Bar Jolly In Poggibonsi

09/03/2026: A few days ago, on the first day of our holiday in the Val d'Orcia, we dined at this osteria located in Poggio Rosa, about 3 km from Castiglione d'Orcia. A rustic and simple restaurant, it offers traditional Tuscan cuisine. From a good wine list, we chose a Dirimpettaio Orcia Riserva 2022, a full-bodied Sangiovese. Their specialty, however, is the Florentine steak, grilled by the owner. The meat was excellent, perfectly rare; we ordered the minimum cut, 1.5 kg, accompanied by beans al fiasco (flask-cooked beans) and roast potatoes. Naturally, already full, we moved straight on to dessert: classic cantucci with Vin Santo and ricotta with honey. Water and coffee rounded out the meal, bringing the bill to €160 for two (€102 for the Florentine steak alone; the price of €6.80/hg is perhaps a bit higher than the average for other restaurants in the area...). A highly recommended place.

01/01/2026: Fantastic experience! Small, welcoming place, the owner Marcello seems like a typical old-fashioned host. We had fabulous homemade pici with wild boar ragù and a fantastic Florentine steak, 10 out of 10!!! The ricotta tart was also excellent. Highly recommended!
