Ristorante La Grotta

Beautiful restaurant near the San Biagio Temple. Very professional service and ambience is serene. Food is excellent fine dining level. Wine list is extensive and the waitlist knowledgeable. Overall a very enjoyable experience. The same level of food, service and ambience will be easily 3-4 times the price in the US. Highly recommended.

We were thrilled that our hotel was able to secure a reservation for us at this restaurant on Christmas Day. The ambiance was magical, with a live wood fire crackling in the room and elegant taper candles adding a warm, festive touch. We enjoyed the pre-fixed Christmas menu, and each course was beautifully presented. The duck, in particular, was a standout-perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the evening. This was a truly special dining experience, and we’re so glad we had the opportunity to enjoy it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional food and a cozy, inviting atmosphere!

Super dinner,great food ,wine and top service. We had a very good time.

One of our favourites in Montepulciano. Wonderful staff, amazing food, great wine selection. Try the bistecca!

La Grotta in Montepulciano is more than just a dinner; it’s a true culinary experience. Everything here is top-notch – from the expertly paired wines to the flawless service: attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The small amuse-bouches from the chef are surprising and delightful, leaving us in awe with every course. Absolutely my top choice in Tuscany!

The owner of the property we are staying recommended La Grotta and I'm glad she did. Every course was excellent from the asparagus flan, guinea fowl ravioli, pork wellington and then finishing with the strawberry pavlova. Wine choices are good too, although we only had a glass and a negroni. Service was excellent throughout. We booked and you probably need to as season moves on. You won't be disappointed.

Our last night in Montepulciano and we are so glad we kept the reservations for La Grotta. We know have three fantastic/outstanding restaurant options in Montepulciano. L'Alto, Porta de Bacco and now La Grotta. The atmosphere is perfect and the service was impeccible. The bread basket contains three choices of great breads along with EVOO. The main server recommended for us to share the Cuttlefish tagliatelle with panzanella. We would have never ordered that dish and it was so darn good. WOW. My main was a suckling pig belly wPeaches chutney and sesame and again we had a WOW fantastic dish. My partners dish was the oil poached salted cod fish wPuttanesca sauce and stracciatella cheese and it was a solid dish for her. We also ordered a side of potatoes and they came out in a metal pan looking like a Spanish Patatas Bravas but without the sauces. It did not need sauces because those potatoes were awesome. We finished off with a shared creme brulee dessert which was awesome. The wine recommendation by the head server was also spot on - wow. Overall a fantastic experience and we will return to La Grotta on our next Tuscany visit.

La Grotta is by far one of the best places to eat in Val D'Orcia! It is more than a simple restaurant...an unforgettable dining experience! - The location is top notch: enjoying our meal by the Duomo of San Biagio? Could not get any better than that. - The service is outstanding: very professional, attentive, and courteous. - The aesthetic of the restaurant itself is absolutely stunning: the attention to detail is impressive. Great atmosphere, and beautiful and elegant decor. - Last but not least..the food (including their wine list) is INCREDIBLE. There was not a single item in the menu that we did not like, and the presentation of each plate was impeccable. We loved La Grotta so much that we dined there 7 times during our trip! Cannot wait to go back again :)
