Hands-down, the best... ravioli... I've ever had in my life! It was made with mushrooms, truffle oil, and true Italian love. I'm not even sure how I ended up in Monticchiello, but it was fate after driving through Tuscany and finding this hidden gem. After parking my car near the entrance of this medieval-aged town, I knew there was something more than just what was offered at the entrance in terms of a restaurant. Besides, those were too overcrowded and the wait-staff didn't seem to care you were there.
So, I decided to keep going and enjoy the views of this beauty of a village. Right before I started to exit, I found this place in a charming alley (what alley isn't charming in Italy?!) Immediately, we were welcomed by the chef? I'm not sure if he was the owner, but definitely a very nice gentleman along with the waitress.
Beautiful interior, lovely atmosphere, and pure Italian cuisine. Worth the drive. -

Today we had lunch at La Cantina de La Porta and this meal was one of our favorites in Italy, so far. The head waiter and his assistant were attentive and helpful, very professional but also warm. My ricotta and spinach ravioli with its mascarpone sauce was perfect with subtle flavors coming through and not overly rich. I also had side dish of roasted vegetables with each type well seasoned and roasted to appropriate doneness. Husband had pork which was the best pork (outside of bacon and porchetta!) that I've tasted in years. Panna cotta for dessert was so, so good.
We had dinner at their sister restaurant, Osteria La Porta early this week. Dinner there was our other favorite meal, so far. The restaurants share much of the same menu, same attention and caring that we have a good meal. -

Daria and her team are top notch. The ingredients are fresh and local. Daniela gave us a great cooking class. The local wines are fully stocked and very reasonably priced.
