Description: Montepulciano is a magic city which offers its visitors unforgettable memories. A steep, winding road will lead you to a medieval hill town with a wonderful view over the surrounding valley. L’Osteria del Conte is situated in one of the town centre’s main streets, near the renowned Sanctuary of San Biagio and ontepulciano’s Fortress. After several years of experience in enogastronomy and catering, Lorena together with her son, Paolo, decided to open this cosy little restaurant in Montepulciano, where you will have the possibility of tasting the genuine, delicious dishes offered by the Sienese cuisine.

We hadn't reserved, but were able to get a table outside on a cool, windy evening. They brought everyone sitting outside blankets to place on our laps. This was a lovely touch that was much appreciated. I ordered grilled vegetables as a starter and my husband had the pici al'aglione. Both were ok, but my vegetables were not seasoned at all. When the table next to us received theirs, it had olive oil and balsamic drizzled over top. For our mains, my husband had the tagliate al rosmarino and had some difficulty with the amount of fat in the meat. I was very excited for the bavette al tartufo, to which they kindly agreed to add some funghi porcini. It looked beatiful, but tasted like nothing. No flavour whatsoever. For desert we shared some fresh strawberries with lemon. We had a nice experience at the restaurant, as I mentioned up front, the service was very good. I wish the food had matched the service.

Dined here for lunch on the recommendation of a local shopkeeper and was not disappointed. We wanted light pasta lunch and opted for the ravioli burro e salvia and pici all’aglione and were pleased we did. The pasta was excellent simply prepared but very tasty. Local wine by the glass choice could be better. Price for the meals was very reasonable. Would dine here again.

Our hotel suggested this tiny place and it didn’t disappoint. Tables packed in tightly. Grandma in the kitchen and son running the front. Make a reservation!! All the food is great!
