The food is served like it would be at home- simple but flavorful! Our table enjoyed bistecca Fiorentina, the rabbit in wine sauce, pici pasta al pomodoro, pecorino cheese plates and of course, delicious wines from Montalcino. I'd return for another leisurely lunch.

Well... we are so glad we did. The moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with a smile, wonderful service, fantastic food, and terrific wine. We received a surprise after we ordered - a fabulous Amuse-Bouche. Also, the Insalada Caprese was tops! I had spinach gnocchi with rabbit for the first time in my life and it was delicious. It was light, tender, and unlike anything I've ever had before. (Don't tell Bugs Bunny, though.) We both highly recommend this place.

Upon arriving, the elderly woman who I suppose owns the place, without a greeting or anything, asked us if we knew if breakfast was included. We said yes. She told us she didn't receive any notice of a party of four coming but we would figure it out. She guided us to a table with juices, cakes, cold meats, and a couple of other stuff and then left us to figure out where to sit. We ordered two cappuccinos and then tried to eat some of the food that was on the table. The coffee was terrible, the croissants and bread were dry and seemed days old, and the meats were also dry. We sucked it up and ate because we thought at least we didn't have to pay. Then, as we were about to leave, the woman comes over to our table and tells us we have to pay EVEN IF IT WAS COMPRISED. What? Terrible service, terrible food, and terrible ownership.

Service was efficient -- which was hard as the entire restaurant only had two staff -- they did a great job even as it got busy, making eye contact and acknowledging they would make it your way.

If you're able to get a table outside, the view alone makes this place worth a visit. To start, we split the fantasia di caprino, which were absolutely amazing. The flavors of the prunes, bacon, goat cheese and balsamic came together so well. Highly recommend! Next up, I ordered the pinci cacio e pepe and my husband ordered the conchiglie. We both absolutely loved our pastas, which were cooked perfectly al dente. We also ordered the baked cheese with honey and the rabbit, which were good but not our favorite (we definitely preferred our starter and pastas). Good food, good service- a lovely spot for lunch or dinner in Montalcino!

One would think a small restaurant next to the castle of the famous Tuscan hill town would be a tourist trap. However, our host at our hotel, Cristina, told us to go because she also makes the pasta for this place amongst others. She was so right, Osteria di Porta Al Cassero is amazing. We had chickpea soup that tasted like heaven. Fresh bread, handmade pasta with black truffle and some great Brunello to wash it down. It was filled with locals who were all festive and enjoying life. Who wouldn't living in Montalcino? This was one of our favorite meals. Basic, healthy, Tuscan, glorious.

The chickpea soup was a good, but there could have been more spices. Service was typical of Italy, where you are expected to take your time and enjoy yourself, which can drive us Americans a little crazy when we have a packed schedule. Our server was attentive when we signaled him, and we learned that this building was an ancient stable for the castle, and the plexiglass in the floor covers an old well. One thing to note is that you need to get up and pay at the bar when you are done.
