La Locanda Di Fonte Alla Vena In San quirico d'orcia

Michelin-starred restaurant Excellent cuisine Superb wine

An intimate, family-run restaurant where you immediately feel at home. The staff are very friendly and the food is excellent, especially the seasonal appetizer with poached eggs, asparagus, and pecorino cheese. We also found all the other dishes excellent. When we return to the area, we'll definitely be back.

We were four people for lunch and ordered four plates of pici (three with ragù and one with garlic), two desserts, four biscotti, a bottle of wine for €20, and three coffees. I must say that the first courses were good, as were the desserts: nothing to complain about the quality of the food. What really left us perplexed, however, was the final bill: €140. Frankly, it seemed excessive for what we ate, especially considering the rather simple dishes. Furthermore, the location wasn't particularly charming, being on the road, so the high price couldn't be justified by the atmosphere or the setting. The feeling was a bit of an "inflated" price, and it's natural to wonder if being tourists had a bearing on it. Maybe not, but unfortunately, that's the perception. In short: the food is good, but the value for money didn't convince us.

Welcoming place, excellent quality food and very kind and helpful staff

Some of the best meat dishes in the area, great quality ingredients, lovely and attentive service. I have been here a few times and it keeps improving. Menu presents some innovative dishes that change regularly - one of my favorite places in Val d’Orcia.

We had a wonderful time! The service, the food, and the welcome were superb!

This restaurant is a must-try if you're in San Quirico. Everything is delicious, from appetizers to dessert, and the extensive and select wine list complements everything. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff are the icing on the cake. The quality/price ratio is absolutely beyond reasonable.

Exceptional. We had dinner here on Saturday evening... we had a wonderful time. EXCELLENT food, friendly, attentive, and helpful staff. Appetizer: poached egg with asparagus (off the menu) was wonderful, the flavors of every single ingredient were enhanced. Main course: Florentine steak and baked potatoes. The meat was excellent, it melted in your mouth. Desserts: a white chocolate Namelaga and a Ricciarello pasta with lemon gel, both also exceptional in flavor! I highly recommend it!!!

A weekend of fine dining, truly honored. I ate a steak of the highest quality and skill in its cooking. The restaurant has a delightful rustic atmosphere and the staff are friendly, attentive, and never intrusive. I highly recommend it... the dishes speak for themselves, and the salad was a bouquet of flowers. Congratulations, and I hope to see you next time.

The restaurant is well-organized for reservations and parking directions. Service is fast, and the waiters are friendly. The food is decent but not particularly impressive: the peposo sauce is flavorless and too runny, the porchetta is a bit too greasy, and the eggplant has too much tomato sauce. Desserts are served in a bland manner with little personality. The wine list could be improved in terms of number and selection of wines, as well as the wine service, especially when pairing with the dishes.
