As a traveler, I’ve never left a review on Google Maps, but I can't help writing a compliment on their hospitality. It is a restaurant with perfect foods and a more perfect mood. Seafood foiled pasta & fried seafood were really delicious. Everyone was kind to us, and they responded kindly to unexpected requests. Entirely, we had a wonderful time. If you want to eat seafood in Poggibonsi, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Very good food and service especially Matteo who is well educated and always serving customers with a smile on his face.

Our Airbnb host gave us a certificate for a multi-course dinner at Bocca d’Ersa. We found the staff welcoming, friendly, and professional. Dinner started with a selection of appetizers including a seafood salad, two carpaccios, a flan of baccalá and ricotta di bufala, pappa di mare, and fried cakes of fish and potato. It was some of the best fish (and, truly, some of the very best appetizers of any kind) we have ever tasted. It was followed by chitarrine pasta with pistachio pesto and clams, and paccheri with lobster and crab. Both were absolutely outstanding. Finally, a plate of roasted shrimp, followed by a choice of sweets (we had the wonderful lemon sorbet because we were getting quite full by this point). Dinner was accompanied by a bottle of 2016 “Il Poggio” Chianti Classico from a winery about a mile from the restaurant, but the wine list has quite a few other great wines at reasonable prices. This was a stunningly good meal in an unassuming restaurant in the heart of Tuscany. Our meal, without wine, was paid for by our certificate, but we would gladly pay the menu prices and more for the quality and quantity of food we had. I would absolutely recommend going out of your way to eat here. The specialty is seafood, and they do it very, very well. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing, the pre fixed menu for €45 is plenty with abundant portions which pleased everyone, the great wine menu and great choices for primo and deserts made experience perfect, the table set up is very welcoming, definitely recommend for friends and family and look forward to returning again

Good and generous fish based menu each and every dish is delicious and sell presented. Very good value for money. Recommended.

Great ambience, superb and past service. Great menus, highly recommended

Busy day and we had to wait for menus for 30 minutes Food was otherwise great but oysters were served without ice which led to them tipping over and there was no liquid left in them when they arrived to the table
