Our experience at the restaurant was such a pleasure that we came back just for enjoying another meal some days later. Service was just perfect and each dish was prepared so nicely that it was just perfect for everybody in our group! Prices totally fine! We are thinking to go there again in our last days here in Tuscany because everybody still has another pasta dish left he/she wants to try :-) Thanks to the whole team, it is just amazing to see how much you care and love your profession! Our rating also considering what you get for your money: 10/10! Tom

Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

Such a lovely hidden find in the quaint hill town of Siena! We had a little trouble locating it in…read morethe alley on a rainy day, but the interior had a cute interior and covered patio, where we sat. After a few spritzes (15 euro each), we split an osso buco raviolo with seared fois gras and truffle flakes which was delicious and filling. We were hunkering for something other than pasta, pizza or steak, so had the delicious hamburger with pecorino cheese, served perfectly rare (20). It came with nice French fries and hit the spot. We were seated next to the owner, a pleasant New Yorker with the cutest dachound Julietta. The restaurant is a bit more expensive than the trattorias but well worth it.

Everyone will tell you to order the burger here, and they're absolutely right. Surprisingly, the…read morebest burger I've ever eaten was the Bandita Burger at this Pienza restaurant. While the beef patty itself is exceptional, what elevates this dish is the generous layer of melted pecorino cheese on top. The truffle butter pasta is equally outstanding. The pasta tastes unmistakably fresh and handmade, with rich truffle butter coating every strand perfectly. Together, these two dishes easily satisfy two diners, especially since the burger comes with a side of fries. La Bandita Townhouse is a must-visit when in Pienza. Just remember to make a reservation in advance, particularly for dinner service.

I didn't know what to expect from this place. I simply booked it on the recommendation from my…read morehotel, but boy am I happy I went here. The most striking thing about this restaurant is the high level of service.i can think of at least 5 examples of how their service exceeded my expectations: 1) When we arrived, the staff were expecting us and knew it was us. We had called 3 hours ahead, but this touch set the tone. 2) they had set up a perfect table for two for us by the window, with an incredible view. 3) We wanted some salad as we had been binging on hearty food throughout our Tuscan adventure, and if you've been to these parts, you know that even their salads have carbs. So when we expressed our desire for a green salad which was not on the menu, they had no reservations about cooking us up a perfect salad. 4) The chef came out to check on us to see if everything was ok. He walked to each table, which I have rarely seen. 5) When we were leaving, I asked if I could take my bottle of sparkling water with me. It was late at night and I was doubtful of finding a place to find water. The restaurant actually gave me a whole new bottle to take with me. Now how about the food? Really amazing! Duck ragout, and ravioli, both were excellent. The wine was incredible. I had a glass of chianti classico but regretfully didn't write down the name. If I could rate this place 6 stars, I would! Grazie Milli!!

We came with friends and we were a group of 8. The food was EVERYTHING. Italians take their means serious and boy did we have lots of food.

They were super nice and did not rush us out even though we ended up being there past closing time. The grounds are beautiful, it is truly a sight to see.

It had all the amenities required to keep my wife happy for the entire stay. Angela the Chef's wife was a gracious and welcoming host. The morning breakfasts were a very pleasant surpise but then again Walter wouldn't let anything pass out the kitchen door that wasn't great. I love a good omelette and unfortunately very few places do it correctly, when I was served my first Omelette at breakfast I was in heaven !! The entire staff were very helpful and friendly especially Carmen. During our stay we had several romantic dinners by ourselves and hosted two small parties for our local friends. We preferred to dine outdoors and the weather did cooperate. Our guest were extremely happy on the patio with the great food and friendly service. rather than review every dish individually with you , I'll give you a brief description of the cuisine. Walter uses seasonal product sourced in the local area many producers within a 10 minute radius. The menu is constantly changing according to product availability. He then prepares them perfectly being a master chef in the area for decades !! Most of the restaurant customers are locals and therefore it doesn't close for the season like many in the area. Dress is smart casual. My only recommendation is don't pass on the Steak it's a life changing experience !!
