Osteria Lo Spugnone In Castiglione d'orcia

Delicious food and drinks Lovely people

We were welcomed and pampered like family! The attention to detail in the dishes was not accidental! It left us wanting to return.

The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, and the extremely kind owner welcomed us and made us feel at ease right away. She's knowledgeable in recommending the best wines, and she knows how to present each dish beautifully, describing it with passion. We ordered appetizers, two different first courses, and two different second courses to sample a variety of dishes, and we finished with a bang with dessert, all strictly homemade. I can only say that, after the first bite, I was moved; it was a wonderful culinary journey, a pleasure for the palate and the soul. We returned the next day for lunch and can confirm that it was truly worth it. The price is fair and the cuisine is truly excellent, definitely worth trying. Highly recommended.

From the cheese platter to homemade pasta with Chianina ragù, ravioli with venison filling and pecorino sauce, to bresaola/Chianina carpaccio accompanied by a local white wine, everything was very good. The service was extremely friendly.

Very good coffee! Thanks again to the managers for helping us restart our van with the electrical cables while we were lost in the nearby forest. Their help and good humor are heartwarming. Thank you, mile 🙏

Fabulous, the atmosphere, the place, the dinner... everything was good and Marta was super... so much energy

My partner and I absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. We were lucky enough to be in San Filippo during the autumn and so we were able to enjoy their porcini dishes! I had the soup with spelt and porcini, the best meal I had in Tuscany so far!

Everything was really excellent!!!

This place is a true hidden gem! Don’t be discouraged if it looks closed or quiet when you arrive, it’s probably open. Just go inside, knock on the door, and talk to the family. You’ll be glad you did. Everything here is homemade with fresh, local ingredients, and you can truly taste the love in every dish. I had their pasta with olive and tomato sauce, grilled chicken, and salad, all absolutely delicious. The family who runs it is so kind and welcoming, and the lady in charge is wonderful. It deserves way more customers and attention, because this was honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in Italy while traveling through many cities. Highly recommend!

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant I've tried in Val d'Orcia. The aromas emanating from the kitchen were simply fantastic, and the flavors lived up to expectations. The location is rustic yet welcoming, and the owner is friendly and kind. I believe it's family-run. If you're visiting Bagni di San Filippo, it's a must-visit.
