Osteria del Conte

They were very accommodating for a group of 9 and set us up on the patio. The pasta with duck sauce is amazing.

Simple and like the best Italian food, the focus is on high quality vegetables, meats, and pasta and skilled preparation. One of the best meals I’ve had in Italy. Many non Italians, yes, but from all regions of Europe. Hey folks, and particularly Unilocal Elite, you can both help and harm local businesses with your swarms and elitist snobbery of what’s local and non-​local. Great food and great service here. Loved it.

This is one of the best Italian meals we have ever eaten! The restaurant is locally owned and we even met the chef. I highly recommend the antipasti plate (the pecorino is delicious). The desert selections are also wonderful!

We had one of the best and cheapest dinners here in the two weeks we were in Italy. They had multiple vegetarian options which was hard to find in Tuscany. My husband had the ravioli with butter and sage and he loved it, I had the pasta with tomato and garlic sauce and it was to die for, my husband liked it so much we ordered another serving for him. The Rosso di Montepulciano was very good. When I asked the waitress if the mousse or chocolate cake was better for desert she recommended getting the cake with some mousse on top, it was perfect. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. I haven’t left a million snobby reviews with ridiculous American standards, so if you prefer reviews by people who don’t have anything better to do then be highly critical then just ignore this.

If I could give 3.5 stars I would. Food was solid, not fabulous. Service was friendly and helpful.

Below average food at a tourist-​only restaurant. We went here on our first night in Montepulciano on the recommendation of Unilocal.Should have turned around after seeing the entire clientele was Americans, and no reservations were necessary. We appreciated the friendly hospitality and the complementary glass of prosecco, but it was all downhill from there. Both the tagliatelle with mushrooms and the pici with duck were far past al dente, with sauces comparable to those from a jar, and the lamb was cooked almost to the point of rubber. And if you’re a vegetarian, you’re out of luck here with regard to entrees. Wine options by the glass is limited. Prices are reasonable (7 – 12 for appetizers and pastas, 10 – 15 for entrees), but there are certainly better options available, even without a reservation.

Another great meal in Montepulciano. Crostini Misti starter was great. Pork Chop and Tagliatelle with wild Boar were both outstanding. Decided to move away from the tiramisu as our waitress suggested the apple cake for desert. Suggest reservations as we saw many folks turned away. No house wine but reasonable prices on bottles. We had a terrific Nobile for $ 17 €

Way on the top of the hill (intense drive up) but worth the trip. There is parking (for a fee, 1,30 per hour) at the top. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. Had the Pici al Ragu (Tuscany red sauce), cheese ravioli, and a cobb like salad. All very good. Everything is fresh and they serve a good selection of wines by the glass.
Also, the restaurant across the street is very good, Ai Quattro Venti, but did not realize where it was until after lunch. No problem because this place was just as good!

Friendly staff, great food and wine, reasonable prices. A very enjoyable, casual meal. The ravioli with pecorino was especially tasty.

Great lunch

Fantastisches Essen in wunderbarer Atmosphäre. Hausgemachte Nudeln und eine gute Weinauswahl. Gerne wieder

Sehr schönes Lokal in Mitten einer original verschlafenen italienschen Kleinstadt. Wie mein Vorredner schon berichtet hat, ist es wunderbar zum abschalten geeignet — ihr werdet von urtypischen Italienern bedient und bekommt auch die kleinen netten italienischen Speisen. Essen müsst ihr hier nicht einmal, es reicht zum abschalten schon einen hiesigen Rotwein zu ordern und diesen draussen in der Abendsonne zu genießen.
