A spectacle of a place, it was part of my vow renewal, religious ceremony at Pienza Cathedral and reception at Chiostro Terrazo was an extra surprise. The surrounding landscape is impressive. Wonderful food and service.

Contrary to some of the reviews that I have seen, we found service to be excellent. The food was very good. And the view is absolutely dropdead, gorgeous.

Restaurant with a beautiful terrace, overlooking the valley.
We ordered a bottle of wine and, without asking, they brought us a cheese board and two trays with savory snacks and olives. All very welcome, congratulations!

A wonderful place with equally wonderful people working in the dining room and kitchen. I went for lunch and dinner many times, as did all my family and friends. We have also had wedding events here which were all beautiful. See you soon ❤️

Lovely place, located on land overlooking the valley and with a very nice adjacent swimming pool.
The service and staff were very polite and kind.
The only sore point was the food which was too refined and reduced in quantity, at least for my palate.

A dinner above all expectations! This restaurant is a true jewel in the heart of Val d'Orcia, where every detail is taken care of with passion and professionalism.
We started the evening with an aperitif.
Simone explained to us in detail his creation of the Montalcino sour and the Ameridino (cocktails created directly by him), needless to say they were crazy.
Mattia instead took care of our table during dinner, welcoming us with a smile and a kindness that is not always taken for granted.
The menu offers a selection of delicious and creative dishes, prepared by the chef with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Here typical Tuscan products are mixed with the Campania influence of the chef and Maurizio, owner of the restaurant.
Note of merit for the bread, homemade by the kitchen guys, especially for the casatiello revisited with Tuscan sausage and pecorino.
Each course was an explosion of perfectly balanced flavours, and the presentation was no exception either.
Mattia explained the various courses to us with precision and competence. The rest of the staff were also kind, attentive and helpful, making us feel welcomed and pampered throughout the evening. The elegant and relaxing atmosphere made the experience even more pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an unforgettable evening of good food and excellent service.

We had the immense privilege of working with Maurizio for our wedding welcome dinner in September 2024, and words can hardly do justice to the exceptional experience he created for us. From our very first meeting, Maurizio went far beyond our highest expectations, accommodating every change we made with grace, patience, and an unwavering desire to ensure everything was perfect. His attentiveness and dedication were truly remarkable.
To say that Maurizio is the nicest man we've ever met would still be an understatement. He has a genuine, heartfelt care for people that radiates in everything he does. His kindness is so rare that it left us in awe—he doesn’t just want you to have a good experience, he wants to give you the best experience of your life. We have never met anyone like him, and we feel incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with someone so special.
On the day of our welcome dinner, Maurizio somehow managed to make everything even more perfect than we had imagined. He coordinated every detail flawlessly—and, in true Maurizio fashion, even made sure the weather was ideal! The entire evening felt magical, and that is all thanks to him and his wonderful team.
One thing that touched us deeply was the way Maurizio and his family treat their guests like family. It’s obvious that La Terrazza del Chiostro is a family-run establishment, and that warmth shines through in every interaction. At the end of the night, when we couldn’t get a taxi back to our hotel, Maurizio’s nephews, Mattia and Simone, personally arranged to drive us back in their car!!! We were completely floored by their generosity—it was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for us, and a perfect example of how Maurizio and his family truly go above and beyond in every way.
La Terrazza del Chiostro is an absolute hidden gem in Pienza. If you didn’t know where it was, you might think it belonged in Milan, New York, or Dubai. The food is simply spectacular—sophisticated, elegant, and every dish is clearly created with immense thought and passion. The fact that Maurizio and his family have managed to craft a restaurant that maintains the warmth and heart of a family business, while delivering cuisine that rivals Michelin-starred restaurants, is nothing short of extraordinary.
Maurizio didn’t just meet our expectations—he exceeded them in ways we couldn’t have imagined. He made our welcome dinner an experience we will treasure forever. He is, without a doubt, the nicest man in all of Pienza, and we are so incredibly grateful to know him. If you have the chance to visit La Terrazza del Chiostro, you are in for a truly unforgettable experience.

Beautiful place to relax, have dinner and take in the view of the glorious Tuscan countryside. And of course the food was fantastic. As were the wait staff.
