"We've had a very delicious dinner at La Piccola Grotta. The ambience is really nice. The host did not excel in English, but we faced no difficulties and he was very willing to help, advice, and serve! We've had a great time. We would recommend the Pici al Tartufo, the Tiramisu, and the Chocolate (lava) cake. Ask for a matching bottle of wine too."

"A pleasant surprise! Variety of pasta to choose from, great price and tasty food. Recommend!"

"Arbjel created a dream experience for my sisters, my mother and I on our family vacation. Not only was the meal out of the world delicious (I got the bruschetta and truffle pasta) but arbjel made us feel welcome and like family, catering to our every need before we could even voice it. Do not miss the montepulciano gem. 10/10 impeccable vibes and delectable food."

"Delicious pasta and a couple of great wine by the glass choices! We ate outside once and ordered pasta another day to take back to our AirBnB. The service can be hit or miss here for dining in."

"Stumbled upon this place at dinner time and was blown away by the Pici with Tuscan ragu. The cocktail I got (negroni) was also spot on. A couple nights later I went in to ask about picking up a couple bottles of wine and they poured me a sample of one so I could test it before buying. They really take care of their customers and are so kind!"

"La Piccola Grotto, set in the gorgeous landscape of Montepulciano, is a delightful café bar that has captured my heart on my second visit. This quaint establishment features a small outdoor seating area that accommodates about ten people, allowing for an intimate dining experience surrounded by the charming ambiance of the town. The food selection is impressive, and I was particularly drawn to the Pici Al Tartufo. This dish was truly outstanding—bursting with sauce and packed with flavor. Each bite was a rich experience that left me craving more. Another highlight was the Bruschetta Olio Nuovo Pomodoro Basilico; while it may seem simple, it was executed with such care that the fresh flavors shone through beautifully. One of the standout aspects of La Piccola Grotto is the exceptional staff. They are incredibly friendly and accommodating, which enhances the overall dining experience. During our first visit, they kindly prepared a lovely pasta dish for my son, who typically prefers not to order from restaurants. Their willingness to cater to our needs made us feel welcomed and appreciated. To cap off our meal, we indulged in a cheese board accompanied by truffle honey. This combination was truly desirable, as the truffle honey opened up new flavors in the cheese that made for a memorable tasting experience. Overall, I wish La Piccola Grotto all the best. It’s a charming spot that offers delectable food, warm hospitality, and a lovely atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Montepulciano."
