We sat down just after a table of 15 was seated. We expected a long delay for our meal, but it arrived in a timely manner. The steak was cooked to perfection as was the rest of the meal. The meal prices were very reasonable priced. The wine selection was good, though priced slightly higher than other places. Don't let that stop you from dining here. Our meal was one of the best we had while visiting the area.

Pestello is locate in the country N. of Castellina in Chianti. Beautiful traditional setting in a wooded area along the roadside. Mostly locals dining with some travellers. Seemed to have a focus on beef and game dishes. We had steak and veal. both were cooked to perfection. The host is extremely personable and interacted with all of the tables. A fun, happy place to be. Great wine list as all restaurants in this area have. We would go again.

The place was really beautiful and the food delicious!! There was only one waiter for the whole place so it took a bit longer to eat but that is also the Italian way. I highly recommend you visit this restaurant while in Poggibonsi!!

Great experience. Very welcoming staff. Had a few good laughs with the waiter somewhere between Italian and English. Very dog-friendly. Great food, excellent meat cooked to perfection. Torta Della Nonna still warm from the oven.

We have been coming back to Pestello every year for over 10 years. Its traditional Tuscan fare served with humor, a smile and great service. The food is high quality and local. The Florentine Bistecca is the best. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

I have been returning to Pestello for many years and it never disappoints! The food is exceptional and the service friendly and fast. We even joked with our waiter about the fact that my husband arrived in crutches and forgot them when he left, so good was the dinner he felt instantly better!

Cozy and picturesque restaurant in the middle of the mountains of beautiful Castellina in Chianti, land of vineyards. Delicious food with its Tuscan touch and its specialty in meats

The Fiorentina Steak for which we came was flawless and tasted great! However, the side dishes, fried potatoes and vegetables, were undercooked and not on par with meat. Deserts were good and our waiter was very friendly and humorous. Overall pretty good.
