Ristorante La Grotta In Montepulciano

28/06/2025: This place was by far our favorite meal in Siena. Incredibly welcoming and convivial service. It’s hard to explain but this place just has a genuine warmth about it: servers who are proud of their product, eager to answer questions, helpful with suggestions, and just overall salt-of-the-earth folks. The food was also delicious. If they sold it by the quart, I would eat the tonno il Chianti (see photo) every day for the duration of my trip. The Cinghale Brasato was equal parts comforting and unlike anything I’ve had before. The gazpacho was refreshing and a welcome respite from the sweltering heat outside in the streets of Siena. This place is doing something very, very right. Definitely well worth a walk up hill (they don’t tell you about all of the hills in Siena…).
