Restaurants in Montalcino

Two Michelin stars and an 87-point La Liste ranking make Campo del Drago the most credentialed dining address in Montalcino. Chef Matteo Temperini builds a menu around the hotel's own kitchen garden, and the 700-label wine list runs deep on Brunello. Book months ahead for a milestone meal inside the Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco estate.

A twice-decorated Michelin Bib Gourmand trattoria in Montalcino's old centre, Taverna del Grappolo Blu is the right choice for food and wine travellers who want traditional Tuscan cooking — pici, ragù, tripe — and a serious Brunello-focused wine list without a serious bill. Booking is easy, the owner-run service is consistent, and the value case is hard to argue with at this price point.

A Michelin Plate-recognised Tuscan farmhouse restaurant on the outskirts of Montalcino, Boccon DiVino delivers authentic local cooking at €€ — one of the clearest value propositions in the area. The summer terrace with countryside views makes it a strong choice for a long lunch or a special occasion. Book a week ahead for summer weekends; weekday tables are easy to secure.

Pearl Recommended for 2025, Osteria di Porta al Cassero is a compact Tuscan Italian osteria in Montalcino's medieval centre with a 4.4 Google rating from nearly 1,200 reviews. It rewards repeat visits more than a single hurried meal — come back to work through the regional menu and the Brunello wine list properly. Book ahead in summer.
