We had a lovely lunch at LaPorta today: cod wrapped in bacon over leek puree, artichoke and cheese, duck pasta (with their special delcious pasta), spinach and ricotta ravioli with black truffles, a nice salad, great red wine, and a rich chocolate cake for dessert. The view on the terrace is outstanding. They even called a taxi for us since... More

A perfect lunch: great seats in the terrace, fantastic food: delicate carpaccio, wheat grain risotto with artichoke cream, pici with garlic sausce(delicious) and a glass of a fine white wine and to finish with a strong espresso. Service was excellent, polite, not too fast, not too slow, attentive. Best place for lunch after a drive from Pienza. More

Here's what we ate: antipasti artichoke, tagliatelle with wild board, brown rice risotto with artichoke, lamb (two recipes in the same plate), turnips, duck in wine with onions, panforte. With a nice bottle of Orcia wine. We came out of the restaurant hazed and fuzzy from all the wine and food and could barely walk back to our B&B, 50... More

We'd been to La Porta three or four times in the past, but not in a few years. This time around, we found the food to be at a higher level than its already excellent quality. Maybe it was the sun, the wine, the company (our son and his girlfiend), the incomparable view of Val D'Orcia that made it all... More

Wonderful food, warm and friendly hostess, excellent view. More

Since many, many years we have visited La Porta. We know how Daria made a success out of the former family owned enoteca, and we have great respect for that. The food is allright, we found it a bit less than last times, the wines are undisputedly high level, the stunning view is unchanged, but......... Maybe the success is going... More

One of our fondest memories from our recent trip to Italy was the lunch we spent on the terrace of La Porta! The food was outstanding and the view is absolutely breathtaking, it brings tears to my eyes to think about being with my husband and 6 great friends leisurely enjoying a magnificent lunch here. The ravioli was out of... More

La Porta is located in the very picturesque and charming small hill town of Monticchiello, in the Val d'Orcia between Pienza and Montepulciano. As the name implies, it is right at the main gate into the town. My wife and friends and I have spent any number of happy hours here lingering over lunch or dinner on the terrace, with... More
