Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food was excellent: fresh and full of flavour. The wine was very good, too (albeit a bit expensive). The service was great and the people were very kind and welcoming. I wish they had more sitting areas outside (but they are only for tables for 2 people). The inside sitting is very interesting as each area offers a different decor so there are plenty to choose from. I would want to come back here again."
"5 starts for everything Expecting coming again The boy recommends us some local foods,we love so so so much We didn’t drink cause international drive license"
"So, we got some mixed feelings about this one. We called to see if they had a table for 2, and they said that we could come and there would be one eventually. When we got there, the staff got a bit confused, where one said we couldn’t and then after 1min we could, but not in a very friendly manner. Beside that, our waitress was super nice! We got a very private table (super!), and the wine was very good. The food was also okay, and the burrata tartare with pistacchio was really nice."
"Enoteca Grotta del Brunello is a delightful find nestled in the heart of Montalcino. Located within a historic wine cave, the establishment offers a cozy and inviting ambiance, complemented by a charming outdoor seating area that allows guests to soak in the picturesque views of this medieval town. During our visit, we indulged in traditional Tuscan dishes, including pici pasta served with beef and another with duck. Both dishes were expertly prepared, boasting rich flavors that highlighted the authenticity of the local cuisine. The house wine, a selection of Brunello di Montalcino, was exceptional and paired wonderfully with our meal. A standout moment was ordering a gin and tonic, which was served with a regional tonic water, enhancing the drink's refreshing quality. The staff's attention to detail and commitment to showcasing local products added a special touch to our dining experience. Later we learned that Enoteca Grotta del Brunello is renowned for its extensive selection of Brunello wines and its dedication to providing guests with an authentic taste of Tuscany. We wish we had tried some of their unique wines. We highly recommend this restaurant."
"Unbelievable good taste with great wine. Have no words. Had the papardele a ragout, the lasagna and the pork cheek in red wine sauce along with the Castello Banfi. The picture says it all."
"We had an amazing early dinner. The outdoor places have an amazing view. We ordered the mixed starter plate, house wine and some pasta. Everything was super delicious! The service was also very nice."
"I went to this beautiful enoteca with my husband and daughter in the center of Montalcino just few hours ago…and I loved it! Location, food and service were really great. I had pici with ragù di cinta senese and they were absolutely delicious! My little girl tried the lasagna and my husband the “val d’Orcia Experience” with a glass of Brunello…all so good! They also have a little grocery at the entrance, with a good selection of typical Tuscan products…such as pasta, honey, sweets, cheese and local charcuterie. Very much recommended!"
"OMG! This place is amazing! If you can, you should go have a look inside the place, top!!! We had a really great time! Food was excellent! Our service staff was great! We got some bottles back home. Highly recommend!"
