This restaurant is fantastic! The best one we visited in Montalcino region. The tuscan antipasto is amazing, and all the other dishes we had were delicious. The lasagna is the best I've ever had in my life!

Words just cannot describe the beautiful decor, the exquisite food, and the attentive service at Il Leccio. We will definitely return and we highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was friendly and all of the suggestion of having the ravioli with pigeon took us out of our comfort zone but it was one of the best meals we had during... More

We visited this restaurant recently. It was a fantastic experience full of family warmth. The room is very cozy and the service was very friendly. You're feeling really welcome here. As if you've come to your friends' house. The choice is very wide, so it can easily cater to any taste. The chef had no problems cooking especially for us... More

This is a restaurant not to be missed. The steak is top quality, the vegetables fried to perfection and the wine list long enough for you to find one that you will love. A short drive from Montalcino.

This restaurant was suggested by the owner of our B&B as a great place for lunch as we had reservations at Poggio Antico winery not far from Sant' Angelo in Colle later that afternoon. We sat outside and the atmosphere and service were great. I had the best gnocchi I have ever eaten. I think there are only two restaurants... More

We live in Tuscany for 6 weeks in the summer and in San Francisco and San Diego the rest of the year. I have to say that this is my favorite restaurant of all time. The food and atmosphere are exquisite, and the service amazing. Unfortunately, the New York Times has discovered this place and wrote a great review, but... More

We found this place on TripAdvisor and booked a lunch. The meal was divine! The choice of wine was great - what else would you expect in being so close to Montalcino. As indicated by other reviewers, the restaurant is located in a small hamlet with a fantastic view. From our viewpoint, the only point of potential improvement is the... More

Due to tripadvisor we find this place, later is was recommended also by the owner of the hotel. The place is on a very small en dull town in the neighborhood of Montalcino. A drive of 15 minutes, but it is worth it. The food is excellent, tasteful and delicious. There is a menu, but the menu is more for... More

We dined here on advice of the proprietor of the agritourismo we were staying at, otherwise we would never have known about it. It's just a short (and lovely) drive from Montalcino but we really had the feeling we were away from the rest of the tourists. The food was delicous and the outdoor patio was just beautiful at sunset.... More
