“Wonderful meal, amazing bistecca fiorentina”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

This restaurant is located in the Dolce Maria B and B, a wonderful place to stay in Cortona. Paola had recommended that we eat in the restaurant and we had a few reservations because we had planned to eat in one of the other restaurants in Cortona. But we saw the quaint and cozy dining room with its fireplace and decided to eat here instead, the one night we were there. We're so happy we trusted Paola and our instincts because she, her husband, and the restaurant staff gave us an unforgettable meal. The icing on the cake was when her husband (so sorry that I didn't catch his name) cooked my husband's steak on the fire and presented it at our table, while explaining the fine technique of preparing this awesome steak. The perfect end to our meal was Vin Santo and cantucci. The whole meal was a great experience. The family and staff work very hard to make the meal memorable.

“Wonderful cooking class”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

We spent an afternoon taking Paola's excellent personalized cooking class on classic Tuscan dishes. We learned to make five kinds of breads (focaccia, baguette, pizza, etc.), two types of pasta (ravioli and taglitelle), cantucci, and numerous antipasti. Of course, our meal comprised our own cooking - it was delicious even with our amateur input. Highly recommended.

“Best food during our 3 week stay in Italy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2011

I was looking for a cooking class while in Cortona. My hotel recommended Paola so we went to have dinner at her restaurant. We were seated in a lovely courtyard and enjoyed an amazing meal. The menu offers a variety of options, the service is great, and Paola is an amazing woman full of warmth and kindness. This is by far the best food in Cortona and the friendliest service. I did take a cooking class from Paola and it was one of the best memories of my trip. If you want an unforgettable meal eat here and don't forget to indulge in their wonderful deserts. I will definitely return on my next trip to Cortona.

Make a reservation because this place is excellent. The food and service was excellent. Of the two restaurants we ate at in Cortona this is where the locals ate. Our hosts at the BandB recommended Locanda.

“Excellent food,good presentation,personal friendly service,reasonably priced”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

Our dinner at La Locanda al Pozzo Antico was a culinary experience worth remembering and repeating. Our group of 15 people who where in Cortona for five days, all agreed that the dinner at L Locanda al Pozzo Antico was one of the highlights of our dining experience in Cortona. Signora Paola created for us a menu from the best of Tuscan cuisine, in addition to providing excellent wine recommendations. Each course was well prepared,the service was attentive and affable. We dined in the charming courtyard of the restaurant. Prior to the group dinner, my wife and I had dinner at the restaurant, here again we experienced a truly memorable meal. Excellent food,good presentation,personal friendly service,reasonably priced.
