The Italian word 'Pieve' signifies a small rustic chapel and accompanying buildings. La Pieve at Poggio alle Mure near Montalcino in Southern Tuscany fits this description to a T. Tucked away alongside an unpaved road that runs through the vineyards of the Montalcinese Brunello, the settlement has a serene and sequestered air. The very stones that form the courtyard reek of history and good wine. The aromas floating through from the kitchen have a similarly intriguing appeal...La Pieve is a small hotel so it is possible to stay there and become part of the scene. Sadly, we were only able to visit for dinner - but if our experience was typical - then envy those who have the foresight to reserve a room.The dining room at La Pieve is elegant, airy and hung about with cool white drapes. However, we chose to turn our backs on this splendour to eat on the terrace - literally in amongst the vines. Our meal was served by family members who were friendly, knowledgeable and concerned that we should enjoy our meal, their hospitality and the glory of the setting. Thunder was rolling in the background but the storms stayed away and the evening mellowed in parallel with our mood. Dinner was typically Southern Tuscan but a cut above that which we experienced in other well-recommended restaurants on tour. A magnum of Nobile de Montepulciano from Poliziano (at a remarkably modest price) proved perfect accompaniment to our meal although we did regret missing out on the opportunity to try the homegrown rosato and rosso. Next time for sure.After eating we were shown inside the Pieve itself; a romanesque chapel lovingly restored and furnished with truly outstanding modern terra-cotta artwork. Long years of vineyard history and faith to send us on our way happy, full and thankful that we had decided to call by.La Pieve deserves to flourish. All right-thinking, food-loving, vineyard-stepping historians should make a detour to enjoy the hospitality and the remarkable setting. We were surprised that signage proved to be low key and inconspicuous. Maybe the owners have decided that hordes of diners would diminish the 'specialness' of this unique nook. Do yourselves a favour, pay a visit and drink deep of serenity and graciousness that surrounds La Pieve.

The husband has a passion for wine and it was obvious. The wild boar with polenta was delicious as was the ravioli. Service was attentive and good. With only two courses we enjoyed our two hours at the table immensely. By the way, the breakfast at the hotel has three windows looking north that offer tremendous views from this citadel city.

Positives:Excellent serviceView near the window is wonderfulWine list has a wide variety of regional selections, and the advice was knowledgeablePresentation of dishes was niceNegative:The food. Each dish we tried offered a creative approach to preparation, but the overall results were only average to good, nothing excellent. There are other places in town where one can get equal or better flavors at less than half the price.I can only think that the top reviews given by others were driven by their need to assign high marks to a meal that was expensive.

When you are greeted at the door like you are entering someone's home, you know you are in for something special. Massimo introduces himself and shakes your hand really making you feel welcome. The food was just as good as the hospitality. We enjoyed the pici al ragu and fettuccine al pesto, both really fantastic. It is a bit difficult to find so leave yourself a few minutes and wander this quiet but adorable Italian town and take in the views.

If you are planning to be in Montalcino and love great food and warm hospitality, make a reservation here for the most wonderful lunch. Currently serving lunch and also hosting cooking classes. From the minute you arrive Alessandro gives you the biggest and most enthusiastic welcome. And his wife, Manuela is an amazing chef who creates delicious and beautiful dishes. Along with other family members, they run a a real farm where the majority of the ingredients are from. Six of us dined here our last day in Montalcino and if we came the first we would have returned many times. We adored everything about Locanda Dametra. Bravo to this family for creating such a special experience.
