15/04/2026: Beautiful place, excellent food, impeccable service

14/04/2026: There's not much to say, Osteria del Teatro is a must-visit if you're spending a day in Cortona and the surrounding area. For lunch or dinner. The staff is extremely kind and professional. As stated on the menu, they invite you to ask for recommendations. And we did! Thank you so much, we ate wonderfully!

02/03/2026: Location: The agriturismo is nestled in the beautiful countryside, and we were there on a beautiful day that already heralded spring. The dining room, furnished entirely with wood, overlooked the surrounding landscape, bathed in sunlight. Food: We sampled various dishes from the menu and thoroughly enjoyed the 100% locally sourced ingredients. We appreciated the generous portions and the fact that everything was made fresh, even if this meant a longer wait. Service: The waiters were extremely friendly, offering suggestions and explaining the various dishes. They also offered us an excellent liqueur at the end. Price: I think we paid a fair price for the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area, especially after visiting the La Verna complex.

21/02/2026: An oasis of peace with a pool. A beautiful place with a truly remarkable restaurant. Dishes are seasonal. Every dish is satisfying. Angus cattle breeders are visible on the hills, living free. Even though they're over a hundred kilometers away, we come for lunch every month and have even purchased pre-portioned and vacuum-packed meat. Ready to put in the freezer. Delicious. Definitely a fair price. I sincerely recommend it to everyone.

03/04/2026: The place is meticulously cared for down to the smallest details, very clean, and the kindness and courtesy are undeniable. Excellent food, and the wait between courses makes you realize that everything is delivered quickly. Mind you, I don't mean to say the wait is long. The starter was excellent, with a revisited version of the classic pappa al pomodoro. Today is Christmas Eve, so eggs cooked at a low temperature, followed by Tuscan-style cod. Tuscany Two excellent dishes Very interesting wine list. Impeccable service.

30/03/2026: Excellent dishes and a good wine list at fair prices.

19/02/2026: A heavenly tasting experience! ​We opted for the seven-course tasting menu, which, all things considered, turned out to be quite generous (five would probably have been enough, considering the dessert). The menu is expertly selected: each dish represents an unexpected combination of flavors, enhancing—but never overshadowing—the quality of the ultra-fresh fish at the heart of each creation. ​Praise also goes to the wait staff: they were extremely discreet and professional. Unfortunately, we didn't take any photos, but the sensory immersion was so captivating that we completely forgot about our phones.

17/12/2025: Great food and service, nice atmosphere

06/04/2026: Daniele immediately puts you at ease. The atmosphere is very nice, the food is excellent and well-prepared. The wait staff is very kind.

05/04/2026: Excellent value for money, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Truly excellent food, I'll miss it when I return home. Best regards and thanks again from those in Brescia, north of Rome 🤣😅😘

17/02/2026: 10/10. Friendly, accommodating staff. Fresh, tasty, authentic food. Chilled atmosphere full of locals, which is always a welcomed sign.

15/02/2026: Poor service, excellent food but we suffered for everything else.

10/04/2026: Everything excellent, very rich and very friendly.

10/04/2026: Excellent pizza by the slice and takeout. Friendly and helpful staff.

18/04/2026: We originally made reservations for the day before, but due to a flat tire on the way, had to call and ask to change our reservations to the next day while we waited for roadside assistance. They were so kind and were able to accommodate a move to the following day which we especially appreciated because the dinner out was to celebrate our anniversary. Despite our trouble getting to the restaurant, once we arrived the next night it was all worth it! From the minute we stepped through the doorway until we left it was a beautiful evening! We were seated in on of the cozy tables outside, which was the perfect romantic ambiance for our occasion. Everyone was very welcoming and attentive through the dinner and the food was amazing! We decided to ordered a tasting menu selected by the chef and it was definitely the right decision! I don't know when we'll be back in Cortona, but when we are I do know that La Bucaccia will be our first stop!

12/04/2026: Would’ve ordered half the menu if I could’ve, and what we did get was spectacular. Some of the most attentive service we’ve received in Italy thus far.

09/04/2026: A wonderful stay, everything was perfect. The gourmet restaurant is really lovely. The chef is very friendly.

16/03/2026: A truly stunning and peaceful location. The structure is of the highest quality, immersed in the Tuscan countryside, with a beautiful pool for the summer months and absolute tranquility. Perfect for high-level ceremonies, weddings, confirmations, or communions. High-quality cuisine, both meat and seafood, with intense Mediterranean flavors. Prices are high, but as we know, quality comes at a price. A truly excellent place.
