It was always the most delicious of our trip, and they were an important part of our beginning love affair with Italy. We lost track of them when they began a new restaurant, but by luck found them again, this time in Sant' Albino, just south of Montepulciano. We've eaten there twice this week. The restaurant is warm and welcoming inside, and the food is as perfectly delicious as ever. This is not a place to breeze through, because everything is made fresh for you, and the owners pride themselves in making only the best. Massimo makes the savory foods, and Francois the desserts. We consider them the best chefs to cook for us in our 18 trips to Italy. If you get to experience their artistry, you're a very lucky person.

After a while, we started looking for someplace to get coffee and I found in yelp this beautiful place was ahead of us in just a couple of miles. It's a very quiet and small Italian city where you will not find any tourists. Narrow streets, with a stunning view to Toscana. We liked this place so much, so I even offered my girlfriend to stay here. Caffe Venezia is a small cafeteria where you will find anything you want. Here you can have your breakfast, brunch, or lunch and the prices are three times cheaper then in Roma or any other big cities. The owner was a very polite and nice guy.

It's set in a neighborhood and seems to be run by an Italian family who doesn't speak much English. There is indoor and outdoor seating and it only had 3 tables of diners on a Wednesday night. Husband started with minestrone soup which he liked but garbanzo beans a little hard. He got the steak with mushroom which was cooked nicely with fried potatoes on side. I ordered the porcini mushroom pizza, which was just ok, a little too much cheese and a bit oily. Cooked in a wood burning stove so good char. We ordered a bottle of Chianti for the table and one to go. Total bill for the meal was 98 euros, so definitely a good deal. Very cute interior and friendly service.

For the pasta, I highly recommend the seafood pasta which is lavished with octopus Lostine and muscles. Or, another stellar option would be the maltagliati pasta with pork. Just outstanding!
