Concert by Irene Grandi with her "Io in Blues" tour, exceptional determination, songs that range over time from her successes to Mina and the greats of the blues. Masterful setlist, thrilling interpretations and reinterpretations, great musicians and a lighting service that would be the envy of a stadium.

(Translated by Google) Very simple but well-kept park, with tables, benches and barbecues available. (Original) Parco molto semplice ma ben tenuto, con tavoli , panchine e barbecue a disposizione.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful structure, visited for the 2023 Tuscany Regional Sports Dance Championships and I must say that the structure is well organised. A big flaw, the Parking. (Original) Bella struttura, visitata per i campionati Regionali Toscana di Danza Sportiva 2023 e devo dire che la struttura è ben organizzata. Un grosso difetto, il Parcheggio.

(Translated by Google) The park is large and very beautiful but not well looked after: more routine maintenance is needed. Fortunately it is free to enter. Excellent for children, there is a decent fenced and shaded play area: safe and cool in summer. Demonstrations are often held inside and in Palamontepaschi, which is therefore interesting and sometimes crowded. It has ample room for improvement. (Original) Il parco è ampio e molto bello ma poco curato: occorre più manutenzione ordinaria. Fortunatamente è ad ingresso libero. Ottimo per i bambini, c'è una discreta area giochi recintata e all'ombra: sicura e fresca d'estate. Spesso vengono fatte manifestazioni al suo interno e nel Palamontepaschi, quindi interessante ed a volte affollato. Ha ampi margini di miglioramento.

(Translated by Google) Nice large park, we went for conferences. You can bring pets. (Original) Bel parco ampio,noi siamo andati per delle conferenze . Si possono portare gli animali.

(Translated by Google) When the park was functioning at full capacity in the 80s I attended a concert by Edoardo Vianello... there was an oceanic crowd, probably 5000 people waving from the stands (where the Montepaschi stadium is now located). Now few people walking. (Original) Quando il parco funzionava a pieno ritmo negli anni 80 ho assistito a un concerto di Edoardo Vianello... c’era una folla oceanica, probabilmente 5000 persone che facevano la ola dagli spalti (dove ora si trova il palazzetto montepaschi). Ora poche persone a passeggio.

After reading the reviews, we decided to visit this museum whilst in Chianciano. The six euro admission was very worthwhile. Over four floors, the varied exhibition had finds from archaeological digs in that specific region, uncovering a fascinating array of objects, painting a picture of the Etruscan people. Manned by volunteers, and subject to charitable funding, an absolute gem. A minor gripe would be that some of the audio visual guides aren't great in English, but there is plenty of other information to help. Perhaps some kind student reading this review could offer to help the museum with this small issue? It was wonderful to watch the video about the actual find in 1997, then view the objects on display.

The exhibition in the basement is unique and what makes this a great etruscan museum. They show artifacts found in the tombs. After having visited many empty tombs, it was nice to see what was in the tombs.

What a pleasant surprise ... An interesting walk back in time. A small museum worth a stop of 1:30 hour . Historical period well represented , several floors to explore. Limted guides or translated material, nonetheless very interesting.

What an incredible place to experience and learn about etruscan history and society. Affordable with great language translations and QR code accessible videos. Must visit if you're at Montepulciano. Only 15 min away.

Well worth a visit. Good value (€6) and the exhibits are really interesting, and backed by really helpful translations driven by QR codes. The added benefit is the basement which is really cool and a respite from the burning temperatures outside. Particularly strong on the social history of the Etruscans. The museum would benefit from a more helpful overview at the start to allow the visitor to understand the exhibits in their totality and also to get an overall perspective on the Etruscans as a people. But definitely well worth a visit.

Very nice collection, well-organised, really recommended with kids too.

Just to see the jewlery in the basemet was worth to visit the museum! Amazing

Nice Museum worth a visit not much parking space around me but the affluence is very slow during the day

A journey into antiquity in a modern and pleasant way. In the museum there are 4 floors to visit and I was pleasantly surprised by the underground one. The volunteers guard the museum for the sake of history.

Beautiful

Simple, beautiful, expressing faith.

Nice local restaurant. Worth the trip. Tastfull dishes for a fair price. Nothing fancy, just good food and a friendly face.

Best place in town ! Food is excellent service is warm and kind !welcomes you like at home.

Really tasty food in small, simple, inexpensive restaurant. True Italy.

Cute stop on the way up to Montepulciano

Our group had an assortment of pasta, pizza, spinach, & bruschetta. Everything was delicious! We tried to order multiple side dishes of their spinach because it was so good. It’s a small cozy place and we had to make a reservation prior to dining in.

A little expensive, employees friendly but short staffed. Food nice, English translations were funny.

Cosy, authentic suuuper tasty. I was expecting great food and my expectations were exceeded. Try the seasonal specialties and the house wine. Michelin guide for a reason.

Fantastic restaurant and very reasonably priced. Most mains are under a tenner, with a litre of house wine for €5. Went there on our first night in Tuscany and everything we ordered was perfect. Ordered pasta, grilled lamb and mixed grilled meat. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. One of the best meals we have ever had. This is what Italian cuisine is all about. Would eat here again in a heartbeat.

Mmm mmm! We highly recommend this place. They served all guests a glass of Prosecco, on the house. The traditional spinach and lemon dish was so good that we ordered a second plate! Generally, I do not enjoy pork but it was flavoured and cooked to perfection. The tomato sauce on the rabbit was divine! A litre of house wine for 5 euro! Well priced and amazing food!

Very simple and traditional rural restaurant, the foods is simply amazing!

Great little Italian pizzeria. Everything is self service even the drinks which are ordered via machine near the door. Seating indoors or outdoors. Everything is freshly made including the pizza's in a modern gas fired pizza oven. Two large beers and two pizza's for €23. No negatives. Second visit made a few days later with possibly the tastiest pizza I have ever had.

The best restaurant in Italy. Very good service, awesome prices and top quality of the food. Very fresh and very delicious. Big portions and the very fast service. If I come again to this small village I will definitely go again to this restaurant.

A great find. Solid pizzas and a simple ordering system. Make sure you check the machine though as there are lots more options available compared to the paper menu. Pizzas are Neapolitan style with good ingredients and go straight in the oven when ordered.

Interesting place. Grocery store, pizzeria, grill - everything in the same room. Half self-service. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Recommended. Hot food section closes at 15:00

Delicious authentic pizza. The dough is extraordinary. The restaurant is a neat concept - you order the food at a computerized ordering station, get your drinks at the counter, then wait at the table for your number to be called out. The wait isn’t long and it’s great quality. Kid friendly, family friendly environment, we loved it!

Great napolitan pizza and super cool stuff 👍

A very interesting kind of pizza and you have also meat selections. A McDonald automated kind of ordering system and a gentle serving. I recommend it for a quick and delicious bit during the day

The food and service is lovely! Be aware that is place is a deli and not a restaurant. = no table service. We enjoy the casual nature of the place once we understand how it works. We shared a unique style of pizza, salad and dessert for lunch and it was simply perfect. This is also a specialty shop with some gourmet selection to take home.

This may just be the best pizza we've had in Italy. The bases were insanely light and flavourful. We highly recommend!

One of my favorite places in Italy - the best pizza we had on our entire trip. My husband and friend agreed, we went twice. I built my own pizza with the senza lattosio buffalo mozzerella and gluten free crust. It was incredible, bubbly crust. They have a separate area for gf oven and I felt very safe. It's more casual than most places we went, but wow, best pizza of my life.

A wonderful Tuscany restaurant, very classy, elegant, beautiful interior, great choice of wines and food is just a smth incredible! Beautiful soft music and friendly and very professional personnel! In Tuscany it’s difficult not to eat well, but here everything I tasted was delicious and fresh!

One day we spontaneously came to this restaurant looking for a place for dinner, and I would visit it again, again and again. The staff was very friendly and attentive, they even suggested some “homemade” locals for free. Based on their advice, we tried several dishes, and they were amazing. They made a pasta, and many ingredients by themselves, and I believe it’s why it was very tasty. Sorry I don’t have many pictures since I was focused on the delicious food.

Great food. Excellent service and cozy atmosphere. To be honest, was some of the best pasta I had in our whole trip around Italy.

This is an experience not to miss. The utterly real and charming proprietor Osmond made a table for us on a busy Saturday evening. The food and service did not disappoint. From the pumpkin soup to the semifreddo it was all superb. Would highly recommend you try it.

Excellent food and service. We got recommended to go here by our host where we were staying. Had the truffle gnocchi (on special) which was delicious and unique. Would recommend.

Wonderful service and food! Osmund made us feel very welcome and treated us wonderfully!

We had a great experience, The fresh pasta was amazing, 2 vegi dishes, A refreshing panna cota and a service which was just legendary.

Weather forced us to choose a primarily indoor restaurant for dinner so we chose Ristorante Alessandro, which for us turned out to be the best decision we made in Tuscany. I sent a reservation request over Google chat, not trusting my Italian enough to call. Alessandro responded promptly that they could indeed get us in and before long he was greeting us warmly at the door. At first glance the restaurant didn’t look like anything special but you know what they say and books and covers, right? This hidden gem was indeed a masterpiece. Our Italian is pretty limited but that was no issue as Alessandro and our charming waiter, Talita, spoke very good English. The menu also has English translations. So with the language challenge solved we started exploring the menu. As we did, we found ourselves humming and grooving on the pleasant background music - the playlist was a brilliant mix of new and old and included everything from Barry White and Elton John to David Bowie and Whitney Houston. Just my kind of eclectic mix of music. Ah, but I digress. As we were perusing the menu we were served a complimentary Prosecco as well as a small but simply scrumptious fried cheese ball with a lemon mayo sauce. It was then l knew that fate was on our side and we had absolutely made the right restaurant choice. We read another review about the writer’s doubts of the value of a €16 fried egg and its ultimate payoff, so we too knew we had to give it a go. So my wife ordered it and in her words: “This is the best thing I’ve eaten in our 2 weeks in Italy.” And she wasn’t wrong. It was simply delicious and I strongly suggest you try it as well. As for me, I opted for the TarTar and was equally impressed with my choice. The little crouton-like cheese bits along with the tiny balsamic balls brought together an amazing mix of flavor and texture to this superb dish. For our main course, my wife ordered the lasagne which was a lovely presented and deliziosa plate. It wasn’t your typical layered lasagne but rather a brilliant creation of individually wrapped pasta tubes with creamy cheese and sauce inside each. I chose the pappardelle cinghiale which, like the lasagne, had a super creative plating and was absolutely divine. I can tell you that the plate you see in the picture didn’t have a crumb of food in it by the time I was done. Just outstanding. We capped things off by sharing the chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato and a salted caramel sauce. Once again, sublime! And before I forget, the wine list Alessandro put together is fantastic - a great collection of wines from the region. Unfortunately these words just don’t do justice to the brilliant work and creativity of chef Simone Cianco who is a true artist in (and out of) the kitchen. Nor can they express our sincerest gratitude to the genuine warmth and kindness shown to us by Alessandro and Talita. I’ll end with this last observation. We ate at a Michelin star restaurant earlier in our journey and Ristorante Alessandro, in comparison, surpassed them in plating, creativity, and taste by a mile. So if you’re reading this review you simply MUST go! You will be so glad you did.

Lovely team, very creative food. Outstanding quality. Everything was amazing

It's an amazing food experience. A hidden gem in the heart of Chianciano. Traditional recipes with a twist, to combine great authentic taste and local ingredients in new unexpected forms. From the entrees to the desserts everything was outstanding and delicious. The staff was extremely nice, professional and knowledeable. We came here by chance one night during our Italian vacation (we now live in Canada) and this food really made me feel it's time to move back to Italy.

The food was seriously so good! One of the best meals we’ve had in Italy so far (and we’ve tried a lot, I can tell you that). They made excellent use of local products in their dishes and had the best wines to complement each dish. The waiter was also super kind and friendly. If you’re looking for a really nice meal, I highly recommend going to Ristorante Alessandro!

Fantastic host Alessandro providing a great experience for guests. Sincere in his conversations and his staff had great techniques in their dishes. We also left a bag and he was kind enough to contact us as we had made a reservation via Google. Good man 👍

Went here because of all the great reviews. I would consider myself a foodie especially when it comes to Italian food. Honestly do not know if I came on an off day, but the Ragu was extremely salty, my partner had it too and also found it extremely salty. The egg was good but it was also quite salty and underwhelming for the price you pay - I would prefer a proper ‘Scotch Egg’ any day over this. The bread and olive oil was delicious though and the service was great. But the price you pay here is just completely unjustified. I would suggest a simple Italian restaurant where you pay €12-15 for a pasta dish instead. You can’t go wrong in Tuscany/Italy usually!

Very good, friendly and professional restaurant. Food is geared for tourists and served in a very elegant way. The wine collection is outstanding and the owner is a wine expert, happy to share his understanding and speaks good English. Service is a bit of an overkill using flowers and honey in the plate decoration. I had a glass of Rose wine with the very interesting first course of wiled boar. Moved to local red wine with the main of a duck and the owner sent me a third glass of sweet wine for closing. Except for the furniture (see the pictures), it was an outstanding experience. Obviously, the best choice in the area

This was one of the best meals we had in 6 weeks in Italy, and also one of the best value considering the quality. An absolute hidden gem, not to be missed if you are in the area. The food was of fine dining quality, the wine list is extensive, and service was warm and efficient.

I typically never post reviews but we had such an incredible experience here that I felt the need to post about it. This small restaurant is run by Alessandro himself, who was a kind host throughout the evening. We were served with a small appetizer on the house, in addition to some bread and (delicious) local olive oil. The food itself, wow. Aside from it's posh presentation we've not been this mind-blown in a long time by the deep fried egg served with pecorino cheese, bacon and spinach. The owner told us this was his experimental way of presenting the same flavor combination as a typical Carbonara pasta. Honestly, it was phenomenal. The remaining dishes continued to surprise and delight us. We drank the recommended local Montepulciano wine and Prosecco, which were tasty. We've now driven through most of Northern Italy and this restaurant ranks at the very top of our experiences. A must-try if you are in the Montepulciano region.

Foodies from the USA here. While waiting, you may wonder… is $16 for a fried egg too much? And then it arrives, and you realize that you’d pay so much more! From the beef tartare, to the wild boar over pasta - absolutely fabulous 😁

The food was delicious but portions were quite small. Good thing is that they had gluten free options. The staff was attentive until we got our food. Later we tried to get their attention for 10 minutes to order dessert. After dessert, we wanted amaro but couldn't get anyone's attention so we just left.

We only had a starter and pizza’s , starter was ok but the pizza, it was terrible, definitely the worst pizzaI have eaten by far, small base, hard with a stodgy top. Pity as I have passed this place for years and so wanted it to be nice.

Where the locals go! Excellent pici with local garlic and tomato sauce. Amazing quality of the pork chops and steaks. Country style desserts. Friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Will come again- really a special place.

Great Tuscan Restaurant before entering Chianciano Terme. Family business. Clean and kind. Dish of the day always recommended.

Lovely warm welcome when we arrived. The food was very good and the waiter wasn’t upset with us when I asked to cook the spaghetti a bit longer for my father. Still and sparkling water free and the prices are very low for food. Highly recommended!

I think we had worst bruschetta in my life . Pasta pici was just ok but pizza was terrible. We can buy similar frozen pizza from supermarket. Prices are low but what's the point to eat low quality food. We will never come back here.

has a small playground, beautiful garden. Food is very good too.
