We stopped at this quirky coffee shop/bar in the centre of Montalcino for a quick coffee. Like many coffee shops in this area, you go to the bar to order an they bring the drink to you at your table. It was a bit more expensive than other coffees we had but was good, so worth it. Lovely for the pretty view of the main square.

Excellent dinner and service. You are greeted at the door by the owner. I ordered the daily special for 30 euro which included an ani pasto platter, porcini lasagna, a beef dish and tiramisu. Everything was fresh and tasty. The lasagna was not the typical red sauce. It was probably the best I have had. The tiramisu was amazing. My wife ordered ravioli with porcini mushrooms and truffle. It was excellent. Cost was 13 euro. I let him pick the wine after describing what we liked and our budget. He did a great job. I asked if they were close and do they do tastings? A few minutes later he brought me a wine map of the area with the winery marked on it. Overall excellent food and service.

What a delightful experience. The price quality ratio of the food is not quite in proportion as I compare it with the restaurants with a star where I may have eaten. It is a very nice experience if you like beautiful food and beautiful wines. We started with a glass of Brut Method Classico after which we had a three-course lunch including wine arrangement. The wines matched perfectly with the food and the service was very good, however, there are still a number of improvements imaginable. They will never receive a star I think, the wine list too one-sided for this but in any case, replace the glasses by glass with Banfi logo and explain the dishes when these are served, small effort but adds to the experience. After lunch a nice tour including a wine tasting, also very worth it!!Dear damyrutjes,thank you very much for your nice feedback about your lunch at our restaurant "La Taverna". We appreciate your comments and please make sure to we will share it with our staff as soon as possible.I just do not understand your comment about the glasses with Banfi logo, as we do not have those glasses at "La Taverna" but only our in our Enoteca WIne-Shop where we offer a complimentary aperitif to our guests and organize the tastings. Having so many visitors at the Enoteca Wine-Shop we believe it is a very nice glass, of course, less expensive than in the restaurant but nice and elegant.We are also glad you enjoyed the tour of the winery.It would be a pleasure to meet you personally next time you come to Castello Banfi and please do not hesitate to contact me directly at [email protected] for any further assistance you may require.Best regards,Juan MiquelHospitality Director

Thank you TripAdvisor. Like most,we were touring the Tuscan wineries and had stopped at Banfi for tasting. Before just blindly heading back to Montalcino, my amazing wife looked up the best restaurants nearby and found this local gem.We arrived around 12:30 or so and the Male proprietor was still finishing off hand writing the menu for the day (already a good sign). He apologized for not being ready but we told him we were in no hurry. Two bottles of wine and three courses later we had finished one of the best meals we had in our 18 days in Italy!! Everything was just so incredibly FRESH and prepared perfectly. The waiter was kind,courteous and helpful with his recommendations and was patient with our spotty Italian.For ambiance there was something so special about this out of the way Tuscan treat! We could hardly recommend it more!! Perfecto!!

The biggest compliment I can pay II Moro is that eating here is like visiting family. The restaurant is pretty basic and far from flashy but the welcome and food make for a great meal.We ordered a selection of starters from various bruschetta to the pecorino cheese with honey and all were simple dishes but tasted great. It was a similar story with our main courses with three of us opting for the pinci ragu pasta which is a local dish but was so tasty and the other in our party enjoyed the veal in a lemon sauce. We ordered a bottle of the Col dâOrcia Rosso wine which was lovely but they also serve a glass of the house red along with a glass of the Col dâOrcia Spezieri wine (both complimentary) - it was great to be able to taste the three different styles.For dessert we shared an ice cream and the cake of the day (which was fab) and a couple of coffeeâs. All told the price came to an incredible 100 Euros which included a generous tip as well as a few soft drinks in additional to the wine - a fantastic meal which was great value.Service throughout was great and from who we assumed were the owners. Itâs easy to see what II Moro is highly rated - they provide simple local dishes which are cooked fresh and cooked really well. We had a lovely meal and would return in an instance.

We have been stopping in this GREAT place for a lunch with some wine producers.It is common to find good restaurants and wine bar in this area but in Svanen you can not only find a great atmosphere and a great food but also an experience of serving that comes from far away.We highly recommend this place where a vast selection of wines, including champagne, is properly described and served.

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.

Pleasant service, lovely atmosphere. Delicious cheese breadsticks. Unusual menu, loved the duck tagliatelle with orange. Anchovyâs were good for those who enjoy them, beautifully presented. Nice wines available by the class. Excellent Banfi white. Unfortunately the ribs while unusual with honey were devoid of hardly any meat. Very disappointing. The desserts were average.
