Il Grifo In Montalcino

Long wait times for orders, small portions, and rather stiff service. One of the ordered dishes (grilled vegetables) was missing, and an extra bottle of water was added to the bill. All of this added up to a rather disappointing experience.

We had lunch at this restaurant in the center of Montalcino... Pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and truly delicious food... Highly recommended are the pici all'aglione.

We went to Il Grifo for dinner in December. A very charming, well-maintained restaurant with a beautiful table setting. The wine list is extensive; we chose two glasses of Brunello by the glass, which seemed way too expensive (€12 a glass), not so much for the price itself but for the amount poured into each glass—just a finger's worth of wine... a bit too little for that price! For main courses, we had a truly delicious mushroom tart with pecorino cream. The tagliatelle with wild boar ragù and the wild boar in dolceforte sauce with sautéed chicory were nothing special; we expected them to be more flavorful and with more character. An appetizer, a first course, a second course, and a side dish cost about €90. A bit too much in our opinion, especially since two out of three dishes didn't live up to expectations (obviously in our opinion). Nothing to complain about the quality of the products, but the value for money was a bit below expectations.

Very delicious meal. Great pastas and steaks.

A small but welcoming place. The Etruscan rabbit was exceptional, and the beef was delicious. The side dishes were also delicious. The desserts were the final touch: exquisite tiramisu and a surprising hazelnut semifreddo. The waiter was very professional and helpful.

The food is amazing. The porcini mushroom flan with pecorino is a must-try. The service, unfortunately, is a letdown. They weren't very interested in the guests and quite slow. However, I give it a 5/5 for the amazing food. It's worth it.

Fantastic place. Cozy and beautiful environment, great service and amazing food. Highly recommended!
