Il Falconiere - CORTONA

Wonderful location, with a really lovely view on the hills of short, I recommend booking in the outdoor terrace in the summer/suspended months. high level service, as from expectations seen the michelin star that can boast. In my opinion, the price is adequate for the experience. recommended recommended

A reality that for years offers a five-star service in a beautiful location on the Valdichiana. also has a starry restaurant that can be enjoyed by people outside the relais.

Returning from Rome, we searched for a restaurant in Tuscany to have lunch and we chose the falconiere. positive experience, the best is the location, then the products, many of its own production (green, oil, wines.) a little slow service.

Upon referral we went and did a wine testing at the Bracchi winery. Until then, we were unaware that there was a one-star Michelin restaurant attached to the winery. We felt compelled to make a reservation and go and celebrate our birthdays there. Of all the restaurants I ate at in Tuscany, this one was the best. Everything was top notch from the ambience, the service, the food, and, of course the wine. Anyone going to Tuscany has to put this in their agenda.

Recently visited for a greatly anticipated dinner, only to be let down. I understand that this is a fine dining experience, and they have a specialty in wine, but the cocktails were some of the worst I have had. They took forever and every time we got them, they tasted watered down. The food was on par with the drinks. Our table chose the “Azzuro” tasting and didn’t like a single course, other than the dessert(6/10). The amuse-bouche was a seared octopus with a side of “octopus water”. What?!? This tasted like water right from a fish tank. I came in with zero expectations, as I know each Michelin star is special and different. But the Il Falconiere was a huge disappointment. Service was good. Nothing over the top. But definitely the best part of my experience.
