What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Trattoria il Leccio is a highly recommended Tuscan gem offering exquisite, home-style Italian cooking with outstanding service. Diners rave about the generous portions, incredible flavors of dishes like the veal chop and appetizer sampler, and the extensive wine list. The warm, welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by rustic interiors and scenic outdoor seating, makes it a perfect spot for any occasion. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that the sheer quantity of food can be overwhelming, even for big eaters.
"We ate here twice during our 1 week stay in Montalcino, once for dinner and once for lunch, and both meals were incredible!
For dinner, we began with the appetizer sampler. We highly recommend this dish, as it offers a small portion of every appetizer, or nearly every appetizer on the menu. This is a large portion and is plenty for 2 or maybe even 3 people to share. All of the items offered in this selection were delicious, and we especially loved the 2 frittatas and the zucchini fries. For the main course we ordered the veal chop which was 1.2 or 1.3 kg. This was a tremendous portion for 2 which was perfect as we are big eaters, but for many this would have been enough for nearly 3 people. More impressive than the size was the way it tasted. It was the best veal chop we have ever had anywhere. Delicious! WOW! And the potatoes as a side dish were so perfectly crispy and delicious! For dessert, we ordered the dessert sampler, which offers a small portion of almost every dessert on the menu. Somehow we managed to also finish this despite the very large portion, and it was delicious. Although we were only 2 people, we loved everything so much that we ordered enough for 3 people and finished it all. What a great restaurant. We will be back soon!
Oh, and the wine list is fantastic as well! A tremendous selection of all the region's greatest producers!"

A Road Trip Through Tuscany That's All About the Food
Head to the village of Sant’Angelo in Colle for a hearty, traditional Tuscan lunch at Trattoria il Leccio, and try the house-made tagliatelle served with classic ragu or porcini. They’re known for grilled meat, so sharing a bistecca would go perfectly with a glass of Brunello.
