What customers say?

“ visited this restaurant 1 year ago and I still think about the pasta I had here, that’s how unforgettable it was. I don’t remember the exact name of the dish (I’ll attach a photo), but it was so simple. just pasta with tomato sauce. and yet it was the best pasta I’ve ever eaten, even in all of Italy. Truly unforgettable. The service was excellent, the restaurant itself was beautiful, and the entire experience left such a strong impression on me that I’ll always remember it. I’ve noticed some of the negative reviews, and honestly, I don’t quite understand them. In Italy (especially in the summer) it’s common knowledge that you should book a reservation, or expect to wait.i booked my reso for the place a month in advance because i read it’s what you should do when travelling in Italy in the summer. That’s not the restaurant’s fault, that’s just how it works here. People can be very picky, but from my perspective this place delivered the best pasta I’ve ever had, with amazing service in a gorgeous setting. I’ll always recommend this restaurant..it’s one of the best dining experiences of my life. ”

“ Huge thank you to Pasquale and everyone at L’Antica Fonte for hosting our wedding reception in what is one of the most beautiful settings in Certaldo. We had a 45 person event held here and we have not stopped getting compliments about how amazing the food and service was. It was so good, that most of the family went back the following night to eat here again! We have also been to this restaurant a few times throughout this year ourselves, both as a couple and with family/friends, and every time is as perfect as the last. L’Antica Fonte is a dream choice if you’re after brilliant food, the best service and a gorgeous setting. ”

“ Great meal in a restaurant on the backside of Certaldo. Excellent service. A little cold on the night of our visit so we chose the cozy interior dining room. Menu was exceptional and offered a wide variety of regional Tuscany dishes and wines. ”
