What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Corte Dell' Ulivo offers a beautiful dining atmosphere, particularly praised for its outdoor courtyard. While many guests rave about the excellent service and specific dishes like the grilled pork loin and certain pasta preparations, some reviewers have encountered issues with bland pasta sauces, tasteless meat, and inconsistent quality. The restaurant's charming setting and attentive staff are definite highlights, but culinary consistency can be a concern for some.
"Absolutely lovely meal! I fly for a living and have travelled extensively, and I have a rule that “if we are the only tourists in there, it must be good” and this restaurant proved just that. We had a stressful morning with a car accident and our family of 5 just needed somewhere to rest and refuel (!) after being in the heat, and the service we received and the food really was excellent! The waiter Pasquale was so attentive to our 7 year twin daughters and went above and beyond to serve them. Would recommend 100%."

"So sorry for this honest review.. 😔
4cheese pizza was excellent, so was the atmosphere, but that's it.. 😢
We ordered raviolies - 4 pieces were delivered, just mediocre.. the antipasti egg - sorry, but I cook my eggs better in the morning. The pasta with Montepulciano wine - looked bad and it tasted... well it didn't taste good at all.
Service was ok, but nothing special. All in all, it was our last dinner in Tuscany and it was just not good at all unfortunately.. the place has potential, it looks great and the backyard is very private and nice, but kitchen really has to improve to be successful.."

"Despite the opinions, we decided to check what the place looks like and how it tastes.
After dinner in a nice atmosphere and good service, I can say that I do not understand the rating that appears on google.
The food was very good, the wine excellent.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place."
