This restaurant was recommended by our B&B, and it live up to its billing. I had one of the best mains of my visit here -- wild boar in a chocolate sauce (think mole, rather than sweet). All of the food was very good and the waiter both professional and entertaining. It seemed that the city bigwigs ate there too,... More

Good food though not particularly inventive but excellent service from Lorenzo and a pleasant meal if staying in the village. Lots of wine by the glass and if choosing meat be prepared for a very large plate of food.

Recommended by our guide, Ristorante Il Pozzo should not be missed. Monterioggioni is such a great stop, a wonderful walled city with character and charm. The restaurant has great ambiance, service and food. Don't miss the wild boar and pasta.

A group of six friends dined at Il Pozzo for lunch. All dishes were impressive, but my friend ordered a "steak". Normally I might not gravitate to a steak when ordering on a trip to Italy, but this turned out to be a bone-in veal steak (as you may have heard, veal in Italy is not the same as that... More

The restaurant was nearly empty, it's not really tourist season, but we were treated very well. The waiter recommended some amazing dishes and we had a great time.

Amazing food, service and wine! Situated in this fortress on a hill, if you're staying nearby it's definitely recommended.
