Chiostro Cennini

What a find! It's worth the drive even if you're coming from a distance.The food was amazing and not the usual fare we've seen everywhere else in northern Italy. The upstairs enclosed balcony was also a quiet, romantic setting facing a courtyard from 1120 AD that the owner and her brother played in when growing up in what was their grandfather's home. The service was great, too.We can highly recommend Chiostro Cennini.

Warm welcome to English speaking guests. Varied menu to suit all tastes and a great wine selection at very reasonable prices

While artisanal food is typical of Tuscany, this restaurant and enoteca in its gorgeous former monastry setting excells at it. The carpaccio had a very refined touch and the pici con ragu and tagliata were tremendous. Highly recommended. We also wanna go for just a glass of wine.

Chiostro is in an ancient cloister in Sarteano, a small hilltop town with castle near Montepulciano in Tuscany. The position, ambiance, service and food are all excellent and worthy of high praise. We are hard to please and can easily recommend this place to our friends and family.

This hidden gem did not disappoint. We entered through the bar entrance and it appeared to be an unassuming cantina with suspended swing chairs. We were directed to the restaurant area upstairs and to our surprise this opens up to a beautiful open piazza and lovely dining area upstairs overlooking the piazza. The building was an old monastery and it looks amazing. The food and service did not disappoint and this was the best dining experience we had while staying in Sarteano. Do not overlook this little gem.
