Food was brilliant with fantastic flavour and presentation. After the cooking class we sat and ate our beautiful lunch accompanied by some full bodied lovely red wine.

I return every year with family and friends and I am never disappointment. The cooking school will give you ideas for "home cooked" Tuscan dishes. A true Tuscan experience. Don't miss it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about out experience at Torre Guelfa. Originally, 6 out of 10 of us took the lessons with Claudio and dines on our creations. We were so delighted that we returned with the other 4 travelers for a birthday celebration for my brother-in-law, and my husband and I returned 2 more times after that! The... More

We chanced upon this restaurant via tripadvisor and were blown away. The service was excellent and chef claudio personally took the time to explain the menu and recommend an order. The scampi and white cow pastas were excellent, and the duck breast was arguably the best meat we had in Italy. Chef's braised beef rib (his specialty) was also heavenly.... More

You are sat by the owner's pool on tables set out beautifully against the Tuscan landscape. You are greeted with Prosecco and stuffed courgette flowers. The chef talks you through the menu in detail and his wife takes you through the wines. It feels very personal and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant as it is... More

The food was great. Special hospitality. Very cosy location. We had Really a special evening. One negative aspect is the price which was extremely high: about 40 euro per person.

Each meal is lovingly prepared ... forget the menu, let Claudio choose for you! You will not be disappointed, but be sure to come hungry as you will leave quite full.
