Estratto dalla Guida Michelin 2025: 

Nel cuore pulsante di San Gimignano, cucina moderna e creativa, la cui intrigante personalità non disdegna il gioco dei contrasti. Una proposta gastronomica inattesa tra le antiche mura di questa dimora storica, accompagnata da un'interessante selezione di Champagne.

During our trip, we decided to stop in San Gimignano — one of our favorite Italian towns. We parked in a different area than usual, and during our walk, we discovered San Martino 26, a charming restaurant that proudly holds a Michelin distinction. We decided to give it a try.

Our first surprise came when we learned that each guest must order at least two main courses. As vegetarians, this wasn’t the easiest requirement for us, but the waiter was exceptionally helpful and explained all the options with great care.

The second pleasant surprise came when the meal began: we were served a selection of five different starters, a bread course, the two mains we had ordered, and even dessert — all beautifully presented. Everything was delicious, and the service was impeccable. The chef personally came to our table to make sure we were happy with our meal, which was a lovely touch.

I also ordered a glass of white wine, which paired perfectly with the dishes.

The place, the food, and the service are all an easy 10 out of 10. San Martino 26 is highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality cuisine and authentic Tuscan hospitality.

Dinner tonight at San Martino 26 was amazing! We did the tasting menu and my husband added the wine pairing as well. I had two glasses of wine for the dinner. Throughout the 13 courses from the amuse bouche to the desserts, the creativity, flavors, uniqueness, presentation and deliciousness just wow’d us. I wish I could describe each course to a T, but there were many components to each dish, too many to remember. We spent 3 1/2 hours savoring each and every course. This intimate 8-table ristorante is Michelin rated, and I think it certainly deserves a star.
If you’re ever in San Gimignano, I highly recommend San Martino 26 in the historic center of town. The tasting menu will take you on a unique culinary journey, and you’ll enjoy the impeccable service which heightens the journey.
Thank you Ardit for the most amazing experience and hospitality!

We had dinner with my husband ordering 7 course vision menu. 3 hours for a dinner is a little bit too long but we loved the food. Specially the spaghetti with dove was heavenly rich creamy and tasty. All different bread and wonderful dessert are also really enjoyable. I think the chef is definitely try to make a one star Michelin. Very close after we tasted their food.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Before every meal, the owner gave a short introduction that made the experience even more insightful and memorable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the owner’s kindness and friendliness truly stood out, making us feel right at home. From start to finish, everything was excellent, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

While wandering through the charming streets of San Gimignano, I stumbled upon this restaurant and it turned out to be an absolute gem. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding.

Every dish felt carefully thought out, both in flavor and presentation. The ingredients were clearly fresh and local, with each plate highlighting authentic Tuscan traditions while still offering a refined touch. The appetizers were balanced and full of character, the pasta was perfectly cooked and deeply flavorful, and the main course was rich without being overwhelming. Even the dessert was memorable — the kind of sweet finish that leaves a lasting impression.

The service matched the quality of the food: attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they were serving. Combined with the cozy atmosphere and beautiful location, it created a dining experience that felt both special and welcoming.

I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting San Gimignano. Whether you’re a serious foodie or just looking for a truly memorable meal, this place is not to be missed.
