Caffe Sant'Angelo In Montalcino

We ate very well, simple but excellent cuisine!!

Here, everything is done just right. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, the wine is excellent, and they convey a great respect for the local area. A restaurant that envelops you with a genuine sense of home.

We stumbled upon this restaurant in winter 2018 and were touched by the thoughtful kindness and delicious food. Fast forward a few years and it’s even better than we remember. A small handwritten menu offers Tuscan favorites that a perfect for the season. Everything is made fresh. Service is leisurely and thoughtful. This is a lovely place to eat and drink locally and enjoy the best of Tuscany.

There are still capable and honest restaurateurs out there, and this place is always a wonderful confirmation!

The owner is welcoming and friendly, and the place is simple with a quality, typically Tuscan menu that's delicious. Simplicity always wins, both in the dishes and the people.

A place from another era. Only two people, the wife in the kitchen and the husband serving. I've rarely eaten so well in recent years.

A homey trattoria in the heart of Tuscany: authentic flavors and homemade dishes (pici, pecorino cheese pie, sliced ​​beef, peposo with potatoes, etc.). Exceptional desserts and excellent wines complete the experience. Fair prices, a family atmosphere. Highly recommended—book in advance!

For me, the Sant'Angelo restaurant is a definite insider tip. The food is excellent, the service is very friendly and extremely attentive. The flavors are superb, and the wine selection is excellent and local. I recommend everyone to try Pici alla Gricia. This hand-rolled, thick pasta (pici), tossed in rendered guanciale (air-dried pork cheek), with Pecorino Romano and black pepper, tastes simply outstanding here. Fun fact: It's the "grandmother" of carbonara—simple, spicy, and very aromatic. The Antico Peposo dish tastes just as excellent here. It's a historic braised dish from Tuscany: beef slowly braised in red wine and plenty of black pepper (originally cooked by the pottery bakers, "fornacini"). My absolute recommendation: Come by and indulge your palate at affordable prices.

Home cooking with a bit slow service, but we had plenty of time, so all in all we had a nice evening.

Lovely, small and cosy restaurant with good traditional Tuscan cuisine. Nice and friendly staff, reservation should be made in advance. Highly recommended!
