We were lucky to get a table at the Osteria del Conte as we opted to eat outside and take a risk with the weather. The food was lovely, defintely the best that we'd had in Montepulciano. We had a relaxed Sunday lunch with great service. The set menu included the two plates shown in the photos along with half... More

The night I are here it was packed. I made reservation for around 9:20 PM, but still had to wait a bit. They offered me a great glass of wine while I waited. As a solo diner, I was impressed tht they had no problem accommodating me. The food and service was excellent. I had an antepasto and pasta with... More

We chose this restaurant because it was recommended both by our hotel and this site, however we were either very unlucky or the standard has dropped since the reviews. When we arrived we were told there would be a table ready for us in 5 minutes, we went for a stroll came back and were being ushered to the table... More

Very good little osteria recommended by locals. Overall, very good food, but seriously great pasta, especially the regional specialty called pici. Tastes like The kind of food that grandma used to make because... The grandma of the family makes the food!! Seriously, this little old, gray haired grandma cooks all of the food in the restaurant! Kind service, stellar pasta,... More

Osteria del Conte served as the place for our dinner the evening before our departure from Montepulciano, and my wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Reservations advised, it is quite small and must have a strong local reputation judging by the quick filling of tables even in the off-season. It has a family run atmosphere, though very attentive and professional,... More

We arrived for a late lunch, and were not disappointed. The pici pasta was excellent, cooked to perfection. The staff spoke great English, and were very tolerant of my attempts to speak Italian. The set menu was good value for money and the house wine was a perfect accompaniment. More

Ravioli in peccorini and tagliata for me, soup, salami, cheese (4 peccorino) for Lucy…excellent location on top of the town near the piazza. Friendly, very hard-working staff in a bustling small dining room. More

It doesn't get any better than Grandma cooking in the kitchen and the family members serving you your food. Absolutely delicious. More

Wow, where do I start?! We stayed in Montepulciano for a week in September, and this was by far our favorite restaurant! We're both real foodies, I do a lot of cooking and make fresh pasta, so I like to consider that I'm a good judge when it comes to Italian food. I can't fault this place! We ended up... More
