ristorazione — Montepulciano · Toscana
In the historic centre of Montepulciano, within the walls of a medieval building that opens onto a quiet courtyard, Tuscan cuisine tells its story through everyday gestures and ingredients drawn from the local land.
A medieval building in the heart of Montepulciano, a short walk from Piazza Grande and the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (the town's cathedral): La Corte dell'Ulivo occupies one of those spaces that history has handed down intact, where the stones speak of centuries of Tuscan life even before you cross the threshold.
The dining room welcomes guests with the simplicity typical of authentic places. Hospitality is guided by Anna, owner and soul of the establishment, supported by staff who know every dish and can tell its story: a family-run service that turns lunch into a pause, not a stop along the way.
Every morning the kitchen sets to work: bread goes into the oven, the pici dough is worked by hand on the counter, and desserts and cantucci take shape following traditional Tuscan recipes. Stone-ground flours, local ingredients sourced close by: artisanal craftsmanship is the method, not the exception.
From pappardelle with wild boar sauce to handmade pici, all the way to Chianina beef: the page recounts every dish in detail.
