Ristorante Al Travato In Monterchi

The “Al Travato” Enoteca in Monterchi is probably the only 'always open' restaurant, from Monday to Saturday, that can always be found open in the small Tuscan village. It is located in the upper square, near the fortress with the tower and the clock. What is certain is that in such a small and almost completely abandoned village it is really difficult to find anything else; if it weren't for that much 'talked about' painting by Piero della Francesca there probably wouldn't be a living soul! The Al Travato wine shop offers very simple but decidedly abundant dishes, unfortunately the food didn't win me over! The prices are not cheap, just move a few km towards Umbria to eat the same things at a more advantageous price!

After visiting the Museum of the beautiful Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca we walked up the Monterchi fortress and had lunch at the Travato wine shop which was the only place open for lunch. The table was under the foliage of the trees in the square and despite the hot and sunny day we had a really good time in the cool. Inside there is also a wine and food shop. The food was excellent and the service was very kind and friendly.

This is a little gem of a place! We went last year for fresh coffee and pastry’s . This year we decided to go for a late lunch and sheltered under the trees. As it was 38• Again it was lovely. The food was fresh and delicious. One of the party had Truffle ravioli-which he said was delicious. The deserts were amazing -tartufo especially. Definitely try here !Enjoy
