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.

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).

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.

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.

We came to Montalcino on our honeymoon. The incredible weather and the fresh Tuscan air is magnificent. As we made our rounds about the town, we came across Alle Logge after numerous positive reviews and even local recommendations. The location of the restaurant was perfect, but it was not enough to counteract the dismal service, low-quality of food, awful wine, and terrible bookkeeping. The server was only semi attentive to our needs. The wine was brought with bugs in it and when we asked for it to be exchanged, we were given a different, bad tasting wine and told it was the same one we received earlier (it was most definitely not). The pasta was flavorless and mediocre at best. And finally, the restaurant manager incorrectly tallied our bill and tried to overcharge. This is a restaurant that knows it will continue to get crowds of tourists and doesn't bother to take any pride in its craft. Overall a horrible experience, please spend your money elsewhere.

Just simply wow! I definitely was not expecting much from a resto in the middle of a touristy town…read more We chose this place simply because of a super cozy outside setting in the middle of a square. I am so glad we did! Outside you had about 15 tables and the wait was about 10-15 min for two. Unlike most slow paced spots in Italy here two waiters were running around non-stop making sure everyone is attended to - smiling along and making helpful suggestions. Menu was a delight - but that's nothing new for Tuscany. However, food was superb! I know it is hard to compare cold cuts, cheeses, pastas and secondis in this part of the world where everything is fresh and delicious. But cacio e pepe I had here was the best one I tried during our two week stay. The cold cuts board was also wonderful and quite generous. Selection of wines was plentiful and when I asked for a recommendation I really appreciated that the waiter did not simply go for the most expensive top of the list. Overall, wonderful spot with the most attentive staff.
