This bar has the best sunsets ever. The wine selection is thoughtful and large, the staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the beautiful stone building is most inviting and relaxing. If you happen to be there for jazz night (approximately every other Friday in the summer and fall) you will be in for an incredible and memorable... More

Tucked in a location in the small Piazza San Francesco; which itself offers some lovely views over the rolling countryside. We opted for lunch here on a quiet day in Montepuliciano after reading a few reviews that made it seem like a good option for us with two small children. There was a small but interesting selection of pasta's including... More

located in a quiet piazza and well worth seeking out. We sat at an outside table on a warm late summers day. The service was slow but attentive. The menu was small but making a decision was difficult, it all sounded delicious. We all enjoyed our selections, my ravioli was superb!

We have visited here a number of times in the past twelve months during our stays in Montepulciano. It is the perfect place to unwind and watch the sun go down with a glass of wine when the weather is good. We have also enjoyed relaxing inside the bar on a comfortable couch when it's raining. The food is simple... More

We both had salads and the food was fine.But my husband's glass of nobile di montepulciano reserva at a cost of 8 euros was full of sediment. Waiter said sediment to be expected in a wine of its age (well, yes, but in the bottle not in the glass!) He reluctantly took the wine away and came back with another... More

We ate here our first evening in Montepulciano as we were staying in one of the perfect rooms this place also offers. Cinzia ia so humble when suggesting places she recommends to eat she didn't mention their own place at all! I had mozzarella and tomato bruschetta and it's the best I have ever tasted!

We got to know the owners, Luca and Cinzia, when they first opened in 2006. We loved it then and its even better now. We like the casual food and good wine, plus its a friendly, cool environment, plus good music, sometimes live. We ate practically every lunch there during our 12 days at a friend's apartment, plus many dinner... More
