Bengodi Enoteca Ristorante

If you are anywhere near Castelnuovo Berardegna you must must must pay a visit to this restaurant! The menu is fixed with typical Tuscan dishes. They can make any of the pastas gluten free and have appetizers, entrees, and even desserts that will satisfy anyone and everyone! The owner speaks English and translates the whole menu for my family since we do not speak Italian. This place was so good we went back 3 times for dinner during our stay in Villa Arceno (highly recommend the villas in this winery as well)! The first night I had the risotto which the waiter brought out in a big round block of pecorino cheese and mixed up right on the table in front of me! my family had a variety of pasta and some of us shared the Florentine steak. The second night we went I got the pork leg and it was fabulous! I also had the mascarpone cream dessert! On the last night I had the pasta with truffle. The waiter hand grated the truffle right in front of me at the table!! I had the panna cotta for dessert and it was amazing! The owner had also bought me a loaf of gluten free bread because he knew I was coming back for a third time and he even gave my family a bottle of Chianti Classico as a gift! The workers here are fabulous and they really care for their customers. If I ever go back to Tuscany I will definitely make a trip to this special restaurant!
