A fantastic evening spent dining in the warmth of a magnificent fireplace, tasting delicacies in a truly evocative environment.
As an entree we were offered a tasty pear, walnut and bacon flan paired with a glass of white Toscana igt (Trebbiano and Malvasia grape varieties).
We then had as an appetizer a poached egg with white truffle and pecorino cream, a truly elegant and delicate dish and finally a SUBLIME Chianina, which for its tenderness, perfection in preparation and taste absolutely ranks at the top of my personal list.
My partner then closed with a dessert that I don't remember now, but which she appreciated.
The evening was enriched by a Nobile di Montepulciano from the Boscarelli winery

Absolutely worth booking a reservation if you're in the area.
This place has delicious food and great wine. I particularly enjoyed their onion soup. I really can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

A great restaurant with great service. The rooms inside are tastefully decorated and there is a small garden with a view of the church. The menu is excellent and the food is cooked to a very high standard. A really recommendable restaurant at the gates of Montepulciano and with enough parking spaces leaves little to be desired…

Nestled in the heart of the charming Italian town of Montepulciano, there stood a quaint ristorante called La Grotta. The restaurant, known for its delectable cuisine and warm hospitality, was a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
Owned by the Lucciano family for generations, La Grotta was a symbol of tradition and authenticity. The family took great pride in using only the freshest local ingredients in their dishes, and their recipes had been passed down from their ancestors.
One summer evening, a young American couple, John and Emily, stumbled upon La Grotta while exploring the winding streets of Montepulciano. The tantalizing aroma of freshly baked bread and herbs drew them towards the restaurant, and they decided to give it a try.
As they entered the cozy eatery, they were greeted by the warm smile of the owner, Signora Lucciano. She led them to a table near the window, which offered a breathtaking view of the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany.
The couple was immediately captivated by the ambiance of the restaurant. The walls were adorned with vintage photographs and paintings, giving the place a rustic and homely feel. The soft music playing in the background added to the romantic atmosphere.
John and Emily were both food enthusiasts, and they were excited to try the local delicacies. They ordered a bottle of the famous Montepulciano wine and perused the menu, which was filled with traditional Italian dishes.
For starters, they had the bruschetta, made with tomatoes, olive oil, and fragrant herbs. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and it left them wanting more. Next came the pasta course, and they opted for the homemade pappardelle with a rich wild boar ragu. The flavors were bold and robust, and it was clear that the dish had been cooked with love and passion.
As they savored their main course, a succulent beef tenderloin in a red wine reduction, they couldn't help but admire the skill and expertise of the chef. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was a symphony of flavors.
By the end of their meal, John and Emily were completely blown away by the food and the warm hospitality of the Lucciano family. They thanked Signora Lucciano and promised to return before their trip to Italy ended.
Over the next few days, John and Emily became regulars at La Grotta. They were always greeted with a warm smile and treated like family. They even got to know the Lucciano family and learned more about the history of the restaurant.
On their last night in Montepulciano, the Lucciano family surprised them with a special meal, featuring all their favorite dishes. They laughed and shared stories over delicious food and wine, and it felt like they were saying goodbye to dear friends.
As they left La Grotta that night, John and Emily knew that their experience at the ristorante had been one of the highlights of their trip. They couldn't wait to come back and relive the magical moments at La Grotta in the future.

Situated in Montepulciano directly oppposite the magnificent San Biago church, dining at Ristorante La Grota is an unforgettable experience. It has a lovely patio in addition to well-appointed indoor seating. Meals are perfectly orchestrated by a father and son, and abetted by a charming and knowledgeable staff of waiters. Arriving at the table you are presented with an assortment of breads and cheeses with balsamic vinegar. Appetizers we enjoyed were poached egg with truffles, Tuscan tomoto soup and liver pate on toast with vin Santo syrup. Entrees included pici with truffles, roasted pork and ragu with wild boar. Desserts that stood out were mascarpone with coffee ice cream and a lemon meringue pie. We ate at la Grotta 3 times and were never disappointed. Make a point not to miss la Grotta.

Oh my!….this place is well worth finding! It’s opposite a magnificent 15th Century church and the food is outstanding.
We shared an aubergine tart to start which was ‘melt in the mouth” delicious. Then my other half had a pasta and chilli main course-fab, but spicy-and I had the sea bass-likewise excellent. We finished with the most sublime slice of lemon meringue pie.
It was a wonderful treat, made even more special by the charming service.
