Castello Banfi La Taverna In Montalcino

We had two dinners at La Taverna while staying at Il Borgo at Castello Banfi. First was a four-course tasting menu (plus amuse-bouche to start and cookies after dessert) matched with four wines (plus sparking wine to start). The second night, we ordered from the al la carte menu and had two classic Tuscan dishes: Pici al Ragu Di Cinghiale and Bistecca alla Fiorentina with a bottle of Banfi Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura. The service is very friendly and attentive and the setting casual and comfortable. A great place to eat!

I enjoyed a multi-course lunch as part of the Banfi Excellence Tour. It was a great way to cap off a stay at Banfi with both equal parts tasty Tuscan food and exceptional wines. All around good service in a setting at the Banfi estate that evokes visions of a good Tuscan life. A definite must if touring the wine region but its popularity means planning ahead with a reservation.
