It is located on the site where a 6th century Christian parish church was built and later moved to a safer position on the hillside where it still stands today. The restaurant has retained the ‘Pieve Vecchia’ name and features a great range of authentic dishes with a more modern interpretation and yet with full respect for the local specialty ingredients and traditions. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list featuring numerous fine Umbrian and Tuscan labels. The fresh pasta is proudly all homemade and the second courses are equally impressive. From the Duck breasts simmered in Vinsanto to the local Chianina steaks served sliced with porcini or simply with fresh rosemary. The restaurant is also a Pizzeria in the evenings offering a wide range of tasty but affordable pizzas. At lunchtime they have an optional set menu of the day consisting of a first dish followed by a second with a side plate of vegetables for just 12 euro per person. Desserts are also homemade and excellent……make sure to leave some room! Ideally suited to Wedding Receptions, outdoors or on the elegant upper floor. A perfect venue also for seminars and conventions with rooms for every group size. |
