13/09/2025: Dining at Trattoria Toscana al Vecchio Forno was a true pleasure for the senses.
The atmosphere is refined but not ostentatious, warm and welcoming, with a garden that seems straight out of a Tuscan postcard. It's the perfect place for those seeking a relaxing evening, immersed in the beauty of the village and surrounded by inviting aromas.
The cuisine is a celebration of tradition, yet with a touch of elegance. Handmade pasta, local and seasonal ingredients, dishes tastefully presented and, above all, flavorful and well-balanced. The main courses are surprising in their delicacy and intensity, while the desserts make you want to order another one right away.
The service is attentive, friendly, and never intrusive. You can clearly sense the passion of those who work here, and their desire to offer not just a meal, but a memorable experience.
The wine list is extensive, with many beautiful Tuscan labels, including carefully selected wines by the glass.
A must-have for anyone visiting the Val d'Orcia and wanting to enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine in an authentic and refined setting.
A pearl of taste in the heart of the Val d'Orcia
Highly recommended.
13/09/2025: An authentic and unforgettable Tuscan experience
During our stay at the wonderful Relais Palazzo del Capitano, we dined several times at Trattoria Toscana al Vecchio Forno: a true gem in the heart of San Quirico d'Orcia.
The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and perfectly in tune with the medieval charm of the village. The outdoor garden is simply enchanting, perfect for a romantic dinner.
The food? Extraordinary. From the handmade pasta, to the delicate and flavorful main courses, to the desserts that seem to have come straight from a family recipe book. Each dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients and with a care that is evident at first bite. All accompanied by an extensive wine list, featuring select local labels.
The service was impeccable: courteous, attentive, and always smiling. You can sense the love for the region and the authentic hospitality.
Being guests at Relais Palazzo del Capitano made everything even more special: it was like living, for a few days, in a Tuscan dream. The experience is complete, harmonious, and profoundly authentic.
Highly recommended, both for those seeking authentic Tuscan cuisine and for those who wish to experience the soul of this extraordinary place.
We will definitely be back.
