Ristorante Degli Archi In Montepulciano

06/04/2024: I am a totally foodie, especially of Italian food. While in Pienza my boyfriend and I had a caffe at a super fancy restaurant with the most stunning view but it was super formal and expensive so we asked the waiter (newphew of the owner) for a recommendation for a restaurant frequented by locals and his favorite restaurant. He said hands down, Trattoria da Fiorella. It was a bit off the beaten path. Very quaint, with an amazing atmosphere. The staff and family of the owners had such passion about their food and the town of Pienza (and Toscano in general ) my boyfriend had Ribollito Tuscany soup, that was to die for. I got their recipe which was just general ingredients. I’m not on a mission to replicate it. (Doubtful because we can’t get the fresh ingredients in the states) I had the grilled pork (not sure of the marinade they used) but it was grilled to order and was out of this world, also had the crostini with liver late’, desert was a cream pie (can’t remember the name but forever will remember the taste) caffe was perfect. Macchiato, btw, Italian macchiato is nothing like American macchiato. It does not have sugar in it. It is basically a double espresso with a tad of milk. The local wine that was recommended was absolutely divine. I know I sound like I am getting paid to write this or am a family or friend. I can assure you I am not. I am just so over the top impressed with this place and with the family that runs it and prepares all the meals with their own secret recipes. If you are in Pienza, this is a place that you will not want to miss.
