Trattoria Da Pordo

In the over 15 years that we keep returning to Pordo when we're in the region, we anticipate our meal with eagerness each time. As noted by others, the range of choice is limited but we always find seasonal specialties that we appreciate. It's the closest we have ever experienced to home dining in a restaurant. Over the years Pordo has become an icon for us as one of our favorite restaurants in the world.

What a gem to find on a wonderful stroll during our trip through Tuscany! The proprietors served our group of 16 quickly efficiently. The fresh grilled peppers were a thing of beauty. So sweet to sit outside and take in the surrounding views.

We stumbled upon this restaurant for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint. From the excellent Tuscan food to the friendly service and peaceful, leafy outlook we were so glad we stopped. Mixed salad was simple but very fresh. The ravioli with burratina and pomodoro sauce was perfection. The tomatoes were the best we’ve had in Italy; sweet, rich and fresh. We also tried a tagliatelle with pork ragu which was delicious surprisingly light. We would absolutely recommend!!!

In a very small and quiet “borgo” in the heart of Chianti, this place, with a beautiful yard in the summer, offers a simple but very good cuisine, in which the fried meat and vegetables prevail, truly remarkable for quality and variety. A little secret of how to be able to fry small portions of food, after having dipped them in a very special batter. Small but good wine list, moderate prices, informal environment.

Before writing this review i had a quick look at Tripadvisor and was quite surprised at the bad reviews sometimes written about this place. Having eaten at several restaurants over the last 2 weeks I was pleasantly surprised by this low key place in a tiny location. There is nothing fancy about this restaurant plastic chairs tell the story, but I felt the food was very authentic and something a bit different. My wife had been here before and had the pork ribs, so we had those, but I had a special of spicy grilled chicken which was delicious and the equal best pasta of the trip in a simple tomato/ basil and cheese sauce. The dessert was also delicious and I had a half bottle of Tuscan wine which was also very nice. Coffee 1 euro (compared to 4.50 in some places! . All up, my family of 3 were fed very well for 79 euro. Really liked this place and would go back.
