Fattoria il Poggio In Montecarlo

11/05/2026: This place is just off the "beaten path". We were a little skeptical when we first arrived due to the "less than warm" welcome feeling we got, could be because we were tourists. We were seated outside under a large enclosed double umbrella area with about 9 two place tables that they arranged according to party size. Our "serious" waitress gave us menus in English. We ordered, to share, Ravioli Alla Crema Di Noci, Ravioli with ricotta and spinach in walnut sauce and Filetto Di Pesce Spada Alla Griglia Con Contorno, (grilled swordfish) and choose the Spinaci All'aglietto (spinach sautéed with garlic) as the side. We also ordered a bottle of house white wine. The Ravioli was amazing and the swordfish was delicious, cooked to perfection, very moist full of flavor. The sautéed spinach was also prepared perfectly. The wine was slightly less dry than a chardonnay, but it was a house white and was a good table white. Our total was €70.00 What started out with "is this going to be a good place to eat?" and ended up with an absolutely fabulous early dinner! Definitely a return visit type of place, oh and the not so warm waitress had a very friendly counterpart that was very nice. I'm sure it was just a language barrier thing but in the end the food did all the translating "squisito!"

09/05/2026: I went to this place because of the reviews I read... personally I can say nothing special as people say in their reviews... the pappardelle with wild boar pasta was too smooth and the wild boar ragù was too minced but good... the sliced ​​beef was average... the torta del nonno was excellent... the wine recommended by the waitress was good
