San Gimignano restaurant with a view

Da Pode’s location

Da Pode is our San Gimignano restaurant with a view. It stands in the countryside, inside an old farmhouse that has been restored in keeping with its original architecture, so as not to lose its atmosphere. Enriched by the typical Tuscan landscape surrounding it, Da Pode offers a peaceful, evocative setting, ideal for enjoying both lunch and dinner, in every season of the year.

Dining surrounded by greenery

The setting preserves the rural soul of the past: exposed-beam ceilings and terracotta floors. In the warmer months, service moves to the terrace, with a view over the hills of Val d’Elsa, for a typical Tuscan dinner outdoors. This combination of landscape and tradition makes Da Pode a restaurant with a view unlike the usual city venues.

Farmhouse restaurant in San Gimignano

Just steps from the restaurant is Tenuta Sovestro, our family’s agriturismo, where you can extend your stay in the Tuscan countryside. The estate sits among the hills just minutes from the medieval historic center, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves cultivated directly by the family.

The estate offers original, spacious rooms, each with its own style, always in keeping with the countryside atmosphere. The rooms are spread across the property’s historic buildings, while outside a panoramic pool overlooks the hills. This is also where the wine and oil served in our restaurant’s dishes come from: from the vineyards, Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG and Chianti Colli Senesi, and from the olive trees, an extra-virgin olive oil obtained through cold pressing, unfiltered to preserve its aroma and character intact.

Hotel Sovestro restaurant

Da Pode Restaurant is also highly appreciated by guests staying at Hotel Sovestro, our hotel in San Gimignano just a few steps away. Both properties are located about 2 kilometers from the towers of San Gimignano, within a large pine park bordered by vineyards and olive trees. Guests love the rooms, which feature a private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and all the main comforts for a pleasant stay. The outdoor spaces include two pools to relax in after a day exploring the villages of Val d’Elsa.

For those who love walking, a scenic walk along a white gravel road leads to the center of San Gimignano in about 20-30 minutes. Da Pode Restaurant is located within the same complex as the hotel.

Piatti curati (alcuni iconici, come la tartare fatta al momento, imperdibile per gli amanti del genere), servizio attento e gentile, posto tranquillo con giardino. Vale il viaggio, ci torneremo!

I think some mixed reviews reflect different expectations. Da Pode has a Michelin "Bib" not a "Star". So, expect good food, local wine and friendly service. However, go somewhere else for fine dining and elegance - if that's what you want.

Il nostro è un ritorno, siamo già stati da Pode nel 2020 e nel 2023. È sempre un grande piacere. Prenotando con due settimane di anticipo siamo riusciti a richiedere ed avere un tavolo in terrazza in “prima fila” vista cipressi e colline toscane. Il cibo è sempre ottimo. Abbiamo preso i pici fatti a mano al sugo di cinghiale (meravigliosamente buoni) e la fiorentina (ottima!). Torneremo, come sempre.

Das Essen war genial, der Service schnell und freundlich. Wir haben beide Male draußen direkt am Hang gesessen, mit Blick auf die Landschaft. Im Vergleich zu anderen toskanischen Restaurants war es nur unwesentlich teurer. Da alles stimmte, haben wir den Preis gerne gezahlt.

Posto piacevole e accogliente. Servizio attento e gentile. Ottimi piatti. Consigliata la ribollita! E, potrà sembrare un piatto secondario, ma trovare una insalata mista davvero variegata nei gusti e nei colori, per me che sono vegetariana, è segno di grande cura in ogni particolare . Buono anche il rapporto qualità/ prezzo
