TheForkUserThe newly renovated restaurant and enoteca is perfect. We’ve been twice recently and it may be our favorite place in the Chiusi area!
TheForkUserMy son and I first found La Patriarca one sunny afternoon in 2007, and it quickly became a family favorite. The location (3 minutes from the exit of the autostrada and across the road from the cinema) was super convenient, the staff always kind and generous, and the traditional southern Tuscan food, simply delicious. For 9 years, we were happy, regular diners there. I am so so happy to write that La Patriarca hasn't changed a bit! Walked in to find the wood-fired grill ablaze, the waitress remembered my face (even though I'm 7 years older!) and the steak and roasted potatoes still as yummy and satisfying as I last remembered. It isn't fancy (that's Il Salotto upstairs) but it is exactly what typical cooking of the Val di Chiana should taste like. Absolutely recommended !!!
TheForkUserWe are frequent guests at Le Tartare yesterday we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary there enjoying a gift card from our son and daughter-in-law for lunch. We were presented with a long stemmed, red rose in a beautiful arrangement and crisp cold white wine when we arrived. The quality of the food is consistently excellent, and is only surpassed by the warmth of the staff and Maurizio! We have come to feel like family. We will return again again.
_TI***osIf you're looking for a cozy spot with good food made from local ingredients, this restaurant is a great choice. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes.
TheForkUserFor us 7 from Zurich, London and Singapore, this was unquestionably the most amazing dining experience during our visit to this region. Elegant ambience, outstanding and flawless service, an extraordinary wine list and an exceptionally talented Chef. Every creation was a perfect jewel. They even sent a taxi for us 45 minutes away. Miss this and you will be doing yourself a great disservice.
TheForkUserThe meal was great and the personal service was wonderful. We were celebrating a birthday and had notified the restaurant with the reservation. They made the evening so delightful by taking the initiative to serve a cake. It was a sweet surprise for us all. The food was delicious! I had the cod and onion starter and the fresh pasta with artichoke. Both dishes were seasoned perfectly and very tasty. The atmosphere is classy and beautiful. A delightful evening!
TheForkUserWe regret not going earlier to this place as it had great staff, very tasty food (the pici cacio e pepe was very good) and very fair pricing.The owner (I assume) really made our evening, with her outgoing nature. It created a great atmosphere. It’s simple and casual but definitely a place to recommend.We will without a doubt revisit when we are in the neighbourhood again.
TheForkUserNot speaking Italian, we relied on the English translation which unfortunately was incorrect so two people didn't get at all what they thought they ordered. The steak had too much tough sinew in it so big portion was not edible. Service was good.
TheForkUserLovely setting in a beautiful village- we enjoyed the lake view sunset over a glass of Prosecco. Dinner was wonderful and our waiter was absolutely brilliant!
TheForkUserVery nice setting and dining experience. Good attentive service. Excellent food. Veal cheeks were the best that I have had and the pici pasta was delicious. The wine list was exceptional- great bottle of vino nobile riserva.
TheForkUserThe food was amazing and the service was great. Claudio is a real showman!! A little pricey but well worth the money.
TheForkUserGreat food, simple but perfectly prepared in the tradition of la cucina italiana. Large portions, excellent and very affordable wines, and delightful service. Worth a trip down the hill from the old town. Very convenient to the Arena Santa Giuliana.
TheForkUserI didn't expect to receive a 30% discount even though I made a reservation in advance, but they applied the discount to me upon confirmation of my reservation. It was a very dramatic restaurant and I was able to end the day with a decent dinner.
TheForkUserEnjoyable food. More than 100 wines by glass to choose from and of good quality and reasonable prices. Good wine recommendations provided. Possibility to sit indoor and outdoor. Good service.
TheForkUserGreat meal, unique local ingredients and great original twists on traditional recipes. Service great, very informative and amusing but speed was slowish for us. Didn't take away from the wonderful peaceful atmosphere - very romantic.
TheForkUserWe went as a group of 6 for dinner and had a great time. This is a true Irish Pub with dark wood throughout, a real walk up bar with ice cold tap beer and dart boards! All of this was a nice surprise as pubs don't really exist in this area. They also have the best hamburgers in Tuscany, maybe in all of Italy plus a full menu to delight everyone. We have been 3 times in 2 weeks, so I guess you could say we HIGHLY recommend a visit!
TheForkUserThe hand made pasta is highly recommended. The environment is simple and pleasant. The deserts are a must
TheForkUserThe waiter doesn't speak English, and the menu was entirely in Italian. Luckily, I can speak basic Italian and also used Google Translate.The first dishes we had were excellent (2 with Burrata cheese and the Cupa Cupa salad), but they were huge, and then we couldn't enjoy the second dishes.The hamburger was without a bun.The grilled chicken was excellent. We liked the grilled veal less.They don't serve tea.Take into account that the restaurant is on a steep hill. There are 2 parking spaces on the hill, otherwise you need to park on the street and climb uphill.Good toilets.
TheForkUserWonderful setting! The outside patio is nice and airy with lovely oversized umbrellas. The menu is creative and a tasty offering of seasonal flavors.
TheForkUserWe had an amazing dinner at Le Terre de Cavalieri. So good in fact, we went back the day after. It is a lovely setting in an old farmhouse. The employees and chef are very friendly and hospitality is their brand. Last but definitely not least, the food is fantastic. A gorgeous mix of classic Italian with new flavours. Both fish and meat are great, but as the chef himself says: “he was born with his feet in the water”. A must see and taste for every foodie
TheForkUserEvery year this restaurant and winebar is on our list. Always great. Very good food, great wines and lovely people. Never ever change a wi ning team. When in Montalcino, .... have lunch, drink wine or have dinner at Svaenen.
TheForkUserFantastic food, the pasta dish was a personal highlight, as well as my partner's main course. The local wine accompanied the food perfectly. Also the waitress serving us was outstanding, being extremely attentive, affable and professional. We are booked in again for Tuesday, it is that good.
TheForkUserWonderful place- we sat outside and it felt like the whole town was eating dinner together. Cozy and family oriented with great food. Interior dining rooms were also super pretty.
TheForkUserLovely restaurant in a beautiful and spotlessly clean little Umbrian hill town. There are tables outside under an arcade, so cool on the hot evening. Outstanding for Slow Food aficionados: everything is local and cooked with great care and attention to detail. Two different menus: Umbrian traditional and gourmet. Good wine list featuring excellent local makers. We've been here several times before and they just keep getting better and better. Kind and attentive service.
