaurant in the spring, and we returned there in the summer as well.) Each season we have been there, we have learned about local ingredients--spring and fall truffles, for example--and about wineries (including Tenuta della Luia) in the immediate area.... More

We have been eating at this restaurant from July to October 2011 and not once have we been disappointed with the cuisine, variety nor warm welcome of the Owner. Wine collections are excellent and reasonable priced. I met several other guests who have same comments and come from as far as USA. My family will go back to Osteria dell'ignorante... More

While looking for another place, which turned out to be closed, we happened across the Osteria dell'ignorante in the small town of Lucardo. It has a nice big terrace in front, as well as two interior rooms decorated in a nice trattoria style. I'm told it has a great view, but it was dark when we were there.We were served... More

As many others have said, Stefano, the owner, brings so much life and warmth to this restaurant, it would be hard not to enjoy our experience.

We were two couples who ate here as the nearby excellant Casa Chianti was fully booked. We were placed together with all the other tourists (Germans, Dutch, Americans, etc.) in a panorama room. The very few locals sat in the front room. The food is basic, some OK, some of poor quality. One of the pasta courses wasn't with ham,... More

I go often at the Osteria. The food is great and the beverage is even better!!! I strongly recommend this restaurant More

After a long day of touring the Cinque Terre, we ventured out for a quick snack. We were blown away by this restaurant - a magnificent setting, friendly staff, and one of the best meals we have had to date. The zucchini flowers were amazing, the pasta was fresh, the pizza crispy and thin crusted and the eggplant parm scrumptious.... More

A nice place with a beautiful view, delicious food very good quality. In the weekends you can order pizza's. The service is okay and Emilio (the owner) has a great sense of humor! More
