If you are considering coming here, just book your reservation already! We ended up going for a second night in a row. Valentino and Lorenzo were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We felt at home in the restaurant and the wine shop. We tried a few wines over the dinner, and a few more afterwards as well. Great prices on some really impressive bottles. Make sure to ask for recommendations on unique bottles you won't find outside of Tuscany, so you can bring something special home with you. Fantastic service. Amazing food (see photos). A cozy ambiance. 10/10 would recommend. Grazie to all of the staff, the chef, and our new friends Lorenzo and Valentino.

Long Review: When you visit Montepulciano, you start on the top of the mountain and work your way down through the city. Ancient city with lots of shops and wineries and quaint restaurants like this one. We each got a wine tasting flight to accompany our sandwiches and charcuterie, and boy did it hit the spot! The server was great in explaining all the local wines and which meats and cheeses to pair with each. He even gave us an extra tasting of a wine we wanted to try. I'd recommend stopping here before you head out of the city center!

Just recently, on a…read morereturn trip, I was happy to find that MeetLife was still operating and much the same place I had visited years earlier. It's a typical neighborhood cafe, quite casual, and there lies it's charm. It's not a large place but it's a good place to experience a bit of local flavor. Here you'll find locals popping in for a quick espresso or tourists taking a much needed break. It's a good place to rest and recharge and a good place to grab a welcomed coffee drink , soft drink, beer etc. The bathroom here is also clean and well cared for. It can get crowded at times due to it's small size but hit it at the right time and you might have the place to yourself.

The Greek salad was at least tolerable with decent chunks of feta cheese, black olives, and nice fresh tomato. The pizza could not have been more flavorless. It looked delicious but nothing about it had flavor even after laying on a bunch of salt and pepper and even olive oil to try to make it taste better. The cocktail was weak and the fruit juice in it tasted canned. No way I'd go back
