Atmosphere is lovely but the food was just okay. We wanted to love it but none of the dishes were that great. It was expensive for the food quality.

While artisanal food is typical of Tuscany, this restaurant and enoteca in its gorgeous former monastry setting excells at it. The carpaccio had a very refined touch and the pici con ragu and tagliata were tremendous. Highly recommended. We also wanna go for just a glass of wine.

Chiostro is in an ancient cloister in Sarteano, a small hilltop town with castle near Montepulciano in Tuscany. The position, ambiance, service and food are all excellent and worthy of high praise. We are hard to please and can easily recommend this place to our friends and family.

This hidden gem did not disappoint. We entered through the bar entrance and it appeared to be an unassuming cantina with suspended swing chairs. We were directed to the restaurant area upstairs and to our surprise this opens up to a beautiful open piazza and lovely dining area upstairs overlooking the piazza. The building was an old monastery and it looks amazing. The food and service did not disappoint and this was the best dining experience we had while staying in Sarteano. Do not overlook this little gem.

This ancient renovated monastery was so lovely - beautiful enough for a wedding or other large event venue. The service was delightful and the food was “squisito”! If staying in the area, this is a place you must visit! Hopefully the owner will give you the history of this family enterprise!

Wonderful atmosphere at this charming restaurant in an old palatial home found at the end of a quaint street in Sarteano. Excellent choice of wines and meals. Had the Ratatouille starter and pasta bolognese with the most delicious Tiramisu for dessert. Lovely and attentive staff. Definitely try this place!

Food was mixed. Good starter and pasta but main courses were disappointing with steak and pork a bit too fatty or tough.

The Osso Bucco that was served was terrible. It was so tough it was inedible. The meals also took a long time to arrive. The beef that was served was dry. It needed a sauce. We were disappointed with the meal, especially since we had previously visited and the meals at that time were very good.

Good evening. I would ask myself a question you put that we are very expensive compared to more than 500 reviews who say we are cheap you put that we are very slow compared to more than 500 reviews who say the opposite that the dishes are not good compared to 500 reviews that say the cuisine is excellent and if it is true that you have already been here, the kitchen staff has not changed for 8 years ... it is not that the problem is yours, and not ours !!! Best regards Carlo Cozzi Lepri

The venue and ambiance was just spectacular. We got a full history of the property which really added to the whole experience. And the staff were all amazingly friendly and spoke English very well. We were really taken care of. I struggled on rating of the food. It was quite good but for our tastes, it just lacked a little bit of seasoning/salt. Of course that is all very subjective and others may find It perfectly seasoned. Quality of the food was very good though. I would definitely return and still highly recommend.

Excellent food and good service. The welcome we received was somewhat cold. If the management could get that right, this would be a fabulous place to dine.

This is an awesome restaurant. The ambiance is so special and the food and service were perfect. We actually went 2 nights in a row and 8 of us tried many of the menu items. Nothing disappointed us. I would strongly recommend dining here.

It's in a lovely old building and serves decent food but service is slow and haphazard. The team seems frazzled and there is no warmth shown to customers. There are better places.

Don’t let the outside fool you, that’s only the bar area. Inside is a lively open courtyard where you can have a drink on dine in the areas surrounding it. Steak and chicken dishes were excellent, along with the smiling service. Do not miss.
