We are regular travellers to Tuscany and were nervous of eating in San Gimignano, as it is has a reputation of catering to tourists. Le Vecchie Mura is no exception. We ate on a Thursday evening in May, at the inside restaurant. The restaurant is pleasantly buzzy altough the tables are very closely spaced. The service is extremely patchy and... More

If this restaurant's terrace doesn't offer the loveliest view from San Gimignano onto the surrounding hillsides then I would really like to eat at the place that does! We booked in advance to ensure we had a table on the terrace and, although the weather had been changeable that day, we were rewarded with a pleasant evening and a wonderful... More

Turned up on Sat eve, no reservation - mistake! But maitre d' was marvellous, and through his walrus moustache asked us to wait 10 minutes... which turned in to 20, but no matter, worth waiting for! Ribalito (sp??) to die for, lovely slow-cooked venison ("deer" on the menu) and veg lovely too. More

Although we ate indoors (which as very nice), we thought hard about braving the cool April evening to enjoy the views from their terrace overlooking Tuscany. The service at the restaurant was outstanding, and we enjoyed soem of the local fare (wild boar and rabbit). It was a great way to finish off our first day in San Gimignano, More

The main attraction is the great views of the Tuscan Hills while enjoying tasty Tuscan cuisine. Reservations is recommended if you want to ensure a great view since all the tables in the front on the terrace are typically reserved. We had the wild boar pasta, rabbit, and florentine steak. The rabbit was juicy and very flavorful while the steak... More

The view from the terrace is sensational, and the inside of the restaurant is very modern and clearly recently renovated. Our pasta dishes were both very good, but the steak we had for main wasn't great - it was nearly two inches thick and whilst I always have my steak rare, this was just cold in the middle and not...

The food here is not to be missed. The streets were almost deserted so we thought the restaurant would be quiet. We wee wrong. In fact thet offered us the chance to admire the fantastic view over the countryside, before allocating the table. wonderfull food and wine. More

If you can seat outside, order something simple and enjoy the view.The ravioli with truffles are great, pasta with cinghiale -poor, pasta with porcini smelled like instant soup,very-poor. We would come here again but only to have a bottle of wine and nothing else(maybe ravioli with truffles). More
