There were some great options in the display cabinet for lunch at a very reasonable price - you can choose three items from the display for a set price of €10.80 (or €12.80 for meat/fish). We liked it so much that we ate lunch there nearly every day of our stay and bought takeaway for dinner one night. The staff are very friendly and helpful (big thumbs up to Steven). We're so glad we found this gem!

I was impressed with Montanucci! This small town has a modern, spacious, delightful bar/café…read more The interior has many nooks and lots of wood paneling. You can get a light lunch, snack, beverages, cocktails and dessert. The frittata I ordered was tasty with crumbly pie type dough at the base and a lattice pattern on top. The hot tea was extremely necessary since it was gale force winds today. The dessert of a slice of chocolate cake was rich and not sweet (which is good)! Overall, if only I knew the way to order there would have been lot less confusion. To do so (order): Go to the bar, ask for what you want, take the number given to the cashier to pay, then take the paid receipt to the bar and a server will bring your stuff to a table. It was a bit confusing since I wanted to sit at a table and not drink my tea at the bar. The café seemed to host a social/group celebration (birthday for a matriarch?) in a private room at a lower level. Tourists were huddled over cups of tea or coffee. A couple of young people were studying with laptops. Montanucci's is a place for everyone it seems!

Almost immediately we knew we'd like it...the outside dining was very pleasant and our server, Simona, was very friendly, helpful and patient. (I mention her patience because I speak only a little Italian, and despite the fact that she speaks English well, she was very patient with me as I tried to order food and wine and have general conversation with her in Italian.) After making our dinner selections we asked Simona for a wine recommendation, emphasizing that we did not want a sweet, white wine. She explained that none of their white wines were sweet and thought I had made a good choice when I finally selected one. Before our meals came we had a small appetizer made from beets, a small egg and a little sauce..delicious! Our main meals were wonderful and afterwards Simona brought is a little local treat, some dessert wine with small donuts for dipping in the wine! She explained that they (not sure if this was the locals or her family) used to do this occasionally. We had a nice visit with her for a few minutes after dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant. The menu has a good variety of selections, listed under antipasti, primi, secondi and dolci. The wine list has a lot of options, too. The outside environment is lively and fun, with a nice shade covering and comfortable seating. I could definitely eat there again! Oh, and when you go? Hope to have Simona as your server!
