la vecchia dispensa, di Ponticelli Ettore In Manciano

I've been there on New Year's Eve and, together with some friends, bought some local products (wine and cheese), spending a substantial amount and then went away. When 15 minutes later we decided to get back in the store/restaurant/osteria (???) trying to have a celebration glass of wine to toast the new year approaching, we were told, despite the fact that no table inside was occupied by any punter whatsoever and we had been there already spending some cash, that unless we were eating something, we couldn't have a glass of wine there. Nothing like that was specified on the menu hanging outside, about this "rule", bear in mind! Pity, perhaps the proprietors don't want business, because they make enough money with the wine and cheese they sell inside? Well, if that is the case, pleased for them. It would be just nice to advise customers that you are not entitled to have drinks, unless you have food..

Ho pranzato in questo locale con il mio compagno in occasione di una gita a Montemerano. Abbiamo mangiato all'esterno, con vista sulla via principale, in totale tranquillità. Il servizio è molto cordiale. Abbiamo gustato un ottimo tagliere di salumi e formaggi locali, crostini toscani e una crostata cioccolato e arancia davvero strepitosa, il tutto accompagnato da del buon vino del posto. I prezzi sono nella media.

Courteous people in a simple but welcoming environment. Easy but mouth-watering cuisine 😋

Delightful and exquisite managers.

Very good restaurant run by a lovely older couple. Great food, great regional products in the shop and good service.

Excellent place for a quality snack, both for the raw materials and for the service and courtesy in an excellent panoramic setting! If you happen to be in this beautiful village, an obligatory stop!

We had lunch in this small old-time shop, located in a beautiful village. Run by a couple of very nice gentlemen. The dishes are simple and delicious, it is clear that quality products are used. At the end of lunch we visited the shop and purchased some typical local products.

Delicious home-made food and a fantastic atmosphere created by two Senior Hosts - a visit like visiting your favorite aunt!

Anche quest'anno in occasione di un ns soggiorno a Montemerano siamo stati due volte da Ettore ed Ivana ( aiutati dalla figlia e dalla sorella di Ivana). Tutto ok come sempre . Simpatia, cordialità e servizio. Bravi !

Épicerie fine offrant des plats simples mais excellent en terrasse. Une fois qu'on s'est régalé on peut acheter dans le magasin les denrées qui nous ont ravis. Les propriétaires sont très gentils et accueillant.
