La Taverna del Pian delle Mura welcomed us with their honest, warm hospitality and bounty of earthly cuisine made with ingredients most of which are biological and sourced from the Monte Amiata region. To start we had the carpaccio of chianina, deliciously tender beef at its best.. then enjoyed an assortment of pasta, such as pici (fat, flatish type of spaghetti from the Siena region) with cherries and prosciutto, tortelli di ricotta al ragù bugiardo (tortelli filled with ricotta and served with a white ragu) (the tortelli was our favourite) and then a succulent oven roasted rabbit stuffed with ham and herbaceous rosemary. As sides we had sauteed dandelion leaves - the bitterness of which is great for digesting the rich food, and the zucchine, which were great qua flavour, but perhaps a bit too over-oiled. We were washing this down with the house wine, excellent for a house: a Rosso Montalcino, a fruitsome (cherry) red with that a nice dusty plum twist of an everyday sangiovese.Although quite satiated, we carried on into desserts, soft almond cakes doused in hand made custard accompanied by an array of self or locally produced liquores, including one made from dogs rose (Rosa canina) or one that we especially liked made from blue Hydrangea petals. I imagine it would be a delight to return in autumn when one can feast on their culinary art using locally procured harvest of porcini and castagne (mushrooms and chestnuts) and to try also the strozzapreti made with chestnut flour, among much else. We will, we shall, we must return!

Whilst on a vacation few days for some much needed Rest & Relaxation my partner and myself stumbled upon this little gem. What a great evening we had! The food beer and wine were all exceptional. This is one of those times when you would not hesitate in recommending a great place to eat knowing that those that you had directed there had a great time too.

This restaurant came recommended by the owners of the accommodation we were staying in. We booked a table and were pleased to learn that the chef/owner spoke English. On arrival our party was made to feel very welcome and the chef came out to speak to us and to suggest a starter course of antipasti to share. We readily agreed and then also ordered our mains etc. The antipasti was the best I have ever enjoyed in Italy or elsewhere. There was so much to choose from that we all felt we need not have ordered anything else. The pasta course was also delicious and the desserts too. The next day the chef sent a message hoping that we had enjoyed our meal which I thought was a very nice touch. A lovely experience and a lovely meal-thank you.

I Tre Rioni is a restaurant with rooms in the picturesque village of Campiglia D'Orcia. The tables are set with heavy damask and wooden platters bearing the restaurant name; the walls have a decorative 'country' feel , all contributing to a nice atmosphere.We were greeted with complementary toast and lardon, then enjoyed a tasting platter including a variety of delicious meats, cheese, vegetables and toasts. The star dishes of our primi were pasta with garlic and tomato, and spinach and ricotta pasta with cinnamon sauce. For secondi we enjoyed a mediaeval recipe of turkey with chestnuts, seafood pasta and pork chops with side dishes of porcini mushroom, oven baked vegetables and potatoes, spinach and steamed vegetables. For dessert we had lemon sorbet. It was actually very hard to decide what to choose, as there were so many tempting dishes on the menu.The restaurant has deservedly won several awards - long may it continue to do so!

This restaurant was able to accommodate 18 people on a half hour notice. Even though they donât have a set menu they quickly created one that included 3 anti pasta, 2 types of pasta and meat. The menu is limited but the great food makes up for it.

We had a lovely meal here after an evening in the hot springs - there is a real homely atmosphere in the restaurant, which appears popular with locals and tourists alike. We were there mid week in winter and at 9pm local families poured in. The food was delicious and the restaurant beautifully decorated and maintained. They even lit a fire for us!

E' stata una gradita scoperta. Pensavo fosse un locale di servizio estivo vicino la piscina, invece ho scoperto un posto favoloso con Cucina Ottima e straordinaria. La Pizza dei miei commensali l'ho divorata con gli occhi, poiché non potendola mangiare mi sono rifatto con un buonissimo tagliare di antipasti assortiti dall'impiattamento impeccabile. Ogni fetta era disegnata come fosse dispiegata per emozionare la tavola, e poi ho preso una TAGLIATA straordinaria dal cottura al Sangue come ha suggerito Giovanni lo Cheff. Mentre Matteo ha seguito le portate al tavolo, curando elegantemente ogni dettaglio. Il tutto circondato da simpatia e disponibilità del personale. Solo l'arredamento è assolutamente da rivedere, per carità pulito e semplice, m assolutamente non al livello della cucina. In ogni caso Meglio la sostanza che la sola estetica, quindi ci tornerò sicuramente anche con la famiglia. Complimenti Grazie e a Presto

My friend and I were headed to Bagni S. Filippo today and passed Contignano on the way. We stopped on a whim at the Ristorante La Fattoria. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We were seated out back under an umbrella. We ordered chicken scallopini with the mixed salad. The chicken was fresh and very tasty, not like typical American chicken. The salad dressing was wonderful and the BREAD was the BEST we have had in Italy by far. Wow was it good. The dessert was a concoction suggested by the waitress with peaches, ice cream, chocolate and a cookie on top. Yum. The whole meal with wine and coffee was 17 euros, a very good value. This is a great place for lunch and don't forget to take your bathing suit and check out the spa at Bagni S. Filippo afterwards.Grazie mille signore, sono molto contenta che siete state bene, spero di vedervi ancora nel mio ristorante , anche avervi ospiti nell' albergo. Ciao Enza

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.
