"We stayed at the Hotel Osteria del 'Orcia for a week. We ate the majority of our meals at the restaurant and were delighted by the food and service. The breakfast spread had everything you could hope for: from freshly made yogurt and locally sourced Ricotta, meats and other cheeses, to a selection of bread, toast and fruit, teas, jams and honey. They also had hard boiled eggs prepared every morning and you could also ask for an omelette or soft boiled egg if you wish. Anna-Maria was there every morning ready to take your coffee or tea order and the following days she would confirm you wished to have the same thing as she remembered the requests of each of the guests. Lunches also had a lot of choice and I would recommend the traditional Panzanella salad. We always looked forward to dinner as the specials changed daily and the menu offered a selection of traditional Tuscan delights. The chef 's cuisine and talent were exceptional as was the staff. Antonio is very professional and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about a variety of wines, local and known favourites, and his suggestions for what wine to pair with your meal are superb! He is also a master of zabaglione which he prepares tableside! The manager Sylvano is very attentive, making sure to stop by everyone 's table to say hello and make sure you are happy with your meal and that you have everything that you need."
