Sax Wine Bar In Montepulciano

This restaurant is such a gem! Came two separate nights while traveling with family. The pasta is absolutely delicious, we also got the Florentine steak which was perfection. Christina is the hostess, server, chef, etc. She is so incredibly kind and attentive. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, and was exactly what we wanted for our final night in the city.

This is such a wonderful restaurant and an absolute great experience! Christina is the owner, waitress and cook! We ate here two nights in a row because the food was remarkable and the service was extraordinary! Give this place a try! It was surprisingly a once in a lifetime! Christina treats you like one of the family! 5 stars isn’t enough!

I read the various reviews... we stayed in the area for a week... It's true that one might question the hygiene, as everything is so sanitized these days, especially in France. In March, in this village, at 8:15 pm, you'd be turned away for dinner (except for one lovely trattoria, Marzocco)! Here, at 9:30 pm, the lady welcomed us with open arms and a smile, and we decided to give it a try. We enjoyed the charcuterie and cheese platter with toasted bread, which was very generous, and the pici cacio e peppe were also good. Yes, as a previous review mentioned, it's undoubtedly more "rustic" than today's pretentious, trendy restaurants, but having traveled the world, I can tell you about the lack of hygiene even in "high-end" restaurants; here, it's only the "simplicity" that gives that impression. I haven't read anything about people getting sick... As proof, the locals eat at this restaurant regularly, which speaks volumes. And the prices are very reasonable... No fuss here... you eat well and with a smile.

We ate here because it was convenient and right across from where we were staying and we were very pleasantly surprised since some of the reviews are not good. The pizza was delicious. (It definitely wasn't frozen like some of the other reviews say. We could see her making it.) The salad was a tasty work of art, house wine was excellent , and the woman serving us was very friendly. She was the only one there so we did have to wait a little bit but it wasn't too long and we had a delicious carafe of wine to enjoy while we were waiting.

We ate here multiple times in November and thought the food was outstanding. We are planning to be back in Montelpuciano in October 2026, and will definitely be back. Authentic and full of flavor with great martini’s

A trattoria serving everything from breakfast to dinner, from tea to wine. Decent food, but the space is excessively cramped and the tables are so close together that one rude customer's flowing hair was buried in our honey platter. The seating was overdone and rather uncomfortable.

As I was walking past, I noticed the cutting board they were serving to some customers. I fell in love with the sight and decided to stop for lunch. I couldn't have chosen better.

Only the pici alle briciole deserve 5 stars 😂
