We recently spent a week in Tuscany, including 4 nights in San Quirico and we ate at many fine restaurants. Our meal here was world class and the best of our trip. The setting was outdoors in the garden, very peaceful and quiet, even after the area was full. Service was impeccable, attentive but not instrusive. We had four courses... More

We were in San Quirico for 2 nights as part of our self-guided walking tour of the Val d'Orcia. We arrived at the trattoria just after opening - it was in the middle of the week - and although we didn't have a reservation we managed to get a table. We were very lucky as the trattoria filled up quickly.... More

We have been to Al Vecchio Forno four times now (twice during our recent trip to Tuscany). Each time we've been the food and the service have been outstanding and the prices are reasonable. If you are anywhere near San Quirico d'Orcia you really should have a nice long lunch here. The decor is authentically Tuscan simplicity & elegance. We... More

Very nice Tuscan food at fair prices. Fresh pasta. Delicious chicken cooked with Brunello and herbs. Good wines. Modest Brunello by the glass. Nice atmosphere. We ate here twice.

We went there even if we were told to check the bill before paying! And imagine what? They charged us for food we didn't eat. Of course, this can happen, but I find very strange that this happen after they warned me. This is unfair. Food was ok, but less good than in other restaurant (e.g. al Falcone in Pienza).

This was our first dinner in Tuscanny, and it was just what we had in mind. A cozy place, nicely decorated, good service, and very good food at reasonable prices. And the house/featured wine on the menu, a Brunello di Montelcino for only 27€ was the bargain of the night. We plan to go back for our last night in... More

Went here for dinner - thought it was okay but not great. Cozy atmosphere, pretty average food. For our other night in town we went to La Bottega di Ciacco and thought it was much better.

Al Vecchio Forno is owned by the excellent hotel Palazzo del Capitano but is in a separate building a short walk away. Because of this there are usually a lot of tourists eating there who are staying at the hotel and reservations are needed for dinner even out of season. The food is definitely well above average and the prices... More

While visiting San Quirico, a charming Tuscan town, we had a late lunch at this restaurant. It was a nice day so we opted to eat in the outside garden which was lovely and shaded from the sun. The service was excellent and the food was quite good. Highly recommend the fried squash blossoms. They were delicious! A lovely dining... More

We ate here for both nights while staying at our hotel. The restaurant is decorated with unique, creative ideas. Love the walls of bottle corks. Food and service was superb. Enjoyed the outdoor terrace because of the atmosphere. Wine list is a little overwhelming unless you have some experience with italian wines. But overall, a wonderful experience
