8/10Beautiful location, amidst a centuries-old abbey. The atmosphere is romantic, quiet and attractively lit. The menu is, as you would expect from a good restaurant, not too extensive. The have a curated menu with beautiful and tasty dishes. The service does its best to offer you a well-cared-for evening and listens carefully to wishes and needs. The speed of service and service is excellent. all in all, a great evening with great food.

5.5/10The service would be as expected of a restaurant of this standard however the food fell far below this. The sirloin was three slices of incredibly fatty steak and the ragú was awful- overly ground meat with large chunks of carrot. Some may enjoy this but we didn’t.

10/10Found within the elegant Relais hotel, Fondo is a true hidden gem away from Italy’s major cities. Delicious food, friendly service and a generous wine list. Seek it out for a lovely dinner in a charming setting.

8/10Food quality and setting of the restaurant were excellent, however, my husbands main dish was cold, not warm, but cold. One of us had the lamb and she loved it. Another had the marrow and loved it. The tartare was delish, but we preferred a touch more salt. Would have given this an excellent, but the food temps were all over the place. Quality was superb.

9/10On vacation and choose the restaurant because of proximity to Trequanda. Lovely setting, food was very good but there was only one waiter and with a large group also there at same time, service was slower than expected. The young man who assisted with setup, clean up and deliver of bread and meals was very good!

9/10Out of the way upscale restaurant in a monastery. Takes a bit of a drive but worth it. The home made bread they serve is just off the hook. Also the Pici pasta made fresh each day. Had the Panzanela appetizer and they use perfect farm fresh tomatoes and their home made bread.

10/10Super cozy and unique setting, great service and amazing food. Our best meal in Italy so far! There is also a really cute and friendly cat on the property that will most likely greet you. Definitely visit if you are nearby!

10/10The restaurant is located in the medieval castle, absolutely fabulous yard, with antique stones, wisteria and fancy lightening. The cuisine is very refined and delicious, with a sophisticated combination of ingredients. Two fantastic women run the Fondo. I highly recommend this place!

10/10Niccolo of De’Ricci wines in monrepulciano recommended Fondo to us and our party of ten loved it. The food was exceptional as was the setting.

10/10I’m very confused about this: why isn’t Fondo spoken about in the same breath as the other great Tuscan restaurants? This was a truly special dining experience, served in the gorgeous outdoor patio of a stylish Tuscan hotel. The food was plated elegantly, every dish presented uniquely. I started with the panzanella and the croutons were perfect, large and soaked in flavor but still retaining its crunch. The tomatoes were a variety I had never had and they were incredibly sweet for late may. Next was the pollo cacciatore style and that was one of the best I’ve ever had. Not soaked in tomato sauce, just beautifully flavored with small olives put in scattered throughout. My friends all had the lamb which was perfectly tender and savory. And to top it off, the dessert was great too. The service was very attentive and she made up for her spotty English and my spotty Italian with a big smile and regular visits to check on us and still managing unhurried Tuscan service. I am immediately putting Fondo on my top 5 list

7/10I had thought of perhaps staying at this establishment as the photos looked fantastic online...however the reviews stated as a hotel, it needed updating. After the sun went down and we approached the repurposed monastery for diner, we thought it was quite inchanting. The restaurant has a creative but very limited menu. Service was non-existent as was any management to guide the novice waitstaff. I do not think we will return.

7.5/10We enjoyed a wonderful lunch eating alfresco in a courtyard of a former historic abbey in the Tuscan countryside. The food was fresh, delicious, well prepared and presented. The service was average. The value for the money was reasonable. Would I return to dine here again? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes.

7/10The setting is amazing, a courtyard in a ‘farm’. The service could be better, long waiting time to receive the menu-card of the day and for the coffee. Beside that, another waitress had no knowledge to open a bottle of wine. We ordered with 4 people the bistecca fiorentine. It was ‘ok’ but for 5euro/100gr you expect more. Summarized, we were disappointed.

5/10Romantic setting in a centuries-old abbey. Approximate service. The meal is intended to be an original culinary experience. For my part, nothing seemed tasty. On the contrary.

10/10Lots of choices which were typical of the area. Informative and friendly staff. Shabby chic decor with large fires made for a warm atmosphere.

9.5/10Really great find in Tuscany. The building is worth the visit alone. The food is innovative and very tasteful. Only little problem was the wine. I took wine by the glass but the quantity of wine for €7.50 a glass was to small. I am sure they would have got 10 servings from one bottle and the whole bottle was €27 so I felt they were being too economical. Small point but this is how I felt.
