About

Pici, saffron velouté, and Tuscan fine dining

Hand-Pulled Pici with Cacio e Pepe on Cortona Saffron Velouté anchors a Contemporary Tuscan Fine Dining menu that also includes Pappa al Pomodoro and Beef Sirloin with Potato Millefeuille and Herb Ash.

Monastero di Cortona courtyard dinner

Ristorante Gli Affreschi operates as the hotel restaurant at Monastero di Cortona Hotel & Spa, with courtyard and private dining settings. Dinner suits a leisurely, conversational meal rather than a rushed schedule.

Wine carries practical weight here: World’s Best Wine Lists Awards gave the restaurant WBWL 1-Star in 2024 and WBWL 2-Star in 2025, while the kitchen works with local sourcing.
