Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This morning, returning from a weekend in Umbria, we made a small detour to visit Lucignano, a small Tuscan village with characteristic alleys and many churches (the Misericordia one is very particular, explained very well by the Misericordia volunteer itself). After this interesting walk we stopped at this beautiful, very nice and welcoming gourmet restaurant. Our little dog was with us and was immediately welcomed with a nice bowl of fresh water. The service was impeccable... the girl who welcomed and served us was very kind and thoughtful, qualities that not everyone has. We opted for an appetizer with Tuscan cheeses and cured meats, pappardelle with white Chianina ragù, Chianina fillet with potatoes and finally tiramisu. All very good. Price appropriate for the food eaten Our Chuck really enjoyed the attention paid to him. Thanks again

As we were staying just outside of the village of Lucignano we were very keen to try a lot of the restaurants within the village. La Rocca was one that was very near the top of our list. The location of this restaurant is perfect, and we were seated up stairs out on the terrace on a lovely balmy Tuscan evening. We were the first to be seated in this area, and there was only one other table that joined us. We were served by a very unsmiling waitress - whose only purpose was to take our order. The meals, a small starter to share, then Pici and a Duck dish were only average, but we ate them. We would recommend this place for it’s location - average food - and totally disinterested staff. Even when we went downstairs to pay our bill, it all seemed a bit of an effort for them and we were left waiting until they were ready to serve us. Come on La Rocca, this is not the Italian way that we are used to.

This gourmet restaurant stands out in this myriad of gastronomic offerings in the historic center on the edge of the walls The location does not disappoint like all the proposals tasted The high quality of the raw material (meat) suggests that cooking like this is easy to do but in the dishes proposed the chef's culinary flair always enriches the scope and flavor of the ingredients The small differences with a starred one are largely balanced by the kindness and friendliness of the staff Compliments!!!!!

How does a restaurant in Italy FAIL at pasta? It was truly inedible - so we left it on our plates. Our service was terrific with a charming waitress, but the table beside us waited 20 minutes for service even tho the restaurant was NOT even half full. When we expressed our displeasure about the food to the older woman at the check out, she seemed totally unconcerned with the fact that we left hungry. Nor did she make any accommodation on the bill. Thank goodness for the ice cream man down the street!

We chose this restaurant for Christmas lunch and never thought we would have to eat in a place without heating. In addition to the annoying cold for all the tables that were present in the room against a menu xthat included three appetizers was brought only 1. Of the two main courses only one was brought and the side dish consisting of beans was actually a bean soup for which we had neither Spoons nor bowl to serve it the desserts provided in the menu were not brought. The polite but completely improvised staff called at the last minute did not know what the menu consisted of, with the result that one waiter brought an empty plate and the cutlery the other took away the empty plate and cutlery and then brought them back to us. At our complaints I was particularly offended by the owner who kept insisting that it was not possible to heat the room and that the heating was underfloor, I knew the place for decades as we are in the place and we know that no work was done there and the floor remained frozen throughout our stay. In the end we got the discount on the price for obvious non-respect for work but this was not enough to ruin our Christmas lunch and make me get bronchitis that I am still dragging today, January 6. I gave a star because you can't give Zero

We booked online and they responded immediately: the only positive thing about our experience! Once we arrived, they made us sit at the table on the panoramic terrace, next to us we had 2 tables with about twenty foreigners who were reading the menus. The waiters came and went from the terrace but didn't even pay us a glance, evidently the 2 tables of foreigners were more interesting to them than the 2 of us. 45 minutes passed. without anyone approaching our table: we tried to call someone but they blissfully ignored us and so we decided to leave. When I went to the cashier to pay for the only thing that arrived on the table (1 bottle of water), the lady (sounding like the owner or the owners' daughter) asked me if there was something wrong and I asked her to note in a kind tone that they had forgotten about us; she replied annoyed that the tables next to us had arrived first... I put a ball because you couldn't do less.

Beautiful historic setting, simple and refined. Lighting and furnishings cared for without being excessive. mise en place cared for and quality. Courteous and competent staff. Menu consisting of a few selected dishes, the quality of the raw material is excellent and out of the norm. Special mention to the appetizer of Chianina tartare and the first courses

Fantastic location. Welcoming g place with terrace, but if you wen't there to eat, be aware that all meat and side dishes were extremely salty. Chianini was done rare which would be ok if the meat was not chewy. Allergies are not marked on the menu in 2023. Staff is totally disinterested, tired, only speaks Italian...I would not recommend this place.

The restaurant looks nice and inviting, Appetizers were great. But the main cource…. Most of us took pork, which was a mistake. All too salty, so tryffel did not taste at all and most of us got meat that looked like it had been prepared a day before, stores in a fridge and warmed either in the grill or microwave. Even pieces of meat on one plate were totally different. I am a cook myself so I know when something is old and warmed. Maybe we just took wrong choice but most of us who took pork could not eat the dish.

The poor service was not corresponding to the very good food. Sorry to only give 2/5 but I rarely felt so unwelcome in a restaurant. The waitress did not take any notice of us and l did not even try to Communicate with us. Seemed to be very annoyed and was not smiling at all. No go Service!

Dinner tonight at La Rocca was excellent! The pasta with mushrooms and zucchini was delicious. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warming. Highly recommend!

We tried calling to make a reservation at La Rocca using the telephone number from their website and cross-checked it with the one given on Google. Unfortunately, the number was unavailable and there was no option to leave a message. Instead, we used the online reservation function to make a booking for nine people that evening, and 30 mins later we received an email confirming our reservation. When we turned up to the restaurant we were met with glares from the woman at the front desk. We explained that we had an online reservation, which we showed her, and she scoffed at us and told us there was no room. Her manner was rude and unwelcoming and she sent us on our way without so much as a smile. Luckily, the wonderful people at Lo Schicchero were very welcoming, and managed to find us a table later in the evening.

Better Tuscan food served efficiently and without fuss; unsure what the other reviewers are moaning about; perhaps the absence of obsequious fawning that our US, UK and Oceanian friends are so obsessed with in 2023; all they need to do is book the top-rated TripAdvisor restaurant in a particular locality and I am sure they will be happy. Meanwhile I enjoyed my innovative anchovy panzanella and non-soggy pici in a lovely vaulted dining room.
