After visiting the Castello Banfi, we drove towards the village of Montalcino. Strolling around, we chose a restaurant which seemed nice. This restaurant is located on a side street of the village.
Being in this wine region, we wanted to try a Brunello di Montalcino. This was easier said than done because the wine menu included several pages with Brunello di Montalcino. The wine selection of Brunello di Montalcino wines was as big as a normal wine menu. We asked the waiter for a recommendation and were not disappointed by our choice. We decided to try some local dishes.

| Goat cheese with plums, tomatoes and ruccola |
We tried a small starter. It was goat cheese with plums, tomatoes and ruccola. Everything was fresh and a nice combination.
 |
| Tuscan pasta al ragu |
We chose a typical tuscan pasta with wild boar ragout. Everything was fresh and delicious.
 |
| Salsiccia with beans |
We also had salsiccia with beans in a typical tuscan tomato sauce. This is a simple and delicious dish like many other dishes in Italy. The simple Italian dishes cooked perfectly are often all you need. Simplicity is usually better than exotic variations of mediocre dishes. In Italy this point is proven over and over again. There is more than enough variety in Italian cuisine, especially in Tuscany. This restaurant was good value for money and a nice stop for lunch.
