About La Grotta
Stone-walled restaurant built into a 13th-century wine cellar beneath Montepulciano serving ribollita and pappardelle with duck ragu. The cheese cart features 15 varieties of local pecorino and the wine list highlights vertical tastings of Vino Nobile. Brick vaulted ceilings and candle lighting create medieval atmosphere.
Insider Tips
Order the bistecca di chianina from nearby Val di Chiana, grilled over chestnut wood and charged by the etto (100 grams).
