La Terrazza Del Chiostro

Yes, this restaurant has some of the most beautiful views in Pienza, but that is not the reason to go. You must try them for the incredible food and service! The family who owns the restaurant is so welcoming. We felt at home right away. And the food is a delicious balance of tradition and innovation. We enjoyed everything we tried and will without a doubt be back the next time we’re in town. Don’t miss this!

The terrace view alone is worth the visit — absolutely stunning. The olive oil served with the bread was a real highlight, so flavorful. For starters, we had an unusual dish: a very slowly cooked egg with a kind of cheese foam (interesting but tasty!) and a salad. For mains, we ordered the T-bone steak, which was excellent and came with roasted vegetables, as well as pasta with truffle — also very good. For dessert, the pavlova was a bit disappointing as the meringue wasn’t right, but the caramel-filled cannolo was delicious. We paired everything with a Pinot Grigio, which was a great choice. The service was warm and attentive throughout. It was my father’s birthday, and they surprised him with a candle and “buon compleanno” written on the plate — such a lovely touch. Overall, a beautiful place with excellent food and service.

One of my best experiences since i came to italy, staff is very friendly and show much respect and always have a smile on their face. The florence steak was fantastic and all of their others on the menu is delicious. Hope i have a chance to come again

Go there for the view, not the food. Great service, stunning sunset from the balcony. Food left us underwhelmed: rabbit and red onion ragu was overly sweet from the caramelised onion and honestly the rabbit could have been anything….had no flavour of its own. Roasted chicken was okay, but the accompanying sauce was over reduced and tasted burnt. The other dashes of sauce brought colour only as I couldn’t tell what flavour they were supposed to be. By far the most expensive dinner of our trip, but with a view like they have it’s almost worth it…..almost

We arrived on a cold, wet, March evening for an indoor meal and with little expectation, but it turned out to be superb. The decor and ambience was perfect. Service from the two brothers was perfect, with a competitive interplay between them which added some fun. Food was great and the pricing was fair. We were lucky because it was not busy, but this was one of the best meals we had during our time in Italy

We had our welcome dinner here the night before our wedding and it was such a highlight for us!! Maurizio was so kind, friendly and absolutely incredible - he made us feel so comfortable and like nothing was too hard. The food, drinks and view are truly out of this world 🥺

Exceptional service and food! Absolutely recommed it if you are in Pienza. Too windy to sit on the outside terrace; it has an exceptional view of the Val d'Orcia!

I can’t understand why this restaurant doesn’t have a 5.0 rating! The setting is spectacular with a terrace overlooking the hills and valley below, the food wonderful, and the service was a highlight of the restaurant part of our week in Italy. Two very capable young brothers keep the place humming and keep the humour flowing. They work for their uncle who owns the restaurant. This is a family business that deserves recognition for great food and service in a stunning location

The Stephanie Herman Show would like to offer Ristorante La Terrazza del Chiostro 4&1/2 stars. This is very high for me. We must come back another time. It's the feeling of family and community that I love with exceptional food. Everything was wonderful - the food exceptional. The service charming from their whole family and perfect. The view to die for. We started out with their cocktails which was unusual and great. Then the salads with olive oil and thirty year old balsamic that you'd want to buy. Entree a mixology of pastas cooked in a clam sauce. The dessert delightful. Coffee so good. Check out all the photos and make reservations as soon as you can. Tell Maurizio I sent you.

Wonderful food, made with love and care. Full taste and lots of vegetarian options. Elevated dishes with innovative twists. A delight to all seances. Chef Massimiliano is a wonderful contribution to the culinary world. The service is professional, knowledgeable, elegant and kind. Maurizio, the owner is one of the most beautiful, kind and loving persons I have met. It is always the high point of my trip. The ambiance could not get more wonderful. The restaurant is located on a terrace with the most fantastic Tuscan view possible.

We came here for drinks and the views. I didn't really care for the service here. Not the friendliest of people, and they take a very long time.

The most stunning views in Pienza. The service was great, they gave us a table (group of 10) without a reservation within a few minutes. The food was excellent, specifically the risotto.

We went to LTdC a few years ago and thought it was good, but the addition of Chef Moreno from Michelin-starred La Porta has transformed it into outstanding. The terrace has a stunning view, the service is excellent, and the food is incredible. But definitely make an advance reservation! We can't wait to go back.

Overlooking the valley, great meals, appetizers. Had the skewered chicken, zucchini appetizer, bruschetta, PCC pasta, great views, great service, just slightly out of the main drag

The view was the best part of the dinner. The service was not good as the waiter was not attentive and actually slammed one of the local vineyards. Food was sparse and over priced. There are much better places in Pienza.

This is beautiful restaurant, nicely located and has most beautiful view of Pienza. It is part of nice hotel. The staff's are very friendly and the food is great. We love the place and the appetizers, main course and desert. What I love about this place is the knowledge of the staff about the food and wine. Keep it up.
