La Guardiola Wine & Food

Very good food. We ate several times here so we tried from Tuscan soup to pastas. Everything tastes wonderful

Very good gelato and capuccino, very kind waiter and amazing view really recommended:)

We came to the tiny Tuscan hilltop village of Monticchiello to have a wander around. The town’s piazzas and little alleyways are stunningly beautiful. We were looking for a late lunch and La Guardiola was the only place still serving food. Set on the outskirts of town, with a rustic courtyard overlooking the rolling hills, it initially felt less polished than some of the other restaurants in town. But the music, service, views, shady courtyard and most importantly, the food, were spectacular. The food was so fresh, nicely presented, generously proportioned and well priced. There’s even an icecream servery in the courtyard. I’m so glad that we found this restaurant. Perfection in a perfect Tuscan town.

Thank you for the service and the great free „antipasti“ with olives, cheese, ham,… We tried some redwines and buyed a bottle of brunello di montalcino 2018 in autumn 2024 and today we enjoy it. 😍

We came here in summer and stopped spontaneously for a bite to eat. The food was fresh and very tasty. We loved the wine and the very friendly service. Not to forget to mention the great view from their terrace/garden.

Amazing place and really amazing coffee 😍❤️

Cute little wine bar with a nice outdoor seating. A beautiful view over Val D'Orcia you don't want to miss! Staff is very friendly and gave us great recommendations on where to do wine tastings. We bought two bottles of wine from there which were amazing!

This is first time, that I have given a one star review. At first everything seemed good. Good selection of food and a great view. But then the service turned out to be the worst I've ever experienced. First of all we were ignored, guests who arrived after us were served first. Since we hadn't even received a menu card, we asked very politely twice. He then became very unfriendly and told us that he would take care of us straight away. At this point, almost 15 minutes had already passed. That was the point at which we left the restaurant. Unfortunately I can't give a review about the food. We cannot recommend this restaurant.

The location is superb looking down on a Tuscan valley and hillside as far as you can see. We barely made it in before they closed their kitchen for lunch. In fact, a family came in just after we sat down, and they could not get any food except drinks and dessert. The mixed Tuscan crostini plate (photo) was very good with several Tuscan specialty meat and cheese, chicken pate, fresh ripe tomatoes...my wife said she had the best salad with tuna (photo) ever. I thought every ingredient was very fresh. With a Yelp check-in, you'll receive a complimentary glass of procecco (Italian sparkling wine) which was very nice. Overall a great dining experience here. If you're in the vicinity of Monticchiello, Italy, this is a must stop. There's a large free parking lot within a five-minute walk. Highly recommended.

Great place for a drink and antipasto. Fantastic views and great service as well as prices. I would highly recommend spending an evening here looking at the sunset. It is located across the street from osteria la porta. Park for free on the street or down the streets parking lot.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the meal. The service, the food, and the view were all exceptional.
