Ristorante Tonino In Cortona

We had a number of outstanding meals during our week in Cortona, and this restaurant experience stood out among them. Food was top notch (local classics well executed) and service was excellent throughout. Our visit was during the off season, so we did not need a reservation and sat in a room with a large party (and an even larger celebration was happening in an adjacent room--yet our small party enjoyed a quiet meal)...we went for dinner and it was dark, so we didn't get to enjoy the views but their location is perfect for taking in beautiful views of the valley below Cortona. Starting with the "mixed fried foods" (delightful mix of fried veggies, polenta, cheese) with prosecco, then pici with fumo sauce and secondi with chianina beef (tried both the filet with wine sauce and slices with truffle butter)--we had a wonderful meal. A nicely breaded chicken filet with fries was offered to our young son, who enjoyed his meal as well (children's menus are not typical in the region). Dessert (chocolate cake with mascarpone and berries, along with amaro and cappuccinos) and local wine (Cortona syrah) were perfect additions. We highly recommend Ristorante Tonino!

✍️ 🆕️ GOOD FOOD AND A BREATHTAKING VIEW ✅️💥 🍖🍝🥂For lunch, we chose this restaurant for its slightly secluded location compared to the others along the main street and for the option of eating outside on its terrace, accompanied by an exceptional view. The food particularly amazed us: from the lightness of the asparagus flan as an appetizer, to the delicacy of the risotto with zucchini flowers and pine nuts, to the bold flavor of the blueberry pappardelle with white Chianina ragù. Excellent wine selection, and the staff is professional and extremely kind! I will definitely be back and highly recommended! 💯 Was my review helpful?... LIKE 👍

Excellent restaurant, absolutely beautiful. Wonderful food. I was surprised by the unusual, colorful tablecloths, but I found them very creative and beautiful. Luigi's service was phenomenal, and he was also very good-humored. I celebrated my 65th birthday in style. Thank you.
