We were staying at the Agriturismo up the road and wandered down here in search of a decent dinner. It definitely didn't seem like the kind of place you'd find a restaurant, and we were kind of skeptical of the place because there were only 2 other customers inside (and they appeared to friends of the owner/manager) and the whole ambiance seemed a little outdated and unremarkable. I think they were as surprised to see us as we were to find them, as they probably don't get many tourists out there. However, they quickly became very appreciative of our presence and threw in a bunch of things on the house - fried zucchini flowers (wow!), freshly sliced ribbons of prosciutto and a glass of champagne. The food itself was actually outstanding - I got a regional pasta called "Pici" (thicker, braided spaghetti) and my wife got these pecorino pouches with cracked pepper that she was obsessing over. If you find yourself out here and are looking for a great meal, I'd definitely give it a shot.

They were served only slightly warm and both were very "liquid" in the center and the dough was simply not tasty. When asking if we could pay, we waited for almost half an hour. Maybe we were just unlucky, but in our case the restaurant across the street (which we tested 2 days later) was the much better choice.

Feels like you are dining at someone's home so the service is first class. We drove there and after about 10min. found a parking spot -- so allow extra time for that. Just outside the walls so in a nice looking neighborhood. Small menu that changes so you may want to check first to see if there is something for you. Maybe call? We were the ONLY ones in there at 7:30 so Matteo waited to take our wine order until he knew what food we were having in order to pair it better. That was a first for us! A bit more expensive that the other places in town -- but why not splurge -- you're in Italy!

The soup was a really good Tuscan bean soup that was right on the money. They had a cold cut plate that I would go for next time around which looked great. Pricing - hard to beat, 26 euro for two with wine, so very good value right off the city square.
