Our favorite reviews from Riposto

Johanna S.

★ 4.5/5

"The combination of setting and food created something truly transcendent. Our hilltop villa, the Tuscan sunset, a warm breeze carrying the scent of rosemary, and course after course of incredible food. I have traveled extensively, and this ranks among my most treasured memories."

★ 5.0/5

"The execution here deserves special mention. Timing between courses was precise — never rushed, never too long. The homemade focaccia served warm with Taggiasca olive oil was a masterclass in simplicity. The lamb chops with rosemary and garlic were pink and perfectly rested. This is private dining done right."

★ 5.0/5

"After the meal, the chef sat with us briefly at our invitation and shared a grappa. That moment of connection — chef and guests sharing a drink — felt genuinely Italian and capped off the evening beautifully."
