Cafè Braceria Chianina In Cortona

We discovered this place a year ago and used it as a simple emergency because there wasn't a single free parking space in Cortona Alta. We gladly repeated the experience by returning this year. Once again, it gets top marks! We'll definitely be back next year!

one of the best place for meat in this area. amazing staff amazing food fair prices

Dinner during a trip, as a couple. We were passing by Cortona and decided to stop at La Braceria after seeing the reviews of Braciami Ancora. We dined outdoors in a fantastic tree-lined garden, a lovely atmosphere. The service was very friendly. I spoke with the owner and chef, Stellina, who was truly friendly and helpful. There's a wide selection of high-quality meats, both local and international. This time, we opted for a matured Porterhouse made from a Wagyu-Scottish cross. The meat has a substantial layer of fat: Stellina cut the meat and presented it to us before cooking, explaining that she would use some of the outer fat to flavor/season the meat. We agreed, and it was an excellent choice. The meat was served with some of the fat diced into small cubes, which gave a unique flavor to the already excellent meat. We also tried a carpaccio with mango, a bold but interesting combination. The side dishes are delicious. The tiramisu with biscotti and Vin Santo is unforgettable, not to be missed. I recommend trying it and stopping to talk with Stellina; she'll instil in you her love for her business. The Chianina beef is a must-try. Absolutely recommended. ---------------- Dinner during a trip, as a couple. We were passing through Cortona and decided to stop at La Braceria after seeing the reviews of Braciami Ancora.

Excellent meat, attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes. Top-notch side dishes. Friendly and knowledgeable owners. The only downside, for me, is that it's a bit pricey.

Well-kept restaurant, good and quality food and simple but very precise service, in short excellent.

Best steak Ive ever had! Seriously! Also Very nice atmosphere in the garden with Excellent service from Ena!! She’s the absolute best. Will be returning soon!

After a few disappointing dining experiences in Cortona and Arezzo, we ended up at La BraceriA without any previous recommendation. It ended up being our best dinner in this part of Toscana. Very gentle service, no arrogance and no rush, the lady was quite nice by explaining about the bisteca alla fiorentina. Food was delicious, and the alfresco dinner in the garden was very enjoyable on a warm summer evening. I’m glad we saw their outdoor on the road! Otherwise, we could have ended up in another tourist-trap inside the historical center in Cortona or Arezzo. Cheers to this great local gem!

AMAZING!!! We were not in mood for steak but opted for GNOCCHI WITH DUCK SAUCE... So yummy... veey good wine as well. SUPER RECOMMENDED!!!
