The food was just so good I went back on the same day to have the same dish: the tagiatelle al tartufo. I saw s horrible review mentioning that dish and can only imagine either the person was in very demanding or she went in a day something went wrong. Also, lots of comments about the service, which I found... More

This restaurant was on the main route in town with its entrance just off in a (downhill) alley. Look out for the grapes sign. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely fantastic, very tasty indeed. Even the house white was very good, best house white we had tasted so far in Italy. The price wasn't particularly... More

This was a recommendation form the hosts of our B&B and also one of the staff at a vineyard and it didn't disappoint, If you are looking to try local, traditional food in a quaint little restaurant with very friendly staff and a wine list to die for then this is the place! It was very reasonably priced too- whilst... More

My wife and I dined at Grappolo Blu a year ago, enjoyed our experience and returned this April with high expectations and the same results. The restaurant has an exhaustive wine list, the menu is Tuscan diverse and owner a cordial host. A great choice for diners in Montelcino

This little gem of a restaurant is in the centre of the town just off the main square. It serves great Tuscan food. We had wild boar stew and beef cheeks cooked in brunello both really nice dishes. Very extensive wine list with nice help from the owner to choose a great brunello wine to have with our food. Very... More

Second time eating here on 2 trips. Local speciality ribollita was great. Sauage & bean dish also great. Try the warm pecorino with honey.

This restaurant was recommended by our hotel. It was good, but not great compared to other places we ate at in the same town (especially Il grifo). We had a bruschetta, cinghiale con polenta and roast turkey. The food was good, can't really fault it, but compared to some of the other meals we had in the region, it wasn't... More

We had dinner at our visit to Tuscany late April. Main street was almost deserted, and not lite well. If you dont know the place, not have easy visibility in a narrow alley. The signage is clear. When we enter the restaurant, we saw that most tables were full which was a good sign ( regarding only few walking in... More

Maria Pia and her husband Luciano run this wonderful trattoria in Montalcino. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the Tuscan cuisine is outstanding. Great wine list, too. There are many great trattoria in Montalcino, but this is one of the best. Highly recommended.
