We dined at Ristorante Latini several times while vacationing in Certaldo. The service was professional and friendly. The food was... fantastic. We have never had such fresh and tasty Tuscan cuisine. One day I hope to make such amazing Farro soup! More

My wife and I came visited the Ristorante Latini at the recommendation of the chef who taught our cooking class. We came during lunch as asked for Chiara as the chef had advised. Chiara was super nice and welcoming, taking time to talk and get to know us at multiple points throughout our meal. She gave us the best service... More

I went for dinner to Latini with my husband and another couple on the recommendation of our host at our place of accommodation. We had been told that the food was good and no reservation was needed. We had only arrived in the San Gigminano area that day. We asked for the Chiara (sp?) as we had been advised to... More

I am sorry you didn't feel welcome. Reservations are always recomended. The restaurant opens at 7:30PM. We did seat you at our last available table, and having shown up at 7:00 it was only natural for us to have you wait until we opened. Again,I am sorry if you did not feel welcome, unfortunately, like you, many people no longer... More

Right, the location is not entirely great, but the friendly charming service and the extraordinary good food as well as the decent prices! We always go to the Latini restaurant for at least once during our holidays in Toscanny. It has been providing us for now more than 12 years with charming service and extremely high quality food and wines.... More

My husband and I spent a month in Tuscany exploring the entire region. The location of our lodging was close to Latini and we went there several times. Every time we went we were more impressed than the last time. We met the owner Chiara along with several staff members. Chiara took such good care of us we felt like... More

If you are looking for the best quality ingredients cooked with simplicity in the heart of the Tuscan countryside stop by the Hotel Latini between San Gimignano and Certaldo and ask Chiara what best from the kitchen that day. For me it was a fire-grilled filet of beef so tender a butter knife would have served. And with a side... More

We were warmly welcomed by (manager?) Chiara to this charming, family-owned restaurant (where rooms are also available). The food was delicious, Tuscan specialties in particular, the wine list is reasonable and service was impeccable. We would return without hesitation.. More

My husband and I ate here one evening in October and found it to be a delightful small restaurant. We were staying at a nearby inn and preferred this to going back into the town of San Gimignano. Proseco is served as a welcome drink. I ordered risotto with pumpkin and gorgonzola, husband ordered pigeon ragu with fried squash blossoms.... More

I ate at the wonderful restaurant twice, while in Italy in September 2008. The food is outstanding. HUGE portions, so you may want to share a few dishes. The Pici with Sausage and Kale was one of my favorite dishes. The beef was also fantastic. We also had potato ravioli topped with porcini. Oh my! Another great dish was the... More
