We spent 1 night in Montepulicano after concluding our self-guided walking tour of the Val d'Orcia. Our bed & breakfast recommended this spot. We can't say that we were overwhelmed. Our young server was very attentive to our requests, providing us with a high level of service. However, our food just wasn't that great. We were near the end of... More

Had a wonderful lunch in this great little trattoria on the main piazza in this beautiful little hill town in Tuscany! It's family run and it shows as the service is excellent throughout. They have a great menu and good wine list to suit all palates and pockets. After a good selection of Tuscan antipasti I had lovely lamb and... More

We stayed at Villa Poggiano in Montepulciano and the owner highly recommended Al Quattro Venti. We were a group of 8 and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the fabulous, attentive and friendly service. It was definitely the best dinner we had in Montepulciano! The minestrone soup was bursting with flavour, the pastas cooked to pefection and the deserts simply... More

The food is all homemade, and the servers are very friendly. Our hotel recommended we eat here, and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend!

Located at one of the corners of Piazza Grande, just in front of the duomo, the restaurant "Ai Quattro Venti" offers indoor and outdoor tables, simple but refined decor (the father of the owners has a lovely antiques shop on the corso), classic Tuscan food at its best: ribollita (soup), fegatini (pork livers with laurel), Fiorentina (T-bone steaks), verdure grillate...

Great location near the Duomo. The rabbit was wonderful as well as the pasta with mushrooms. The wine was great and grilled veggies perfect, not too done. I'd go back for more rabbit tomorrow but they are closed. Truly yours, Tina

The town of Montepulciano is littered with good restaurants, so it takes some real effort to stand out among the competition. Ai Quattro Venti does stand out in a friendly, competent, delicious, unassuming way. Nice, energetic and youthful staff backed up by a great kitchen equal flavourful roast duck, succulent roast pork, fresh and crispy salads, local Vino Nobile di... More

Stopped here for lunch while spending a full day in Montepulciano. Wife had rabbit and I had the duck. Wonderful food a reasonable prices. Service was attentive and friendly. Is located on the main piazza. Being a cold day, dined inside, but there is outside seating as well.

Had a wonderful dinner, the staff was very friendly, and dealt with our poor Italian wonderfully. Many great dishes, as well as dessert. Priced right, and would definitely return again.
