Cum Quibus

Cum Quibus is a Tuscan restaurant in the historic centre of San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage town, at Via San Martino 17: a few steps from Piazza Sant’Agostino and a short walk from Piazza della Cisterna and the towers. It is a traditional bistrot with a stone dining room, exposed brick walls, a handful of tables and low lights; in the warmer months meals move to the private courtyard, tucked between the old walls of the town.

The cooking is Tuscan, direct and recognisable: dishes you understand at the first bite, built on ingredients from the surrounding countryside. The signature dish is the Mezzovo®, on the menu since 2013: a soft egg yolk, Pienza pecorino foam and fresh truffle. Around it, the house classics: homemade pappardelle with Tuscan wild boar, ricotta and herb gnudi, Tuscan pork ribs “rosticciana”, grilled pigeon, brick-roasted guinea fowl and the Florentine T-bone steak cooked on lava stone; to finish, a tiramisù “properly done”. Finocchiona IGP, Lardo di Colonnata IGP, Tuscan kale, chestnuts and truffle appear on the menu in their seasons.

Guests can order à la carte or choose the five-course tasting menu, with an optional wine pairing. The wine list is shared with LINFA, the one-Michelin-star restaurant of the same group, fifty metres away: a wide selection of Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG, great Tuscan reds and Italian labels, curated by the group’s sommelier.

In the kitchen is chef Guido Pasquinucci, who likes to come to the tables and talk about his dishes; in the dining room, Lorenzo Di Paolantonio, patron of the group, with his team. The idea of hospitality is simple: make you feel at home from the first step, at the right pace for a dinner for two, a family celebration or a table of friends. Please mention allergies or intolerances when booking: the team knows how to look after you.

Open Thursday to Monday, for lunch (12:30-14:00) and dinner (19:30-21:15); closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Booking is free on mktn.it/cumquibus, with a real-time availability calendar, or by phone at +39 0577 943199. Gift cards are available online.

We look forward to welcoming you at Cum Quibus.
