That was the first miracle.\r\n<h4>2nd miracle:</h4>\r\nBarbara explains “It took us another four years to obtain all the necessary planning consents and that was our second miracle.\"\r\n<h4>3rd miracle:</h4>\r\nWith all the EU regulations and the fact of being inside a highly prized UNESCO world heritage conservation area, being allowed to build a swimming pool was finally their third miracle. Then it took one more year to complete the building works. Barbara &amp; Sabrina believe that restoring the farmhouse was the dream they shared, because they always planned to set up a joint holiday business in Tuscany.', 'Villa Mia Pienza', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5607-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-02-03 19:08:15', '2019-02-03 08:08:15', '', 5607, 'https://tuscanhouse.com/5607-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

This is a stunning private farmhouse villa immersed in the exquisite countryside of Siena Province. Casa Meleto is close to the Chianti region, and also to the cities of Florence and Arezzo. This traditional home was built of local stone more than 200 years ago. Because the owners so meticulously restored it, the house retains the sensitive rustic ambience of the past. Interestingly, it belonged a few decades ago to Lea Massari, an Italian film actress of the 1960\'s.\r\n<h3>Casa Meleto details of Tuscany Villa</h3>\r\nCasa Meleto is superbly and comfortably furnished throughout with a mix of country style furniture. Original ingredients, such as exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, French windows and shutters are an integral part of the character of this farmhouse. Casa Meleto is set in almost 5 hectares (12 acres) of lush gardens. There are olive groves, vineyards and woodlands, so you can take long walks. The sparkling swimming pool (16 x 8 x 2.5m) and sun terrace are for the exclusive use and enjoyment of the guests.\r\n<h3>Interior of Villa in Siena Province</h3>\r\nExtensive and spacious accommodation is offered on two levels. On the ground floor is a complete kitchen with modern cooking facilities. Kitchen equipment includes fan forced oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A dining area has a rustic refectory table and it adjoins the kitchen. The spectacular large sitting room has a rather massive traditional fireplace (wood supplied). There\'s a round table, so you have a choice of dining areas. Finally, two smaller sitting areas offer comfortable leisure spaces for watching television, reading or playing games. There\'s also a full bathroom and efficient laundry with washing machine &amp; drier on this level for your convenience.\r\n<h3>4 Bedrooms upstairs at Casa Meleto</h3>\r\nUpstairs are four spacious, airy bedrooms; 3 with large double beds and one with two single beds. All beds are exceptionally comfortable and there are extra single beds available for children if required (2 max.). Two full bathrooms are on this level each with bathtub, shower, bidet and WC. You arrive at the house along 900 m of dirt track road.

The villa faces west across the fertile Orcia Valley towards the majestic Amiata Mountain. A woodland to the east shelters the villa and the surrounding well-tended gardens. This property includes several acres of vineyards and olive groves on a warm and private hillside.\r\n<h3>Panorama from Villa Manafiore Tuscany</h3>\r\nWe admire the spellbinding panorama from the villa and the pool looking over the varied landscape dotted by farms, villages and hill towns. The Orcia Valley and the town of Pienza are both UNESCO world heritage areas, while Pienza is also visible from the villa. Pienza has a unique renaissance town plan and a magnificent palace built for the Pope Pius II, who was born here. This town was his summer residence in the 1460\'s. The pretty hill town of Monticchiello is close to Manafiore, just 1 mile and a half away. Strong walls and towers are survivors of all the events during centuries. In this village are 3 restaurants and a cafe, also a small grocer, ATM and a few shops.\r\n<h3>5 Bedroom Interiors at Manafiore</h3>\r\nThe ground floor of Villa Manafiore wraps around a large L-shaped sitting room with working fire-place, sofas and arm chairs. The entrance hall has a guest powder-room toilet. The dining room is set with a table that seats up to ten people. A pergola-covered terrace is directly outside the dining room and has a table with seating and views down the valley. The fully equipped kitchen with a large pantry serve the villa well.

You have the convenience of a kitchenette for drinks, coffee and breakfast on the side of this living room. The 2 master bedrooms come with fireplaces, writing desks and dressing rooms. One even contains a sofa-bed. Both master bedrooms have a bathroom with a tub and separate walk-in shower. The 3rd bedroom has 2 wide single beds and a shower in the bathroom. The 4th bedroom on this upper floor is a double bedroom, also with a shower in the bathroom.\r\n<h3>Garden and Pool at Villa Manafiore Tuscany</h3>\r\nLarge slabs of stone pave the courtyard that is the home of numerous terra cotta pots with flowering and aromatic plants.

The swimming pool is 60 ft x 12 ft (18 x 4 meters) with seating ledge underwater. Chaise lounges line along the poolside and at the end of the pool is another pergola-covered dining area with a round table. You can also heat the pool water, but with extra cost.\r\n<h3>History of Villa Manafiore Tuscany</h3>\r\nThe origins of this structure go back to the 9th century; over a thousand year ago. Manafiore was built as a watch tower to overlook the pilgrim roads down the valley. This tower grew over the centuries with buildings added on, and still by the 1950\'s it probably housed several farming families. Then the building remained empty for a few decades.

The owner, who is a renowned Norwegian architect, had kept careful eye over the reconstruction just a couple of years ago.\r\n<h3>3 bedroom Villa in Tuscany</h3>\r\nThe original small farmhouse has cleverly connected with the adjacent barn and therefore makes a pleasing residence with interesting details. Villa Leccetino is a beautifully furnished and embellished vacation home with many unique artifacts. Seems like the owner hasn\'t  overlooked anything in creating such a pleasant setting. Due to all 3 bedrooms having their own en-suite bathrooms, this is a most desirable villa for 3 couples.\r\n<h3>Main Floor of Leccetino villa Tuscany</h3>\r\nThe main bedroom is on the arrival level, just next to the entrance, with a walk-in closet and large bathroom with shower. The <em>matrimonial</em> (between king and queen) size bed is positioned for a wonderful view towards the Orcia Valley. You also find the large and well equipped kitchen and dining area on this same level. These blend smoothly into the spacious living room with a sofa seating group. Consequently, all doors open out onto the wide terrace and the poolside garden.\r\n<h3>Outside the Villa</h3>\r\nThe terrace has a covered dining area with a large table and a group of arm chairs. Spend your evenings here cooking on the BBQ and dining <em>al fresco. </em>You will certainly enjoy the beautiful scenery from this terrace.  You can access both the terrace and the garden directly from the living area. Take a short stroll past the olive trees and a bank of lavenders to the poolside. Sun lounges, a shower and shade trees, are all there for your enjoyment on this sunny hillside. In addition, the pool itself has solar heating, should it be needed.\r\n<h3>Lower Level of the Villa</h3>\r\nTake steps down from the terrace to 2 separate and very private bedroom suites. Both have large closets and bathrooms with walk-in showers. One has a <em>matrimonial</em> size bed, while the other has twin beds that can also be made together. You have splendid views across the valley since both bedrooms open onto the lower garden terrace. A well equipped laundry room is also on this level, complete with washer and dryer. And finally, you find three bicycles in a small cellar; these are for the use of guests to explore the local villages.\r\n<h3>Amazing views of Pienza &amp; Montalcino</h3>\r\nYou will enjoy amazing views from this sizable terrace over the surrounding valleys out to Pienza and  Montalcino. And most of all, Monte Amita is in the distance forming the back drop. Closer by, the local village of Castelmuzio completes the panorama. Sounds of the distant church bells add a real touch of village life as it has been for centuries.\r\n<h3>Towns to Discover</h3>\r\nYou can see numerous charming villages and small cities because of the brilliant setting of this villa. You can discover Castelmuzio, Petroio, Montisi, Trequanda and Pienza in the close proximity of Leccetino. Just a bit further are Montalcino, Montepulciano, San Quirico d’Orcia, Buonconvento,  Asciano, Sinalunga and also, Siena. All are worth your visit since distances by car range only from 5 to 45 minutes.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Nearest Village: Castelmuzio 1 km</li>\r\n 	<li>Restaurant in Castelmuzio: <a href=\"https://tuscanhouse.com/camarlegno/\">Camarlegno</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Motorway A1, exit Val di Chiana: 15km</li>\r\n 	<li>Siena 60km, Arezzo 50km, Florence 110km</li>\r\n</ul>', 'Leccetino', 'Dine outside on the spectacular terrace above spellbinding countryside, and dip your foot into the private pool at this marvelous 3-bedroom villa just 1km walk from a medieval village.', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2818-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-02-06 13:23:22', '2019-02-06 02:23:22', '', 2818, 'https://tuscanhouse.com/2818-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

This region is famous all the way from Dante\'s writings (<em>Inferono</em>) to modern day movies, such as the Gladiator and the English Patient. You reach Arpicella by a 2 kilometer drive from Pienza on a sealed road. You drive past an ancient Romanesque church (Pieve di Corsignano) and then along a farm track lined with olive groves, hedges and stone walls.

Admire the panoramic landscaped gardens overlooking Florentine hills covered in olive groves and orchards.\r\n<h3>History of Villa Napoleone near Florence</h3>\r\nHistory dates this villa back to the 11th century and was first built as a Guard Tower, that\'s why we have the stunning panoramic position. Anna, the current owner, bought the property in 1988 and turned it into the comfortable and elegant family home it is today. Anna is a skilled interior designer and she has systematically renovated the interior while fully preserving the character of the building. She conserved many original antique pieces that now harmonize with modern design and contemporary taste. The famous Italian landscape gardener Pietro Porcinai created the villa\'s beautiful garden and surrounded it with olive groves and lemon trees.\r\n<h3>Villa Napoleone Description</h3>\r\nThe result is a sophisticated and welcoming home, true to its heritage. Villa Napoleone has rooms on two levels and spreads over about 500 sq. meters (approx. 5500 sq. feet), plus the outdoor areas. Therefore, this villa is perfect for family reunions and for entertaining friends. Also great for couples who want to treat themselves to a luxurious and romantic retreat. Villa Napoleone can accommodate up to 7 guests, in three bright double bedrooms and a further lovely single. There are 4 bathrooms: 2 luxurious en-suites and a separate full bathroom on first floor, while a delightful powder room is available on ground floor. All bedrooms and 3 of the 4 bathrooms are on the upper floor.\r\n<h3>Ground Floor of the Napoleone Residence</h3>\r\nOn the ground floor are the fully equipped kitchen, an elegant sun lit double living room with fireplace, utility room, and two dining rooms. The larger dining room features a fireplace and glass doors leading to a truly stunning terrace with unbelievable views. This terrace is the ideal place for sipping cocktails while enjoying the sunset.

The restaurants where you should make reservations are noted with *. During the summer call at least one day in advance for dinner (<em>cena</em>) reservations (<em>pre-notazione</em>). Kitchen is typically open for lunch from 12:30 to about 2:00 pm, for dinner: 7:30 - 9:30 pm, and later on weekends.\r\n\r\nIn restaurants, pizza is served at dinner only. During the day, buy pizza by the slice from the snack-bars in towns. House wine is always good. If you’re a couple, ask for <em>mezzo litro di rosso</em> = half a litre of red in a carafe, works out to 4 servings. But most restaurants only have bottled wines. Craft beer is available and is also made by small local breweries. No smoking inside, but at outside tables, please ask your waiter if okay to <em>fumare</em>, then ask for the <em>porta cenere</em> = the ashtray. Few restaurants still don\'t take credit cards so bring enough cash, just in case. <em>Buon appetito!</em>\r\n\r\nHere are few sentences in Italian to help you book a table:<em>   </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per la cena domani sera, due persone, il nome è Smith </em>= I would like to make a reservation for dinner tomorrow evening, 2 people, name is Smith.\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per il pranzo oggi, quatro persone, il nome è  Jones </em>= I would like to make a reservation for lunch today, 4 people, name is Jones.\r\n\r\n<em>Preferisco una tavola fuori</em> = I prefer a table outside, <em>dentro</em> = inside\r\n\r\n$ = moderate, $$ = mid-range, $$$ = costly\r\n<h2>Acquaviva di Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante l\'Angolo</strong>, serves classic Tuscan cuisine in a pleasant restaurant with good service. Go for lunch while touring the Vino Nobile vineyards. They now have 2 sides to this place, the established restaurant and at the adjacent refurbished room is a modern fusion style new restaurant. Have a look at the different menus, share an antipasto plate, and taste the home made long pasta called \"pici\". The bottle of high quality/low price red wine from a local canteen was served with passion for hospitality by the owner. Closed Mondays. Via Via Galileo Galilei 18, 53045 Acquaviva di Montepulciano, behind the main church, 3 blocks from the main street, center of town (our last visit was years ago, but I hear it\'s still excellent). (+39) 0578-767-216. ($$)*\r\n<h2>Amiata mountain, village of Pescina</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Silene</strong>, fine dining at Mt Amiata, well worth a detour to this famous restaurant and country Inn. Refined cooking and local specialties (truffles, mushrooms, game), also vegetarian selection. Enjoy delicious hand-made pasta and the baked chocolate desert. Extensive wine list, professional staff, well furnished dining room. Closed Mondays &amp; during November. At cross-roads, center of village, short drive from Seggiano. 0564-950-805. ($$)*\r\n<h2>Asciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Locanda Amordivino</strong>, dine at the best restaurant in town, very nicely done large outdoor area in the back where you can see the chef grill steaks at a huge BBQ. Excellent pasta as well, also good starters, so we eat well here. Last visit in June 2018.

Il Loggiato more of a wine-bar and a tavern, than a restaurant, so you don\'t have to follow any rules of formal dining. In summer the best tables are outside shaded by big umbrellas, while in the winter the inside bar and dining area are downstairs. There you\'ll find 2 dining rooms with rustic brick walls and cozy atmosphere. Very informal menu of bruschettas, cheese plates and other light meals and snacks, but also soups and meat dishes at reasonable prices. Newly opened next to the famous open pool, and just below the bookstore drawing in a younger crowd. Attentive service by the owners, one is a sommelier and the other is a proper cook. Open for lunch and dinner, closed Thursdays. Tel 0577-888-973. www.illoggiato.com ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria La Parata</strong>, <strong>Osteria del Leone</strong>, and <strong>La Terrazza</strong> have all been there for many years and are well known restaurants. Usually you can get a table even during the summer. But on holiday weekends they get very busy and both service and food quality suffer. We\'ve had many good meals and many bad ones too. This is a tourist hot-spot where the food scene is constantly changing and also the staff and management have high turnover. There are also 3 cafes along the main walk serving snacks and light meals, so you have more choice.\r\n<h2>Bettolle</h2>\r\n1 km from the Val di Chiana A1 exit:\r\n<strong>Betulia</strong>, classic Tuscan cooking, standard pastas and grilled meats. Closed Saturdays. Established small restaurant with constantly good meals. Via Vittorio Veneto 21, just inside the town from intersection to Sinalunga. Tel: 0577-624-131.($)\r\n<h2>Buonconvento</h2>\r\n<strong>La Via di Mezzo</strong>, is now closed.\r\n<h2>Castelmuzio</h2>\r\n<strong>Camarlegno</strong>, is a very good trattoria on the central piazza of the village. Serves the local menu at reasonable prices, see all the specials for this summer. Many tables on the piazza and more in a charming dining room upstairs, walk past the bar and the B&amp;B reception desk to get there. The roof-top of the tower has a spectacular open dining area seating 4 to 12 people, (if you can climb up the steps!) special booking for groups. Last visited May 2018. Closed Mondays. 0577-665-373. ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Trattoria della Filiera</strong>, is a new eatery in town, located under the large parking area facing Montisi in a light and bright building with an entire wall of arches filled with windows. The charming Daniella runs the dining room while her brother is the chef, cooking traditional items such as the excellent lasagne I had, and also familiar treats for tourists, like hamburgers. This is a great place for groups, because there\'s a lot of space indoors, plus 2 long picnic tables with umbrellas outside. It may not be fancy, but a very welcoming and relaxed place to have a good meal.

($)\r\n<h2>Castiglion d\'Orcia</h2>\r\n8 km up from town, well worth the scenic drive, you arrive at <strong>Ristorante I Lecci</strong>. Currently (May 2018) the best value (quality/price) restaurant in the Orcia Valley and Amiata areas of southern Tuscany. You reach sublime heights of culinary nirvana with Chef Rita’s fresh melt-in-your-mouth pasta with delicious sauce of truffle-walnut cream or porcini mushrooms, to-die-for! Tortelli can be had with the best ragu. My choice is the little <em>gnocchetti verdi al gorgonzola</em>. In warm weather we have leisurely lunches under shade on the wide panoramic terrace with platters of antipasti, and in the late fall dinners by the fireplace inside the well furnished large restaurant. Game is also on the menu, and their tender steaks of Chianina beef are cooked over hot coals, but leave some room for dessert too (sharing is okay). Your charming host, Andrea, takes good care of you while Rita is an amazing chef. The prices are lower than one would expect and the atmosphere is most welcoming.\r\n\r\nFrom Pienza in the Orcia valley take the route SS2, the Via Cassia, just south of Bango Vignoni, drive up to Castiglion d’Orcia and keeping to the main road, drive past town and continue another 4 km along route SS323, at fork turn left toward Vivo d’Orcia (route SP18). Take this road driving thru the forest and in 4 km you see on your right a 2-story roadhouse with a large parking area.

Charming staff serve delicious local food and the classics, so it\'s sure to please. Last visit August 2017. Open every day, look for the signs, on a hilltop next to town ($$). 0578-53748.\r\n\r\n<strong>Trattoria La Pace</strong>, good home-style cooking (mamma in the kitchen), enjoy excellent hand-made \"pici\" at this friendly family restaurant. Besides the pici and the meats cooked “ai buglione”, the menu also offers specialties like tagliolini all’ortica (= ribbon pasta with nettle sauce), spinach and ricotta ravioli and pasta with wild boar ragu. Everything is home made from traditional recipes of grandma Amelia. is Lucia the cook, with Moreno, the husband, serving the food. Open every day during summer, closed Thursdays rest of the year.

Osteria Vecchia is now simply known as \"da Nilo\" (at Nilo\'s), after the owner himself. This is still the same beloved local favorite. Menu has fresh seasonal and regional dishes, superb homemade pastas, delicious food and great value for money. We last had lunch there in June 2016, the ravioli and the lamb chops just delicious, and the pici aglione had the more intense garlic flavor that I crave for! Closed Tuesdays in low season only. Seating outside on the terrace to the right of the main entry (best place for views over the piazza), and more tables al fresco around at the back of the restaurant. Inside is a classy dining room. Highly recommended restaurant, can get very busy so reservation is a must especially for the terrace in the summer evenings. Tel: 0578-239-040 www.iltigliodipiazza.it/ristorante-da-nilo.aspx  ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Merlo</strong>, is a superb restaurant and serious competition to the above Osteria da Nilo. It opened just 2 years ago, and has already carved out a reputation amongst the Italian foodies. Located at the south-east corner of Piazza Garibaldi, just dozen steps to the left from Nilo\'s and around the corner from the cafe, you see a large stone tower with covered outdoor seating at the front deck, and inside you take a few steps down to a spacious high vaulted dining room at the base of the tower. A/c inside was welcome for our first lunch there in the hot days of August 2015. Professional waiters offer smooth service and excellent wine list (also by the glass), but the star here is the Chef Elisa in the kitchen! She beautifully prepared seasonal foods with sublime flavors, everything we had was delicious. Can\'t wait to go back! Closed Mondays. Via Sobborgo, 1, Cetona.

Gary and I have come here for many memorable lunches. It\'s rare to have excellent seafood this far inland, so this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should get every seafood lover\'s attention. The shellfish was superb, featured firstly on the antipasto platter that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course which was perhaps a bit too much food at lunch, but could not resist tasting their grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platters, to further explore the menu. House white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffees came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. Service was friendly and efficient, menu has English translation, the setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms. There\'s parking up front and down the side street. Located at a roadside hamlet just north of Camucia see signs on the main road, the SS 71. www.cantanapoli.net Loc. Le Piagge, 33/A – Camucia di Cortona (AR), tel: 0575-62996.

Now I\'m talking about hospitality. Our recent meal (August 2017)  in Chiusi was in the center of the old town, at Osteria Etrusca. Hospitality here is like magic; the charm, warmth and kindness of the owners, father and daughter, is beyond comparison. They both speak English. We sat at a covered outside table watching the street scene at the end of the day, and agreed that this is why we love Italy! The food is classic local fare, our group of 6 ordered pizzas, pastas, steak and salads ... all delicious and very affordably priced. Here you\'re not just a tourist.

Bring everyone with you, this is a great place for kids, too! 4 people can eat for 50 euros total, and the pizza is superb. I often \'splurge\' and order the Antipasto Goloso and the Pizza Pazza. The mixed grill of pork is also good, as are the pastas for those who are tired of pizza already. The charming ladies, Giovanna and Adriana, will look after you! I want to give you a tip, hold onto your fork and knife, you don\'t get new ones for every dish at these prices! Order wine by the half liter or the full liter carafe and try the new artisan beers .... pizza is still tastes best with a beer. The covered terrace has panoramic views over Siena Province and you see the huge Monte Oliveto Abbey illuminated down the valley in the evenings. During the summer you need to call (+39) 0577 707103 for reservations on the splendid terrace. Plenty of easy parking along the road.  By the way, I live in this village. Via delle Piazze, 3, Chiusure , 53041 Asciano SI ($)* .\r\n\r\n<strong>Locanda il Paradiso </strong>(on Facebook, Google) has been here in Chiusure for decades (10 km to Asciano and Buonconvento). It\'s located on the edge of the village and offers a simple menu of summertime food with cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Nothing is over 8 euros . Locanda il Paradiso has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view down to the Monte Oliveto abbey. This humble local cafe has become a favorite place of bicycle groups and motorbike tours, so be sure to call ahead to make a reservation during the summer.

For the fabulous tasting menus of 6 or more small courses, expect to pay over 100 euros per person, and you can also order a\' la carte. Excellent wine list. Stop here when driving to San Gimignano or Volterra. Food is elevated to a fine art, service is professional, dining room is comfortable and smart casual dressing would be appropriate. Closed every Tuesday and Wednesday. Via XX Settembre 50, center of the upper old town. 0577-920-549 www.arnolfo.com/ ($$$)*\r\n<h2>La Foce</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Dopolavoro</strong> re-opened at La Foce a few years ago, and now it\'s a spacious open barn-like restaurant and a recommended stop while touring the Val d’Orcia region. Come here for delicious food in a relaxing outdoor or indoor setting, with friendly service and English spoken. They are open all day and the location is next to the famous Origo villa and gardens, making this the perfect place for lunch before taking the guided garden tour at La Foce on the weekends and Wednesday afternoons; the tours start at 3, 4, 5 and 6 pm.\r\n\r\nLast time we had a group of 6 for lunch here in June of 2017. We opted for a lighter meal and shared several plates of different cold cuts, cheeses and salads. Their menu offers the usual Tuscan fare with many good starters and pastas, while the mains include stews, kebabs, BBQ ribs and steaks. Here\'s a nice surprise, they also offer a juicy hamburger and fries, with mayo and ketchup!! This hamburger is what we\'d expect in the English speaking world, with a beef patty inside a bun plus extras like bacon &amp; cheese.  You should keep this in mind, as many restaurants have a \"hamburger\" on the menu, but it\'s only a plain ground up steak, no bun or anything else, and barely cooked, more like a steak tartar. Get your real burger here, Dopolavoro has got it right! Strada della Vittoria, 90, La Foce (SI) – Tel: 0578-754-025 www.dopolavorolafoce.it\r\n<h2>Lucignano d\'Arbia</h2>\r\n<strong>Valserena</strong> is a local trattoria halfway between Siena and Buonconvento at Lucignano d\'Arbia. Valserena is a neighborhood restaurant with a basic traditional menu, but it\'s definitely the best simple eatery in this valley and visited by the locals for their grilled meats. Great atmosphere, loud conversations, and everybody seems to know everybody. Come here for a good evening with absolutely authentic and really inexpensive food, drinkable house wine, and very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We have feasted on their delicious spare ribs and gnocchi with pesto. Pizza is also cooked in the evenings. Don\'t miss this experience! Open for lunch and dinner, closed on Wednesdays. The restaurant is perched on a hill west of the Via Cassia, about 9 km north from Buonconvento, and 1 km south of Lucignano d\'Arbia. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Cassia Sud, 2858</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53014, Monteroni d\'Arbia.

Set inside the town walls, this is an eatery of high quality, both in food and service. The menu created by Chef Susanna is loaded with seasonal food, including, a surprisingly large selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes! I love the marvelous mixed antipasto platter of tasty treats. From the street the restaurant looks small, but expands side, and in fine weather, ask to be seated out the back on the veranda, as the view across the Tuscan countryside is wonderful. On main street of old town at: Via Matteotti, 90, 52046 Lucignano. 0575.836707 ($$)*\r\n<h2>Montalcino</h2>\r\n<strong>Taverna del Grappolo Blu</strong>, our last visit back in 2008 was a pleasure, and I hear that it’s still serving rich and tasty home made pastas on pretty plates, excellent guinea foul, half-bottles of house red at great value. Warm and cozy interior in rustic building, friendly service, English spoken. Located right off the main street (Via Mazzini) near town-hall piazza, a few steps down the side alley Scala di Moglio, look for the signs. Open every day. 0577-847-150 ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Boccon di Vino</strong> and <strong>Taverna dei Barbi</strong> are 2 well known restaurants, but we stay away, so please let me know if you go and how it was!\r\n<h2>Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey</h2>\r\n<strong>R</strong><strong>istorante San Valentino</strong> is part of the Piccolo Hotel San Valentino just 2 miles from the Abbey towards Buonconvento. From the road you drive up and around the back for parking. There\'s a covered terrace that\'s good for lunch, and inside a large dining room but step thru to the wide open garden patio for dining outside in the warm season. The cook\'s name is Gigliola and she\'s a pro in preparing the classic Tuscan menu with a very nice touch. In the summer you should try her panzanella and burrata ravioli, with good local wines and of course always ask about the specials! It\'s very romantic there on the patio and garden at sunset! Address: SP451, 53041 San Valentino, Asciano SI, Italy, (<a class=\"fl r-iv_1cnswcDxc\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" data-number=\"+390577707153\" data-rtid=\"iv_1cnswcDxc\" data-ved=\"0CJ0BEJAIKAEwDw\">+39) 0577 707153</a> ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante La Torre</strong> at the Abbey serves good food outside on the large covered terrace, but is often busy with tour groups. Closed Tuesdays. Enjoy lunch on the terrace when visiting the famous abbey. 0577-707-022. ($$)*\r\n\r\nUp 1 km from the abbey in <strong>Chiusure</strong> is an excellent pizzeria <strong>Ristorante La Terrazza</strong> serving classic meals on the north side of the village with panoramic views. The <strong>Osteria il Paradiso</strong>   inside the village offers a classic simple menu of summertime food of cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Paradiso also has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view to the abbey.\r\n<h2>Montefollonico</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Pizzaria il Botteghino</strong> is an established road-house restaurant and pizzeria in Tuscany on the way from Torrita to Pienza, near the town of Montefollonico. Their good and simple cooking is very popular with the locals and delivery truck drivers. This is one of our favorite Tuscan “truck-stops”. We recently had dinner there and it was again superb. For starters, try the marinated anchovy fillets and warm crostini, they can easily be shared. For the pasta course I had the surprisingly light and small gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, heavenly! This large restaurant is the best place in the area for grilled juicy pork ribs and sausages. They also serve pizza that looked good, but we haven\'t tasted it yet. The helpful waiters speak some English. Large covered outdoor dining areas. Closed on Tuesdays. Last visit August 2018. Located along the SP15 at a fork in the road. Address: 25, Loc. Osteria Delle Noci - 53049 Torrita di Siena (SI). 0577-668-031. ($)\r\n\r\n<strong>La Chiusa</strong> is<strong> </strong>another famous restaurant we stay away from. Go instead to La Grotta or Locanda dell\'Amorosa or Mondo X La Frateria for good fine dining in this region.\r\n<h2>Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Osteria Acquacheta</strong> is a special place among the many good places to eat in Montepulciano. Prices are low for such tasty food, like 6 euros for a plate of fresh pasta al ragu. Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval before cooking it on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen. They have very decent local wine, but also courage you to bring your own special bottle. They will charge 1.5 euros per person as corkage. They serve wine in simple glasses. This is a long and narrow space crammed with tables and chairs and sometimes you share a long communal table and be served some of the best local food.\r\n\r\nPici and several other pastas and soup are made with pure homespun goodness, all local stuff. The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains, and would be a meat-lover\'s dream come true (shared with 2 or more people). Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables. Giulio, the owner is a famously grumpy-looking guy, but has a sense of humor and speaks English. Some customers don’t get it, so their reviews can be mixed. Take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget. Closed on Tuesdays and 3 months in winter. Our last visit August 2017. Just down from Piazza Grande, past Teatro Poliziano. Via del Teatro, 22 - 53045 Montepulciano (SI), Tel:+39 0578 717086,  Fax:+39 0578 717086, call or fax, no bookings by email.\r\n\r\n<strong>La Grotta</strong> is a gem, you should definitely come here for fine dining in <em>Montepulciano</em>.  This is the most pleasant restaurant with excellent cooking and courteous professional service. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the splendid Vino Nobile wines with your lunch or dinner. Seasonal ingredients feature truffles, porcini mushrooms, and game. We like them for their delicate hand made pasta and the chef who cooks the best rack of lamb for the main course. Delicious deserts, too. Some people think this is too posh or costly, but we find it very comfortable and perhaps only little higher than prices at your usually trattoria. And the quality of food at <em>La Grotta</em> is superb making this an excellent choice for a special meal. I recommend the 6 course tasting menu at only 53 euros, with 2 people minimum order.\r\n\r\nThe 2 vaulted dining rooms are spacious and tables are placed far apart to allow for easy movement and privacy. They also have outside dining in a lovely garden setting, recently expanded. This can be a wonderfully romantic place in the evenings with candle light. Be sure to make a reservation for the outside tables. Easy parking in front. Last visit in May 2017. Closed on Wednesdays. Next to the <em>San Biagio</em> church that was designed by <em>Sangallo</em>, below the town on the west side.

Ask for a table on the terrace with panoramic views. Last visit in July 2018. Closed on Thursdays. Small restaurant, best to make a reservations. English spoken by Daria, the wonderful owner. Located at the town gate. 0578-755-163. www.osterialaporta.it/osteria.en.php ($$)*\r\n<h2>Palazzone</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante il Pozzo</strong>, has been a good local restaurant over the years, but changes hands often and is open during the warm months only. If you are renting a villa in the area, look this up first, but if closed, you can walk to the pizzeria down the road for a simple meal.\r\n<h2>Piazze</h2>\r\n<strong>La Bottega delle Nane</strong>, excellent cooking and we like it. Some of the best food in the area, lots of daily and seasonal specials. Two problems are (1) no written menu for the daily specials - they tell you what\'s available, the waiter speaks some English. (2) No house wines by the glass, only full bottles – but the local Monte Cetona area wines are not expensive. Closed Thursdays. Via Provinciale 187, town center. Tel: 0578-244-295. ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante - Pizzeria La Vigna</strong>, good local cooking, outdoor seating in the back. Run by a charming elderly couple, a traditional place where you\'ll eat very well. Fresh fish Thursdays and Fridays. Closed Wednesdays. Via Provinciale 163, center of town. Tel: 0578-244-007. ($)\r\n<h2>Pienza</h2>\r\n<strong>Latte di Luna</strong>, excellent local cooking, our favorite place to eat the best homemade pici (= hand-rolled spaghetti, have it with ragu or aglione, the garlic sauce) and superb steaks (filetto), some days also rabbit and duck, best known for their maialino = roasted suckling pig, this is the house specialty. Friendly service by owners Roberto and Enrica, she\'s now cooking with her mother in the kitchen. Closed Tuesdays and usually the month of July (this year they go up to the Alps for cooler weather!). Very, very nice outside dining in front, but you need to reserve table well in advance. They take a summer holiday and close for the month of July. Last visit August 2018.  Via San Carlo 2, east end of main street, just inside the gate. 0578-748-606. ($)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante del Falco</strong>, for a good Tuscan meal, you should try this established local restaurant, we always eat well here. On our last visit in October 2013 we had good homemade pasta, grilled lamb chops, and delicious desserts. Outdoor tables in the front courtyard. This classic local restaurant does not rate highly in Pienza, but it\'s because they have not changed their traditional ways just to appeal to the modern tourist trade. Service is quick and friendly, English spoken. If you are tired of the limited fare at the many wine-bars in Pienza, come here for a proper meal. Closed Fridays. Piazza Dante Alighieri 7, on main road next to the park, just outside of the old town. Tel: 0578-748-551.

Lot\'s to choose on the menu. The ravioli is some of the best I\'ve ever had. Their steaks (tagliata) are aged tender so you can almost cut with a fork, and delicious. Closed Wednesdays.

Tel: 0577-897-541. www.trattoriaosenna.com/ ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Cardinale</strong> took this spot on the main street few years ago from il Tinaio. This is an excellent restaurant serving high quality Tuscan food, care is taken in presentation, food is both delicious to taste and attractive on the plate. There\'s a high-vaulted dining room downstairs but we have always sat at the street-side tables. No inexpensive house wines here, only \"fine\" wines so the cost of the meal does go up compared to our usual trattoria dinners. ($$$) Via Dante Alighieri n.35/A Tel. 0577-899-945 www.osteriadelcardinale.it\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante il Garibaldi</strong>, (Il Garibaldi on Facebook) is one of our favorite road-house truck-stops and after a brief closure has re-opened with new management and remodeling.

The restaurants where you should make reservations are noted with *. During the summer call at least one day in advance for dinner (<em>cena</em>) reservations (<em>pre-notazione</em>). Kitchen is typically open for lunch from 12:30 to about 2:00 pm, for dinner: 7:30 - 9:30 pm, and later on weekends.\r\n\r\nIn restaurants, pizza is served at dinner only. During the day, buy pizza by the slice from the snack-bars in towns. House wine is always good. If you’re a couple, ask for <em>mezzo litro di rosso</em> = half a litre of red in a carafe, works out to 4 servings. But most restaurants only have bottled wines. Craft beer is available and is also made by small local breweries. No smoking inside, but at outside tables, please ask your waiter if okay to <em>fumare</em>, then ask for the <em>porta cenere</em> = the ashtray. Few restaurants still don\'t take credit cards so bring enough cash, just in case. <em>Buon appetito!</em>\r\n\r\nHere are few sentences in Italian to help you book a table:<em>   </em>\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per la cena domani sera, due persone, il nome è Smith </em>= I would like to make a reservation for dinner tomorrow evening, 2 people, name is Smith.\r\n\r\n<em>Vorrei prenotare per il pranzo oggi, quatro persone, il nome è  Jones </em>= I would like to make a reservation for lunch today, 4 people, name is Jones.\r\n\r\n<em>Preferisco una tavola fuori</em> = I prefer a table outside, <em>dentro</em> = inside\r\n\r\n$ = moderate, $$ = mid-range, $$$ = costly\r\n<h2>Acquaviva di Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante l\'Angolo</strong>, serves classic Tuscan cuisine in a pleasant restaurant with good service. Go for lunch while touring the Vino Nobile vineyards. They now have 2 sides to this place, the established restaurant and at the adjacent refurbished room is a modern fusion style new restaurant. Have a look at the different menus, share an antipasto plate, and taste the home made long pasta called \"pici\". The bottle of high quality/low price red wine from a local canteen was served with passion for hospitality by the owner. Closed Mondays. Via Via Galileo Galilei 18, 53045 Acquaviva di Montepulciano, behind the main church, 3 blocks from the main street, center of town (our last visit was years ago, but I hear it\'s still excellent).

($$)*\r\n<h2>Amiata mountain, village of Pescina</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Silene</strong>, fine dining at Mt Amiata, well worth a detour to this famous restaurant and country Inn. Refined cooking and local specialties (truffles, mushrooms, game), also vegetarian selection. Enjoy delicious hand-made pasta and the baked chocolate desert.

Il Loggiato more of a wine-bar and a tavern, than a restaurant, so you don\'t have to follow any rules of formal dining. In summer the best tables are outside shaded by big umbrellas, while in the winter the inside bar and dining area are downstairs. There you\'ll find 2 dining rooms with rustic brick walls and cozy atmosphere. Very informal menu of bruschettas, cheese plates and other light meals and snacks, but also soups and meat dishes at reasonable prices. Newly opened next to the famous open pool, and just below the bookstore drawing in a younger crowd. Attentive service by the owners, one is a sommelier and the other is a proper cook.

Usually you can get a table even during the summer. But on holiday weekends they get very busy and both service and food quality suffer. We\'ve had many good meals and many bad ones too. This is a tourist hot-spot where the food scene is constantly changing and also the staff and management have high turnover. There are also 3 cafes along the main walk serving snacks and light meals, so you have more choice.\r\n<h2>Bettolle</h2>\r\n1 km from the Val di Chiana A1 exit:\r\n<strong>Betulia</strong>, classic Tuscan cooking, standard pastas and grilled meats.

Serves the local menu at reasonable prices, see all the specials for this summer. Many tables on the piazza and more in a charming dining room upstairs, walk past the bar and the B&amp;B reception desk to get there. The roof-top of the tower has a spectacular open dining area seating 4 to 12 people, (if you can climb up the steps!) special booking for groups. Last visited May 2018. Closed Mondays. 0577-665-373.

The charming Daniella runs the dining room while her brother is the chef, cooking traditional items such as the excellent lasagne I had, and also familiar treats for tourists, like hamburgers. This is a great place for groups, because there\'s a lot of space indoors, plus 2 long picnic tables with umbrellas outside. It may not be fancy, but a very welcoming and relaxed place to have a good meal.

Currently (May 2018) the best value (quality/price) restaurant in the Orcia Valley and Amiata areas of southern Tuscany. You reach sublime heights of culinary nirvana with Chef Rita’s fresh melt-in-your-mouth pasta with delicious sauce of truffle-walnut cream or porcini mushrooms, to-die-for! Tortelli can be had with the best ragu. My choice is the little <em>gnocchetti verdi al gorgonzola</em>. In warm weather we have leisurely lunches under shade on the wide panoramic terrace with platters of antipasti, and in the late fall dinners by the fireplace inside the well furnished large restaurant. Game is also on the menu, and their tender steaks of Chianina beef are cooked over hot coals, but leave some room for dessert too (sharing is okay). Your charming host, Andrea, takes good care of you while Rita is an amazing chef. The prices are lower than one would expect and the atmosphere is most welcoming.\r\n\r\nFrom Pienza in the Orcia valley take the route SS2, the Via Cassia, just south of Bango Vignoni, drive up to Castiglion d’Orcia and keeping to the main road, drive past town and continue another 4 km along route SS323, at fork turn left toward Vivo d’Orcia (route SP18).

Osteria Vecchia is now simply known as \"da Nilo\" (at Nilo\'s), after the owner himself. This is still the same beloved local favorite. Menu has fresh seasonal and regional dishes, superb homemade pastas, delicious food and great value for money. We last had lunch there in June 2016, the ravioli and the lamb chops just delicious, and the pici aglione had the more intense garlic flavor that I crave for! Closed Tuesdays in low season only. Seating outside on the terrace to the right of the main entry (best place for views over the piazza), and more tables al fresco around at the back of the restaurant. Inside is a classy dining room. Highly recommended restaurant, can get very busy so reservation is a must especially for the terrace in the summer evenings. Tel: 0578-239-040 www.iltigliodipiazza.it/ristorante-da-nilo.aspx  ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria del Merlo</strong>, is a superb restaurant and serious competition to the above Osteria da Nilo. It opened just 2 years ago, and has already carved out a reputation amongst the Italian foodies. Located at the south-east corner of Piazza Garibaldi, just dozen steps to the left from Nilo\'s and around the corner from the cafe, you see a large stone tower with covered outdoor seating at the front deck, and inside you take a few steps down to a spacious high vaulted dining room at the base of the tower. A/c inside was welcome for our first lunch there in the hot days of August 2015. Professional waiters offer smooth service and excellent wine list (also by the glass), but the star here is the Chef Elisa in the kitchen! She beautifully prepared seasonal foods with sublime flavors, everything we had was delicious. Can\'t wait to go back! Closed Mondays. Via Sobborgo, 1, Cetona.

Gary and I have come here for many memorable lunches. It\'s rare to have excellent seafood this far inland, so this restaurant owned by 2 Neapolitan brothers should get every seafood lover\'s attention. The shellfish was superb, featured firstly on the antipasto platter that we shared as a starter. It had fresh cold octopus salad and several types of cured fish and as soon we finished it, out came the surprise 2nd part; a bowl of steaming clams and mussels! The pasta course was predetermined since we are dedicated to spaghetti alle vongole, and sure enough, sweet and delicious clams piled high on top of hot pasta was a treat to all senses. We even had the main course which was perhaps a bit too much food at lunch, but could not resist tasting their grilled and lightly fried mixed seafood platters, to further explore the menu. House white wine was perfect and inexpensive, and the whole meal with mineral water and coffees came to about 45 euros a head. Really good value for such high quality food. Service was friendly and efficient, menu has English translation, the setting was most pleasant in one of their two well furnished dining rooms. There\'s parking up front and down the side street. Located at a roadside hamlet just north of Camucia see signs on the main road, the SS 71. www.cantanapoli.net Loc. Le Piagge, 33/A – Camucia di Cortona (AR), tel: 0575-62996.

Now I\'m talking about hospitality. Our recent meal (August 2017)  in Chiusi was in the center of the old town, at Osteria Etrusca. Hospitality here is like magic; the charm, warmth and kindness of the owners, father and daughter, is beyond comparison. They both speak English. We sat at a covered outside table watching the street scene at the end of the day, and agreed that this is why we love Italy! The food is classic local fare, our group of 6 ordered pizzas, pastas, steak and salads ... all delicious and very affordably priced. Here you\'re not just a tourist. Closed Mondays. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Porsenna</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53043 Chiusi</span> , tel: 0578-222-243  </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Osteria La Solita Zuppa</strong>, creative take on Tuscan cooking, good food but small portions.

Bring everyone with you, this is a great place for kids, too! 4 people can eat for 50 euros total, and the pizza is superb. I often \'splurge\' and order the Antipasto Goloso and the Pizza Pazza. The mixed grill of pork is also good, as are the pastas for those who are tired of pizza already. The charming ladies, Giovanna and Adriana, will look after you! I want to give you a tip, hold onto your fork and knife, you don\'t get new ones for every dish at these prices! Order wine by the half liter or the full liter carafe and try the new artisan beers .... pizza is still tastes best with a beer. The covered terrace has panoramic views over Siena Province and you see the huge Monte Oliveto Abbey illuminated down the valley in the evenings. During the summer you need to call (+39) 0577 707103 for reservations on the splendid terrace. Plenty of easy parking along the road.  By the way, I live in this village. Via delle Piazze, 3, Chiusure , 53041 Asciano SI ($)* .\r\n\r\n<strong>Locanda il Paradiso </strong>(on Facebook, Google) has been here in Chiusure for decades (10 km to Asciano and Buonconvento). It\'s located on the edge of the village and offers a simple menu of summertime food with cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Nothing is over 8 euros . Locanda il Paradiso has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view down to the Monte Oliveto abbey. This humble local cafe has become a favorite place of bicycle groups and motorbike tours, so be sure to call ahead to make a reservation during the summer.

For the fabulous tasting menus of 6 or more small courses, expect to pay over 100 euros per person, and you can also order a\' la carte. Excellent wine list. Stop here when driving to San Gimignano or Volterra. Food is elevated to a fine art, service is professional, dining room is comfortable and smart casual dressing would be appropriate. Closed every Tuesday and Wednesday. Via XX Settembre 50, center of the upper old town. 0577-920-549 www.arnolfo.com/ ($$$)*\r\n<h2>La Foce</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Dopolavoro</strong> re-opened at La Foce a few years ago, and now it\'s a spacious open barn-like restaurant and a recommended stop while touring the Val d’Orcia region. Come here for delicious food in a relaxing outdoor or indoor setting, with friendly service and English spoken. They are open all day and the location is next to the famous Origo villa and gardens, making this the perfect place for lunch before taking the guided garden tour at La Foce on the weekends and Wednesday afternoons; the tours start at 3, 4, 5 and 6 pm.\r\n\r\nLast time we had a group of 6 for lunch here in June of 2017. We opted for a lighter meal and shared several plates of different cold cuts, cheeses and salads. Their menu offers the usual Tuscan fare with many good starters and pastas, while the mains include stews, kebabs, BBQ ribs and steaks. Here\'s a nice surprise, they also offer a juicy hamburger and fries, with mayo and ketchup!! This hamburger is what we\'d expect in the English speaking world, with a beef patty inside a bun plus extras like bacon &amp; cheese.  You should keep this in mind, as many restaurants have a \"hamburger\" on the menu, but it\'s only a plain ground up steak, no bun or anything else, and barely cooked, more like a steak tartar. Get your real burger here, Dopolavoro has got it right! Strada della Vittoria, 90, La Foce (SI) – Tel: 0578-754-025 www.dopolavorolafoce.it\r\n<h2>Lucignano d\'Arbia</h2>\r\n<strong>Valserena</strong> is a local trattoria halfway between Siena and Buonconvento at Lucignano d\'Arbia. Valserena is a neighborhood restaurant with a basic traditional menu, but it\'s definitely the best simple eatery in this valley and visited by the locals for their grilled meats. Great atmosphere, loud conversations, and everybody seems to know everybody. Come here for a good evening with absolutely authentic and really inexpensive food, drinkable house wine, and very friendly, relaxed atmosphere. We have feasted on their delicious spare ribs and gnocchi with pesto. Pizza is also cooked in the evenings. Don\'t miss this experience! Open for lunch and dinner, closed on Wednesdays. The restaurant is perched on a hill west of the Via Cassia, about 9 km north from Buonconvento, and 1 km south of Lucignano d\'Arbia. <span class=\"format_address\"><span class=\"street-address\">Via Cassia Sud, 2858</span>, <span class=\"locality\">53014, Monteroni d\'Arbia.

Set inside the town walls, this is an eatery of high quality, both in food and service. The menu created by Chef Susanna is loaded with seasonal food, including, a surprisingly large selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes! I love the marvelous mixed antipasto platter of tasty treats. From the street the restaurant looks small, but expands side, and in fine weather, ask to be seated out the back on the veranda, as the view across the Tuscan countryside is wonderful. On main street of old town at: Via Matteotti, 90, 52046 Lucignano. 0575.836707 ($$)*\r\n<h2>Montalcino</h2>\r\n<strong>Taverna del Grappolo Blu</strong>, our last visit back in 2008 was a pleasure, and I hear that it’s still serving rich and tasty home made pastas on pretty plates, excellent guinea foul, half-bottles of house red at great value. Warm and cozy interior in rustic building, friendly service, English spoken. Located right off the main street (Via Mazzini) near town-hall piazza, a few steps down the side alley Scala di Moglio, look for the signs. Open every day. 0577-847-150 ($$)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Boccon di Vino</strong> and <strong>Taverna dei Barbi</strong> are 2 well known restaurants, but we stay away, so please let me know if you go and how it was!\r\n<h2>Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey</h2>\r\n<strong>R</strong><strong>istorante San Valentino</strong> is part of the Piccolo Hotel San Valentino just 2 miles from the Abbey towards Buonconvento. From the road you drive up and around the back for parking. There\'s a covered terrace that\'s good for lunch, and inside a large dining room but step thru to the wide open garden patio for dining outside in the warm season. The cook\'s name is Gigliola and she\'s a pro in preparing the classic Tuscan menu with a very nice touch. In the summer you should try her panzanella and burrata ravioli, with good local wines and of course always ask about the specials! It\'s very romantic there on the patio and garden at sunset! Address: SP451, 53041 San Valentino, Asciano SI, Italy, (<a class=\"fl r-iv_1cnswcDxc\" title=\"Call via Hangouts\" data-number=\"+390577707153\" data-rtid=\"iv_1cnswcDxc\" data-ved=\"0CJ0BEJAIKAEwDw\">+39) 0577 707153</a> ($$)\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante La Torre</strong> at the Abbey serves good food outside on the large covered terrace, but is often busy with tour groups. Closed Tuesdays. Enjoy lunch on the terrace when visiting the famous abbey. 0577-707-022. ($$)*\r\n\r\nUp 1 km from the abbey in <strong>Chiusure</strong> is an excellent pizzeria <strong>Ristorante La Terrazza</strong> serving classic meals on the north side of the village with panoramic views. The <strong>Osteria il Paradiso</strong>   inside the village offers a classic simple menu of summertime food of cold starters, hot soups and pastas at fair prices. Paradiso also has a wide covered terrace up front and a great view to the abbey.\r\n<h2>Montefollonico</h2>\r\n<strong>Ristorante Pizzaria il Botteghino</strong> is an established road-house restaurant and pizzeria in Tuscany on the way from Torrita to Pienza, near the town of Montefollonico. Their good and simple cooking is very popular with the locals and delivery truck drivers. This is one of our favorite Tuscan “truck-stops”. We recently had dinner there and it was again superb. For starters, try the marinated anchovy fillets and warm crostini, they can easily be shared. For the pasta course I had the surprisingly light and small gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, heavenly! This large restaurant is the best place in the area for grilled juicy pork ribs and sausages. They also serve pizza that looked good, but we haven\'t tasted it yet. The helpful waiters speak some English. Large covered outdoor dining areas. Closed on Tuesdays. Last visit August 2018. Located along the SP15 at a fork in the road. Address: 25, Loc. Osteria Delle Noci - 53049 Torrita di Siena (SI). 0577-668-031. ($)\r\n\r\n<strong>La Chiusa</strong> is<strong> </strong>another famous restaurant we stay away from. Go instead to La Grotta or Locanda dell\'Amorosa or Mondo X La Frateria for good fine dining in this region.\r\n<h2>Montepulciano</h2>\r\n<strong>Osteria Acquacheta</strong> is a special place among the many good places to eat in Montepulciano. Prices are low for such tasty food, like 6 euros for a plate of fresh pasta al ragu. Standard menu and the daily menu are both worth looking thru. Lots of choices but the reason many come here is the big thick steak the owner chops off and brings to show for your approval before cooking it on the wood burning BBQ you see ablaze way back in the kitchen. They have very decent local wine, but also courage you to bring your own special bottle. They will charge 1.5 euros per person as corkage. They serve wine in simple glasses. This is a long and narrow space crammed with tables and chairs and sometimes you share a long communal table and be served some of the best local food.\r\n\r\nPici and several other pastas and soup are made with pure homespun goodness, all local stuff. The big Fiorentina steak dominates the long list of mains, and would be a meat-lover\'s dream come true (shared with 2 or more people). Grilled pigeon, rabbit, pork, sausages … deer, duck, salt-cod, truffles, baked cheese … and the excellent choice of many greens and vegetables. Giulio, the owner is a famously grumpy-looking guy, but has a sense of humor and speaks English. Some customers don’t get it, so their reviews can be mixed. Take my word for it, Acquacheta is an excellent place for a hearty and delicious meal that doesn\'t break the budget. Closed on Tuesdays and 3 months in winter. Our last visit August 2017. Just down from Piazza Grande, past Teatro Poliziano. Via del Teatro, 22 - 53045 Montepulciano (SI), Tel:+39 0578 717086,  Fax:+39 0578 717086, call or fax, no bookings by email.\r\n\r\n<strong>La Grotta</strong> is a gem, you should definitely come here for fine dining in <em>Montepulciano</em>.  This is the most pleasant restaurant with excellent cooking and courteous professional service. It’s the perfect place to enjoy the splendid Vino Nobile wines with your lunch or dinner. Seasonal ingredients feature truffles, porcini mushrooms, and game. We like them for their delicate hand made pasta and the chef who cooks the best rack of lamb for the main course. Delicious deserts, too. Some people think this is too posh or costly, but we find it very comfortable and perhaps only little higher than prices at your usually trattoria. And the quality of food at <em>La Grotta</em> is superb making this an excellent choice for a special meal. I recommend the 6 course tasting menu at only 53 euros, with 2 people minimum order.\r\n\r\nThe 2 vaulted dining rooms are spacious and tables are placed far apart to allow for easy movement and privacy. They also have outside dining in a lovely garden setting, recently expanded. This can be a wonderfully romantic place in the evenings with candle light. Be sure to make a reservation for the outside tables. Easy parking in front. Last visit in May 2017. Closed on Wednesdays.

If you are renting a villa in the area, look this up first, but if closed, you can walk to the pizzeria down the road for a simple meal.\r\n<h2>Piazze</h2>\r\n<strong>La Bottega delle Nane</strong>, excellent cooking and we like it. Some of the best food in the area, lots of daily and seasonal specials. Two problems are (1) no written menu for the daily specials - they tell you what\'s available, the waiter speaks some English. (2) No house wines by the glass, only full bottles – but the local Monte Cetona area wines are not expensive. Closed Thursdays. Via Provinciale 187, town center. Tel: 0578-244-295.

Friendly service by owners Roberto and Enrica, she\'s now cooking with her mother in the kitchen. Closed Tuesdays and usually the month of July (this year they go up to the Alps for cooler weather!). Very, very nice outside dining in front, but you need to reserve table well in advance. They take a summer holiday and close for the month of July. Last visit August 2018.  Via San Carlo 2, east end of main street, just inside the gate. 0578-748-606. ($)*\r\n\r\n<strong>Ristorante del Falco</strong>, for a good Tuscan meal, you should try this established local restaurant, we always eat well here. On our last visit in October 2013 we had good homemade pasta, grilled lamb chops, and delicious desserts. Outdoor tables in the front courtyard. This classic local restaurant does not rate highly in Pienza, but it\'s because they have not changed their traditional ways just to appeal to the modern tourist trade. Service is quick and friendly, English spoken. If you are tired of the limited fare at the many wine-bars in Pienza, come here for a proper meal. Closed Fridays.
