We found this place by sheer chance on our last night in Cortona. We were trying to find a nice place and we succeeded by far!The front is deceiving because itâs rather plain from the front but inside there is a large terrace where you can watch the sun go down.Four of us ate and drank wine, coffees, shots, deserts and the bill was only â¬88!Everyone enjoyed their dishes; We shared a kilo t bone, fries and roasted veg.Luchia had her ânewâ found favourite of spinach and ricotta ravioli in a creamy tomato sauce tangy sauce.Dad had a huge plate of lamb chopsFollowed by a bottle of wine, shorts, 5 coffees, 4 deserts and a very attentive service!We also had the pleasure of meeting #itsmissavacado and some beautiful Wolves chicks â¤ï¸Thank you

Il Falconiere is both a hotel and a restaurant of the very highest quality. This elegant establishment is set among gentle hills and sweeping vineyards at the foot of Cortona, one of Italy's justly-famous ancient hill towns. This is a place for knowledgeable travelers willing to pay top Euro for a unique experience. While hardly a bargain, Il Falconiere delivers genuine value for anyone seeking the highest European standards in comfort, service and a gorgeous setting. The spa offers all the usual amenities, there is a large swimming pool and the sumptuous breakfast on the terrace is a daily delight. All in all, a memorable experience that will please the most demanding traveler.

The perfect morning break from shopping and sightseeing in Cortona is at Caffe Tuscher. The different styles of coffee...espresso, cappuccino, or American coffee...were all delicious. They also offered an array of delicious pastries to enjoy. After two weeks in Italy, our party was craving a good old fashioned American style hamburger, fries and a Coke. Caffe Tuscher fulfilled our every dream with their delicious offerings.

If youâre looking for something a little different in Cortona, would recommend giving this place a try. Service was very good and the menu has many seafood options. I had the coconut prawns which were very good. For a main course I had the wild boar ravioli which was very good. The sauce was tangy and each ravioli was stuffed with flavorful boar meat. Overall we had a good experience. Dear Roanie1969la Bottega team thank you for the nice words you share describing your culinary experience with us!thanks!we hope to welcome you againhave a lovely weekendkind regradsLina Bartelli

3. Cortona Bistrot

We have been coming to Cortona for 20 years and decided to try a place other than our old favorites. We were sorely disappointed in the flavorless food and chaotic service Perhaps it is to your old favorites that our excellence is annoying, not being of the place and having had many consents.It is clear and evident, the Cortona Bistrot is under media attack. Too many negative reviews have been made in such a short time. Yet since we opened 5 years ago, nothing has changed. I'm in the room talking and serving customers and my wife in the kitchen preparing everything we serve. We are the only local in the area that has a fully-open kitchen and customers love to watch Anita prepare everything beforehand and cook when they order later. With the restaurant always full of customers and with a varied menu like ours, she manages to make everything come out perfectly and with perfect times.With us it is impossible that the food, so-called then in a too general way, has no taste. And all prepared from "0", fresh pasta, jams, sauces, desserts, sauces ... ..The service may be a bit chaotic maybe only when the place is completely full of customers.Hiring 45 seats in two people in the dining room, with excellent service and attention to the smallest details like ours, is sometimes not easy at all. But everyone can understand it.Unfortunately, many of our colleagues emotionally involve some customers in order to do reviews like that. New strategy to increase rankings and receive as many customers as possible. This happens to those who do not shine with their own light and must necessarily harm others to try to emerge.We are increasingly disappointed by the falsehood of many customers who smile during dinner, eat everything we serve up to make the shoe on the plate and then thank them heartily and make the following day, negative reviews, completely opposed by how they behaved instead in the room.We are increasingly disappointed that in this case, TripAdvisor does not protect us restaurant owners from certain premeditated attacks. It is not possible for anyone to write something just because they control the source ID.In spite of everything, we will always be full of customers because now they know us not only in the area. Our success has been determined by a powerful, constant and irrepressible "word of mouth" that has now reached even the large neighboring cities, from which more and more customers come. They come to Cortona to eat with us, they don't come to us because they are in Cortona.These reviews will only increase our notoriety, beyond a stupid classification easily modifiable for everyone's own interests.Thank you all.Forse è proprio ai vostri vecchi preferiti che la nostra eccellenza da fastidio, non essendo del posto ed avendo avuto numerosissimi consensi.Eâ chiaro ed evidente, il Cortona Bistrot è sotto attacco mediatico. Sono state fatte troppe recensioni negative in così poco tempo. Eppure da quando abbiamo aperto 5 anni fa, non è cambiato nulla. Io sono in sala a parlare e servire i clienti e mia moglie in cucina a preparare tutto ciò che serviamo. Siamo lâunico locale della zona che ha la cucina completamente a vista e i clienti adorano osservare Anita preparare tutto prima e cucinare al momento dellâordine dopo. Con il locale sempre pieno di clienti e con un menù vario come il nostro, lei riesce a far uscire tutto perfettamente e con i tempi perfetti. Da noi è impossibile che il cibo, detto poi in maniera così troppo generica, non ha sapore. E tutto preparato da â0â, la pasta fresca, le marmellate, le salse, i dolci, i sughiâ¦.. Il servizio potrà risultare un pochino caotico forse solo quando il locale è completamente pieno di clienti. Sbrigare 45 posti in due persone in sala, con un servizio eccellente e attento ai minimi dettagli come il nostro, delle volte non è affatto semplice. Ma tutti riescono a capirlo. Purtroppo molti nostri colleghi coinvolgono emotivamente alcuni clienti al fine di fare recensioni del genere. Nuova strategia per salire di classifica e ricevere più clienti possibili. Questo accade a chi non brilla di luce propria e deve necessariamente danneggiare gli altri per tentare di emergere. Siamo sempre più delusi della falsità di molti clienti che durante la cena sorridono, mangiano tutto quello che serviamo fino a fare la scarpetta nel piatto per poi ringraziare di cuore e fare invece nei giorno seguenti, recensioni negative, completamente opposte da come invece si sono comportati nel locale. Siamo sempre più delusi del fatto che TripAdvisor non tutela in questo caso noi ristoratori a certi attacchi premeditati. Non è possibile che chiunque possa scrivere qualcosa solo perché loro controllano lâID di provenienza. Malgrado tutto, noi saremo sempre pieni di clienti perché ormai ci conoscono non solo in zona. Il nostro successo è stato determinato da un potente, costante ed irrefrenabile âpassaparolaâ che ora ha raggiunto anche le grandi città limitrofe, dalle quali provengono sempre più numerosi clienti. Vengono a Cortona per mangiare da noi, non vengono da noi perché si trovano a Cortona. Queste recensioni non faranno altro che aumentare la nostra notorietà , al di là di una stupida classifica facilmente modificabile per interessi propri da chiunque. Grazie a tutti.

We took our bikes here for lunch from Villa di Piazzano. The owner, whose family has owned the estate for generations, was clearly born for hospitality. He turned his family farm into a hotel and restaurant and has done a wonderful job. The food and service were incredible, and aspire no doubt to the region's second Michelin star (the only one, as far as I know, is Il Falconiere). I think he'll get it with patience.
