Al Vecchio Forno is owned by the excellent hotel Palazzo del Capitano but is in a separate building a short walk away. Because of this there are usually a lot of tourists eating there who are staying at the hotel and reservations are needed for dinner even out of season. The food is definitely well above average and the prices... More

While visiting San Quirico, a charming Tuscan town, we had a late lunch at this restaurant. It was a nice day so we opted to eat in the outside garden which was lovely and shaded from the sun. The service was excellent and the food was quite good. Highly recommend the fried squash blossoms. They were delicious! A lovely dining... More

We ate here for both nights while staying at our hotel. The restaurant is decorated with unique, creative ideas. Love the walls of bottle corks. Food and service was superb. Enjoyed the outdoor terrace because of the atmosphere. Wine list is a little overwhelming unless you have some experience with italian wines. But overall, a wonderful experience

My wife and I ate dinner here May 6th. Although we have been staying in Pienza we like San Quirico d'Orcia very much. We found this restaurant through TA. We had a reservation for 7:30pm. The restaurant filled most of the two levels within an hour. We ordered the following: - two glasses of the San Quirico d'Orcia red wine... More

As we entered the place, first thing we noticed was that it was full of locals. The choice on the menu is very vast. Food and service were excellent. Overall a great experience and very good value for money.

We passed by San Quirico on a trip through Tuscany with a group of 15. We went to this restaurant for lunch and were seated at the terrace. This is a perfect seating on a warm day. Unfortunately we were there on a rather cold day which spoiled the experience somewhat. We had a traditional Tuscan meat (samami, bacon) and... More

We ate at the Vecchio Forno last week. Interesting ambience in the place - especially liked the Mille Miglia posters and I think they could do more to highlight the town's links to the race. Staff were pleasant and attentive, and far more efficient than other reviewers have suggested. We had a great soup, a good pasta dish which was... More

The restaurant itself is very nice and the food is average. The service however is dismal. We had 4 different waiters through 1 meal and not a one was responsive. Tip: order a glass of wine from 3 different waiters and you might be lucky to get one in 30 mins.

A little jewel in San Quirico. Outer little place by the fire set the scene for a delicious dinner of ricotta- stuffed zucchini flowers followed by home made pasta with truffle sauce. If I could I would have licked the plate clean. Lovely wine and fantastic service. Would definitely recommend.
