Ai Quattro Venti In Montepulciano

Excellent dinner with friends, the bruschetta very good and fragrant, pappardelle with white Chianina ragù to lick your lips, the pici with Tuscan ragù ten and praise, the tagliata with lard very special and delicate!!!!! Friendly, professional and friendly waiters. Excellent bill too!!!!

Absolutely perfect. The servers, Beatrice and Marcello, are great and know how to make good jokes to create a great atmosphere. The t-bone steak is highly recommended.

Very delicious food and excellent service! My husband and I had the gnocchi with rosemary and the tagliata di manzo locale, lardo di colonnata e pepe rosa and everything was very delicious

Three meals in 24 hours. That's how important this food is. At Ai 4 Venti. These four genuine , warm, welcoming food, wine, and drink lovers have done everything right. Marcello welcomes you to a free table in this mostly packed small table experience. First off... and I know this is potentially an odd suggestion, but get the beans. More on that later. Generous portions of exciting home-cooked Italian fare with Eastern European influences couple geniunely throughout the menu. You're offered the standard bread, local olive oil and balsamic tableside along with a small dish of what I believe was Parmigiano Reggiano. While we were there, they offered a special black truffle menu. We had the Pici pasta with white sauce and black truffle which was divine. Homemade pasta was the star of this dish followed by the generous slices of truffle. Our main dish was the steak Florentine (when in Montepulciano I suppose) which was expertly grilled and was served with a 6 pack of various delicious salts to choose from. Sides included the beans and a vegetable puree which was very unique and tasty. Dessert was Tiramisu in a cute taracotta style flower pot. A bottle of local (affordable) wine from Marcello's recommendation was a perfect accompaniment to this delicious meal. As we walked out, we were offered two lemoncello aperitifs as we ventured back the beautiful hills of Montepulciano with plenty of leftovers and talked the whole way back about our wonderful experience. Day 2. We had both lunch and dinner. Lunch samplings included the pappardelle pasta and local seasoned beef, again the beans, and a wonderful sweet and sour onion dish that was completely new to us. Dinner was stuffed tortelli, 4 cheese w/pecorino gnocchi which was pillowy, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of various peppercorns. Marcelle served us two well-crafted cocktails and offered the lemoncello again on our way out. During our dining experience, there was consistent outbursts of laughter and joy coming from the kitchen from the two chefs. There is such rich love and life in this place and it vividly expressed in every dish. The chefs join you at the table.. warn you not to eat too much bread before starters and first course. This place was everything we'd hope we'd experience in a meal in Tuscany. The beans. This is the simplest dish we had served nearly in a humble bowl with minimal garnish. This would seem to just be a filler dish... I mean, everyone's had great beans, right? The problem is that we can not stop talking about them. The beans were buttery, silky, and the csrnival of flavors exist not only in the decadent sauce, but inside each and every legume in every bite. Perfectly seasoned, familiar yet just out of reach flavors that excite the pallette and send you out of Italy to a Romanian home kitchen. In short, this is a must-eat restaurant, worth the train and bus ride across Tuscany to visit. Also, get the damn beans people and please give these 4 wonderful people back all the love and life they put into their food.

This place is extraordinary!!! The regional Tuscan food (including hand made pasta) is so delicious. Highly recommend the Romanian specialties too (they have a few Romanian chefs and hats off to them - so delicious). The restaurant was also so family friendly - they have a high chair and even a changing table with nappies and wipes! After weeks of changing our baby on bathroom floors, what a wonderful sight!! 100% recommend.

Amazing!!! A little gem in the heart of Montepulciano. Well done!!!

Excellent food as well as service, kindness and professionalism. I ate some amazing Pici all'aglione...

Aperitif with excellent wine and Tuscan crostini: highly recommended

We had a delicious New Year's Eve dinner in this nice, cozy restaurant. We went for the sea food option, and it was GREAT! Beatrice, Marcello and Mihai made our night full of joy. Claudia and Manu made our delicious dinner. Thank you guys for a great food and time!

Siamo arrivati in quattro senza prenotazione dopo che altri due locali ci avevano rifiutato... Il ristoratore gentilissimo ha controllato la piccola sala e poi c'ha detto che che avrebbe riservato il tavolo dopo 45 minuti. Abbiamo mangiato due antipasti toscani, quattro primi differenti, due tagliate con lardo e patate al forno, il tutto accompagnato da buon vino, dolci caffè e digestivo offerto dalla casa. Ci aspettavamo un servizio sbrigativo visto l'orario e invece siamo stati a tavola per ben due ore mentre altri tavoli si alzavano e venivano immediatamente rioccupati. Le porzioni erano abbondanti tant'è che siamo usciti e molto sazi. Abbiamo speso circa 40€ a testa ma è la cifra giusta se si vuol mangiare bene come abbiamo mangiato noi. Se torneremo a Montepulciano sicuramente non ci dimenticheremo di prenotare.
