Il Parallelo In Castiglione d'orcia

Had a delicious meal, great atmosphere! Daniela and Mateo are incredibly hospitable!

We are walking the Via Francigena and stayed in Gallina. In the evening, we ate here at Il Parallelo, a tip from our host. We had a delicious meal in a very welcoming atmosphere for a very good price. The host, Matteo, and hostess, Daniela, are lovely, hardworking people who know how to make everyone feel at ease.

Excellent traditional restaurant. Very good food at a fair price.

Good food, friendly service. Prices are in line with the Val d'Orcia region. It would be nice if the restaurants open for lunch during the day offered a slightly more relaxed menu, to give those on the go a chance to stop for work. Overall, it's a good place.

We've been living in Italy for years now, sampling tiramisu whenever we get the chance. This tiramisu is definitely our top 3 in Italy at this point.

A little gem on our cycling trip. Excellent food, vibe of the 43' parallel and a really nice owner/waiter! The Tiramisu really hit the spot!

Great food and nice owner. Try tiramisu

We are walking the via francigena and was fortunate that this amazing place was open in March. We had a fantastic dinner with perfect flavours. This is the best meal we had in Italy. Thank you so much!

After a stop at the Bagni di San Filippo with my family (there were four of us), we relied partly on chance and partly on reviews and chose Parallelo for lunch. The atmosphere was simple, the service attentive and friendly. Everything was truly delicious! The onion corton was amazing: we asked for seconds.

A pleasant return to a historic restaurant for those like me who live near the Val d'Orcia. The restaurant's name, "Parallel," comes from the fact that right where it is located, we can see the sign for the imaginary line of the 43rd parallel. We had a quick and simple meal; we were just passing through. As an appetizer, a lovely crouton with porcini mushrooms and pecorino cheese was delicious, followed by two gnocchi with ragù. Everything was cooked the old-school way, it couldn't have been otherwise. Nothing has changed from the past; it's a long-standing fixture, and we're happy with it. The coffee was really good, and as the owner says, the powders make the difference. Amaro was offered! We really enjoyed it. See you next time.
