Osteria Tronca - MASSA MARITTIMA

It was our last night in the amazing little town massa marittima, so we decided to go for a really nice dinner. we arrived at the restaurant and sat by a German lady who recognized from the beginning was very pushy....She always asked us if we were ready to order food, but we had not even seen the menu. when it was our last night, we were thrown out on a Euro bottle. the menu is only in Italian, so I asked them to arrange the ingredients on some just to a cliped description that was not clear. at the end I had no idea what I order her is a vendor of notiz so immediately dips into a saleplace for the most expensive starter. when we told her we would share bruschetta (as we had a snack with a drink at a local wine barely before), she pressed us into the order bruschetta dishes for each of us) that we did not really need. in any case the starter came and it was good. next was the pasta court that we ordered when we knew she would give us the big one! my hubby ordered a spaghetti court for the euro, but it was said that it was a sharing court and that he would rather have the court that was a little different did not make any sense at all, but because we thought he was going with her suggestion. I also changed what I wanted because she pushed me to another court with a higher price. when it was our last night, we didn't want to fight, so it just went with me. on the positive side I must say that eating was delicious wein superb, but the service really taken away from the meal. the pressure was for pudding, but until then we have told her we had enough on more wise than one..she is an absolute handful and I do not appreciate lying about a meal that is for the exchange if the menu does not indicate that at all. in any case eating is great, service not so much.

After walking around in the rain on a sunday we felt a bit hungry. This place has mostly good feedback, so we chose to have some lunch here. Inside it is a really fantastic place. Great setting, with original stone walls on two floors. Feels...a bit like in a cave wine celler (in the most positive way). Nice tables (with candels). Our dog was very welcome as well. The menu was fine and the prices fair. We had some Crostini for a starter and the Penne with cream, Speck and Cauliflower as well as big Ravioli with Sage Ricotta filling on a butter sauce. Solid food, the handmade Ravioli were really nice. Crostini quite average. Some pie for dessert....unfortunately way too sweet for our likings. So far the place was quite alright. But the female host from Germany was a bit overly pushy when it came about ordering food and wine (looks like we ordered too less: a starter, two mains, a dessert and two glasses of wine She was also quite talkative. I know many visitors might like that fact, but I love to enjoy a lunch quietly.....just me and my wife (and our snoring dog under the table). All in all the place was an ok option for lunch. But not a place we'd go back to.

We visited this place and built up a bit of expectation seeing the michelin stickers on the door. We were adults and kids. We were met with sceptisism and perceived the personnel a bit grumpy. We ordered antipasti, pasta and main course ..beef, boar). The food was just mediocre. There are other places with a lot better service and food.

Obsteria storica che ha recentemente cambiato gestione. servizio pronto e gentile, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e ottimo antipasto. abbiamo anche apprezzato i primi, a cui forse mancava un extra “verniciato” nel gusto, e dolci. Torneremo sicuramente.

Ottimo menu e prezzi in media, caratteristico locale.
