La Perla del Palazzo

What stood out at this excellent restaurant in the picturesque Radha in Chianti was the knowledgeable waiter who guided us to a perfect food and wine match.

Top quality food in the area with outstanding wine list. Very good experience. Only disappointing is the total absence of internet and even phone connection.

Everything we had was exceptional. Best food we had during our week in Chianti.Only downside was the man serving us was a bit distant when he first spoke to us but as the evening warmed up, the mood changed. Wanted to visit the restaurant again but unfortunately it was closed.

The ambience of the restaurant is lovely - tasteful and refined. The service was good, but just very confused. We got the second dish with the starter, which was quickly taken away. We then got the second dish, and then the secondi but for some reason they thought we ordered two dishes and not one to share.Besides the order confusion, the food was very good as was the wine the head waiter recommended. I’d still recommend you go if you’re in or near Radda.

This is an absolute must for discerning food lovers. The food was incredible, with a great attention to detail, whether it be the al dente perfectly balanced risotto, the meltingly tender beef cheek, moist salmon, light & delicious gnocchi & to finish the chocolate souflee with a thin crisp outside & molten centre, every dish was stunningly presented & so flavoursome. We were so impressed & as people who love to cook, we are great appreciators of the effort that goes into creating such beautiful food. Lovely surroundings, spotless & crisp linen tablecloths & napkins. Excellent friendly & attentive service too with good English & such great value. Faultless. Steven Lloyd 01/07/2023
