Osteria La Porta In Pienza

I honestly don't think this place is worth the hype. After reading so many good reviews we booked a lunch there. The reservation was not necessary because the place was absolutely empty. We had tartare and beetroot tartare and then pasta with truffles and pasta with yellow tomatoes (this was absolutely the worst of the dishes we ordered). Menu seemed interesting but all the dishes we had were just mediocre, nothing special, they lacked the twist, flavour, the taste was very boring. All of them required additional seasoning. So we left disappointed. I don't see how this place could get Michelin recommendation, maybe it changed a lot since then? We had plenty of better meals in Tuscany. Yet this place is more expensive than most of the places in the area. On the good note, the stuff was nice and very attentive. Overall, I think you can easly skip this place if you are in the area and look for something else.

Super restaurant, delicious pasta!

Food was very good. Year of bottle of red served was not identical as on menu; but elegantly solved. Nice place

Foods are very good and refreshing. Service is very friendly!

We went to Daria's in Monticchiello for dinner and can't say enough good things. We started with a platter of truly exquisite Pienza pecorino cheeses, aged in varying degrees, accompanied by jams that enhanced their flavor. Next, I chose pici with garlic and yellow datterino tomatoes, a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish, while my companion opted for pici with white Cinta Senese ragù: both truly exceptional. The quality of the ingredients is evident, from the cheeses to the hand-rolled pici, to the carefully prepared sauces. They were probably the best first courses we tasted during our stay in Val d'Orcia. The service was a bit slow due to the absence of a member of staff in the kitchen, but the staff was extremely kind and transparent, apologizing several times and offering us a homemade grappa at the end of the meal. A gesture we greatly appreciated. Highly recommended for those seeking authentic Tuscan cuisine, customer service, and a relaxed atmosphere.

It was a reaffirmation! Excellent food, great service, and a refined atmosphere. It's essential to take the time to enjoy this experience!

Great food, served beautifully, and excellent service.

We booked a table online. There were four of us, two adults and two children. We arrived at 6:30 pm because the table was booked for 7:00 pm. And we did the right thing, we parked the car calmly in a large parking lot 3 minutes' walk from the restaurant. After dinner, we caught the most beautiful sunset. The place where the restaurant is located is like a picture. The views, the sunset and the old, very nice, well-kept town, incredibly soulful. Now about the food. We ordered pasta with truffles 5 out of 5, pasta with yellow tomatoes 5 out of 5, pork 5 out of 5, pasta with wild boar meat, a bit too fatty for us, so 4 out of 5. We also ordered Italian eggplant, not our dish. We tried three desserts: tiramisu - good, carrot cake - seemed dry, from chocolate with gongonzola cheese, my husband was delighted. Huge selection of wines. I recommend it if you visit this region.

Retornando na Osteria Lá Porta após 15 anos. Os donos são outros, mas o charme é a vista do lugar são os mesmos. Recomendo o papardelle e porqueta. A carta de vinho é ampla e tem para todos os bolsos e gostos. Em geral é um restaurante honesto e atendentes são atenciosos. Vale a Vistita Monticchiello

Um restaurante acolhedor com pratos maravilhosos. A carne estava divina. Há estantes com grande variedades de vinho.
