The Osteria del Leone, as documents testify, has always been part of the life of this ancient village. Located in one of the townâs oldest houses on the corner of Via dei Mulini and the square with the thermal pool, it has four welcoming, hospitable rooms
We visted on a Saturday night and expected it to be busy which it was. The service was warm and greeting however, service staff was limited and the waiting after being seated was extensive. The staff (only counted 3 for service) were exceptional under the circumstance.That being said the food was excellent and the ravioli with white truffle sauce was exceptional, I'd say the best I've ever eaten. Our appetizers and main course were great.Thank you Ray, all perfect, excellent, but you gave us only 3 out of 5!!! Why have you been so severe?Best regards.Antonio Cassisi

The Fonte alla Vena Inn is a warm and welcoming restaurant in an ancient building of historical importance which has recently been renovated. It is on the Cassia Road, close to the village of San Quirico d'Orcia close to Montalcino , Motepulciano and only
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.

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!

Just wanted a quick pit stop meal, and saw this small place with its interesting menus on chalkboards outside, and a table in the street opened up so we pounced, and were glad we did. The waiter had good English, nd we were able to chat a little. The wine was tempting but as I was driving I stuck to Water. My wife had a very good Duck Salad,good flavour and good portion, and I had an anchovy and pesto Bruschetta. Really tasty. Recommended

The walk from Querico D' Orcia, along the Via Francigena, was amazing! We arrived in Castiglione D' Orcia a little after sunset. Though there were no hotel rooms available in town, a staff person at the Le Rocche bar helped arrange a room for us, in a beautiful house with an amazing view of the castle. Thank you! We returned for dinner after checking into our room. It was wonderful. Friendly staff, efficient service and tremendous food. One of the best meals of our trip.

Nice place, great views over the Orcia valley close to the restaurant, good food (traditional but creative) and nice waiter (dynamic and enterteining even though he was tired). My daughter liked the pappardelle/tagliatelle very much, she even took two portions of them. It's a family businness (like many) with the passion of doing it and you feel it.

A group of us were walking one stage of the Via Francigena. Our accommodation was also organised by La Cisterna nel Borgo. We were warmly welcomed by the very vivacious Marta, who was extremely helpful. Dinner was delicious and wine excellent. The restaurant was very atmospheric.

Large glasses. Powerful.Flavours & fragrances, subtle blends between our plates and close natural herbs.A welcoming family feel, and so professional.An efficient service, always al tempo.A Pasta, full of finesse.A Tagliata, full of aromas.& Dolce... - the BEST Tiramisù of the (culinary) galaxy, with top black crumbled chocolate,- Fragole with basilico, and a subtle white chocolate mousse,- Crispy Contucci with a delicious Sicilian dessert wine, bottle on the table.& a lemon digestive della Casa, much better than the ordinary limoncello.Squisito!& excellent quality-price ratio (120â¬, incl. 50 for wines)We shall come back!C&E

Fantastic panorama and location. (= Podere Casella) The room was clean, spatious, and with a nice bathroom.Everything is well thought of, nice and cosy design mixed with functionality.The family is very nice and helpful with tips, must see's, history and options for the dinner (we had half board). But they leave you with plenty of room for relaxing and privacyThe location is quiet (like the area) and breathes the old warm ItalyWe would definitely recommend it! (Aanrader!)
