Pitigliano, what a beautiful placevto visit. Full of atmospheric charm and history. Photographs paradise. Picture round every corner. During the day and at night we'll it is just amazing to see all lit up in it's wonderful glory. We just came across it ended up stopping the night.

Pitigliano is a unique historical town grafted onto the top of a tuff rock outcrop. Not so much to do in the small historical center, but worth a stop.

The Fountain of the Seven Spouts is a monumental landmark located in the historic center of Pitigliano. If you're visiting the old town, you're sure to see it set against the gorgeous backdrop of the Tuscan slopes. Make sure you visit around sunset, as the skies are especially gorgeous then.

Wonderful hill top town with great views of the surrounding countryside and nice local shops in the city center.

Bel panorama

Amazing!

Beautiful piazza with stunning views.

Barely frescoed rooms; ultimately it's a museum. There is something interesting in it (the oil mill, the balcony onto the central square, some paintings), but I don't know if it's really worth it.

The middle aged man at the reception was very rude. I approached and asked in Italian "good evening, how are you? Do you speak English?" because I need to ask a question I didn't have the vocabulary for. .... he replied in a mocking voice, in Italian, "no I only speak Italian because I am in Italy!" like a child - com'è uno bambino!!! Everyone else in Pitigliano of all ages and languages has been so kind, polite, and helpful - we turned and left immediately due to his attitude!!

Small museum in the old city centre

Very beautiful.

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) From the ground floor to the keep, a path leads through numbered rooms, uniquely sized spaces, even those confined by a continuous progression of levels. The curious Orsini family emblem, with its mastiff collar, signifies military loyalty; the Orsinis fought on various sides, even against each other. The rooms are kept very tidy, with interesting and valuable details. (Original) Dal piano terra al cassero, percorso con stanze numerate, ambienti particolari nelle dimensioni anche ristretti in un continuo salire di livello, curioso l'emblema della famiglia Orsini col collare da mastino che significava fedeltà militare, gli Orsini hanno combattuto in diversi schieramenti anche uno contro l'altro. Ambienti tenuti molto in ordine con particolarità interessanti e pregevoli.

(Translated by Google) A splendid Renaissance palace housing frescoes, furnishings, and works of art linked to the history of the Orsini counts. A visit allows you to immerse yourself in the noble life of the past and appreciate the refinement of every detail. (Original) Splendido palazzo rinascimentale che custodisce affreschi, arredi e opere d’arte legate alla storia dei conti Orsini. La visita permette di immergersi nella vita nobiliare d’un tempo e di apprezzare la raffinatezza di ogni dettaglio.

Really nice small restaurant which offers locally sourced food

A lovely lunch spot with delicious ragu, homemade pasta and friendly service, along with a great people watching spot from the colourful chairs lining the street, 5/5

We just had lunch there. 💜 Was amazing. We had one of the best pasta in Italy. With organic products. The wild white boar ragout was incredible, and the dessert ( ricotta gelato with cherry amarena ) so good. Very good price for the quality of the food. Dont miss this place.... I just read some other reviews, and some are not deserved from our experience. The young lady who served us was very caring, helpful, trying to explain us the menu. Smiling and kind. And the wife of the chef (apparantly the owner) came to us to say hi and was very friendly. Really we loved everything ablout this place 💜

Went in for a short lunch break with my parent while walking through the town. The waitress and another woman in the kitchen whom im assuming was the owner were actively horrible to us. We ordered a cheese and meat platter with bread to share. Apparently that wasn't a big enough order, they were appalled at the fact that we did not order wine to go with our lunch and scolded us for having a small water bottle with us. At some point we were actually yelled at. i would like to state that we are not the type that goes to restaurants looking for conflict, rather we just wanted to try the local food and have a light lunch before we left the town.

Ideal for an aperitif or a quick lunch. It's nice to sit outside if the weather is nice.

Can’t say a lot about food, but I should talk about staff. We ‘googled’ the phone and called in a middle of the day to make a reservation, but I was told they don’t make them. Non c’e problema! It was rated so good, so we decided to give it a try and noticed some free tables. Cameriere came to clean the tables and we asked one for two people. “Un momento” - she said. While standing there in the street, some italians came, asked another cameriere and was leaded right away. Not to lose our queue again, we sitted ourselves :) Plot twist - cameriere came and said that this place was reserved. But how come if they don’t do reservations?? Very cute couple nearby suggested to take their places, but after some rude answers again, we decided just to say Ciao.

Best place for aperitivo in the whole borgo. They serve you their own products and local wines. Perfect service.

PITIGLIANO is probably the cutest little town in Toscana and staying at the Ceccottino is the best recommendation I could ever make to anyone that wants to experience real tuscan hospitality! The rooms are immaculate clean, done with such taste and dedication to detail. Overall a wonderful experience! Their hosts Chiara and Alessandro are a delight! Their restaurant is fabulous! Still making dishes following their mamma’s recipes but with a twist! The Slow food movement is expressed at its best! A must in Toscana, a true gem you’ll never forget!

Amazing meal in a beautiful place. The ingredients are simple but well treated and beautifully served. We mostly ate plant based items because we wanted to keep it light for a midday meal, but the selection includes meat based traditional dishes. The wine list is an education. The best part is they do not allow smoking, not even outdoors.

This restaurant is top notch. Everything was just perfect, the food, the service, the atmosphere. One of the best meals I've had in my seven weeks in Italy. The lasagna was incredible.

Located in the heart of Pitigliano’s old town, Hostaria del Ceccottino offers elevated Tuscan cuisine in a stylish, softly lit space. We came here for a romantic dinner and were not disappointed. The highlights were the beef tagliata with rosemary potatoes and the handmade tortelli stuffed with ricotta and spinach. The wine recommendation – a local Syrah – was spot on. Service was polished and professional, and the setting made it feel like a special evening. It’s a bit pricier (€50–€60 per person), but absolutely worth it for the quality and atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or celebration.

Stayed at the hotel and ate at the restaurant. The hotel was absolutely top notch, well stocked, really beautiful in a great location. The hotel owner was lovely and really looked after us. We ate at the restaurant as well and it was amazing. Great menu, top quality ingredients, excellent wine and great service.

We had an excellent meal. Apperitivi, antipasti and secundi. Beautifully cooked, excellent service, reasonable prices.

their stuff is very friendly and food delicious , highly recommend

1598 a synagogue was built here, in 1622 ghetto created, in 19 century 1/4 of population were Jews- city was known for Jews as little Jerusalem. During the war 30 remaining Jews were helped by locals and hidden in the countryside

Nice museum

Fabulous museum from the ghetto starting back to 1555 where the village of Pitigliano nicknamed "the small Jerusalem" was a place of refuge for the Jewish community, seeking to flee the city of Rome so as not to be subject to Catholic authority. The ghetto as such was formed at the beginning of the 17th Century which the Medici dynasty took command of the city and restricted Jewish mobility. Yet still the community was well integrated and respected, collaborating in the economic, social and cultural fabric of the town. Prior to the 2nd World War, the community was numerous and active. Throughout the 19th Century when there was greater freedom of movement, many members of the community left Pitigliano for the more economically attractive cities of Rome, Florence, Lucca or Livorno. By 1938, however, after Nazi racial laws took effect only 60 members of the community remained, many escaping capture thanks to their neighbors, but forced to hide with farming families in the valley. A plaque in the Ghetto commemorates the 22 Jews born in Pitigliano who were killed in concentration camps. The town of Pitigliano sided strongly against deportation and in 2002 the Yad Vashem Institute in Jerusalem, the honor of the "Righteous Among the Nations" was conferred to some Pitigliano families for their attempt to save their fellow citizens. The Synagogue was built in 1598 and following a landslide rebuilt in 1995 by the town. This visit include the synagogue (restored in 1995), Cultural center, ritual bathhouse, wine cellar, bakery, dye-works, all of which are dug into the native tufa stone, as well as the the fairly non-traditional Jewish cemetery tucked in a cypress grove below the town.

Small but very complete and informative museum with content in both Italian and English. As an American Jew, I found it interesting to read the descriptions of things I already know, to see how they are explained to others. I would recommend this visit as a wonderful learning experience for those who want to know more about the Jewish religion.

(Translated by Google) I had never entered a synagogue or visited a Jewish ghetto and this was the opportunity. Both the story and the visit were interesting. I was even more interested given the events in Palestine which I continue to think that the ongoing genocide is absolutely unjustified and unacceptable (Original) Non ero mai entrato in una sinagoga né avevo visitato un ghetto ebraico e questa è stata l’occasione. Interessante sia la storia che la visita. Ero interessato ancora di più visto le vicende in Palestina che continuo a pensare che il genocidio in corso sia assolutamente ingiustificato e inaccettabile

Incredible!

(Translated by Google) If you happen to be in Pitigliano, a visit to the Synagogue/Jewish Museum is a MUST...here you can see and feel the suffering these people endured over the centuries. The guide (very knowledgeable and available to answer any questions) is the main architect of this experience, but the rooms, where everyday life took place "underground," are the real backdrop. You can (and I recommend) book your visit in advance. (Original) Se capitate a Pitigliano, è OBBLIGATORIO fare la visita alla Sinagoga/Museo Ebraico...qui potete vedere e percepire la sofferenza a cui questo popolo ha dovuto sottostare nei secoli. La guida (Preparatissima e disponibile a rispondere ad ogni tipo di interrogativo) è l'artefice principale di questa esperienza, ma i locali, in cui la vita di tutti i giorni si consumava "sottoterra", sono la vera e propria scenografia. Potete (e vi consiglio) prenotare la visita in anticipo.

An interesting historical attraction with attractive views towards the city on the rock. Unfortunately, the museum is very poorly maintained, it would deserve better cleanliness and order.

Ok for a walk in the woods and some Etruscan tombs

Un poco caro para lo que ofrece pero se pasa un rato agradable si vas con niños. Nos acerca al mundo etrusco (Translated by Google) A little expensive for what it offers but it is a pleasant time if you go with children. It brings us closer to the Etruscan world

(Translated by Google) An interesting site. I recommend trekking shoes, however no smooth soles because going down you will find mossy areas even in summer. Ferns, liverwort, perda plague plants.. and others.. The path goes down, then you have to go back up but even a lazy little by little there is the way.. 🙆 Women, go down lightly, without a bag, at most a torch to peek into the tombs is a bottle of water. If you don't want to buy it on site. 👍 (Original) Un sito interessante. Consiglio scarpe da trekking, comunque no suole lisce perché scendendo si trovano zone muschiate anche d'estate. Felci, pianta epatica, piante perda peste.. ed altre.. Il percorso va scendendo, dopo c'è da risalire ma anche un pigro piano piano c'è la fa.. 🙆 Donne scendete leggere, senza borsa, al massimo una torcina per sbirciare nelle tombe è una borraccia di acqua. Se non volete comprarla in loco. 👍

(Translated by Google) Recommended for all those tourists who are interested in the historical (Etruscan) side of the region. It follows the paths in the tuff with 1.5 km to reach the furthest site. Sports or trekking shoes are recommended. (Original) Consigliato per tutti quei turisti che siano interessati al lato storico (etrusco) della regione. Segue le vie nel tufo con 1,5 km per raggiungere il sito più lontano. Consigliate scarpe sportive o da trekking.

(Translated by Google) beautiful circuit between vie cave and necropolis. furthermore, my children did a workshop on Etruscan writing, learning the alphabet and writing on wax tablets. Irene, the archaeologist who ran the workshop, was very good. Interesting workshop for parents too! thank you so much 🙏🏻 (Original) bellissimo circuito tra vie cave e necropoli. inoltre i miei figli hanno fatto un laboratorio sulla scrittura etrusca, imparando l'alfabeto e scrivendo su tavolette di cera. irene, l'archeologa che ha tenuto il laboratorio, è stata bravissima. laboratorio interessante anche per i genitori! grazie mille 🙏🏻

(Translated by Google) Already upon arrival the place manifested itself due to the carelessness of details. See the photo of the flags at the entrance. Even though it was Saturday with many tourists and on the internet the opening was indicated at 4pm, the entrance was closed without any indication of the time. Really disappointing for those who come from far away and certainly know that they won't be able to return anytime soon. (Original) Già all'arrivo il luogo si è manifestato per la noncuranza dei particolari. Vedi la foto delle bandiere all'ingresso. Nonostante fosse sabato con tanti turisti ed in internet l'apertura fosse indicata alle h 16 l'ingresso era chiuso senza alcuna i ducazione di orario. Veramente deludente per chi iene da lontano e certamente sa che non ci potra tornare a breve.

(Translated by Google) For those who love via caves it is a wonderful place. Come equipped with hiking shoes and water. It's a long way down, but it's worth it. (Original) Per chi ama le via cave è un posto meraviglioso. Venite equipaggiati con scarpe da trekking e acqua. Si scende giù di parecchio.ma ne vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) Too bad, closed until spring 2024. But an idyllic place! (Original) Schade, bis Frühling 2024 geschlossen. Aber ein idyllischer Ort!

Probably the most spectacular spot in the valley, easily reachable from the main road. On the same location there’s a lovely wine shop inside a small niche with local wines and typical product. The owner Cesare is really friendly...we had a glass of res wine together!

Nice place... It's a @villavistalago suggestion. Follow @villavistalago on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

Very peaceful country side ..people are quiet gentle and helpful..

Stunning city.

Beautiful view of the city

Amazing!

Wow

Very suggestive place! Fresh hand made pastas were amazing and well cooked. Local liquor on point. The only thing th potatoes in the menu are not oven potatoes but French fries and its not specified , apart from that great place, great stuff!!!! We will go back there

Great little spot for a delicious meal in a laid back atmosphere. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the vibe in the square. Very affordable option with delicious pastas and local wines. Our kids loved the food too!

Amazing food. Ordered bruschetta with vegetables and gnocchi ragu. Recommend stopping by here to eat lunch while in town.

it was so good absolutely delicious food and deserves way more hype! get this place on the map couldn’t recommend it enough

Fantastic food and service. Pasta dishes were delicious and the vegetable side was simple yet incredible. One of the best meals we had during our time in Italy.

We had a lovely lunch in the sun! I had the homemade bean soup and really enjoyed it along with the ruccola and tomato salad. My husband had the raviolis with boar sauce and enjoyed it. We ended the lunch with a nice espresso while soaking up the sun. The service and food were fantastic!

Our first of 3 nights in Pitigliano, and this was the best. I opted for the wild boar ragu (Cinghiale) and the wife had duck. The duck was quite nice, but the wild boar ragu was amazing, I tried it again another local restaurant, didn't compare. The service was amazing, tentative, friendly, language barrier but we all worked through it. No complaints and highly recommended.

The staff were really courteous, spoke english well and the food was absolutely great. We have ordered Pecorino Cheeseplate and Gnocchi with Wild boar stew/ragu both were delicious and tasty.

A typical tuscan restaurant with traditional plates. It 's small so I suggest to reserve

BEST BEST BEST!! The tomato pasta was simple yet amazing. The other dishes we tried were also great. This place is 100% recommended!

In the very heart of Pitigliano. Very pleasant atmosphere and solid food. Local beer very good.

Positive experience, with good food, good service and nice atmosphere. Kind and professional personnel.

Pleasant. Nothing really wrong, but this place feels like “ I order, you bring, I pay”. Done. Positive is the extensive wine list. Food regular quality, no problems. Our waitress was a pleasant , efficient person.

We had a great experience at this place. Food was delicious from the cheese and salumi selection to the first course. Perfect also for vegan as they serve a very tasty soup (I tried it even in Summer time). Location is also great and romantic, just next to the aqueduct arches. Definitely recommended!

We had great pizza here when visiting the beautiful Pitigliano. I had a Franco and my husband a Margherita with Bufala cheese. Thin crust baked to perfection and very tasty. Cool inside under all the arches!

Outstanding lunch on a Sunday! The risotto was sublime!

Everything the best! Pizza, made at the place on the view, was quite large with a lot of topics - Capriciosa positive-surprising because of unusual ingredients. The wholegrain pizza is also possible - a huge plus. Saute of broccoli delicious. Good prices regarding to quality and size. If you want to eat a not very sweet dessert (yeah, not everyone can eat sweetness 😁) I recommend to ask a waiter about that - I got the panna cotta which wasn't included in the current menu and it was really only little-sweet (in the normal price). Waitress are great, they speak english, very sympathetic and talkative. They play a good rock music. Sorry for a long description, but it was so nice supper that I had to... 😊

A party of four we tried 6 different dishes. One soup, one pizza, two primis and two secondis. All but the soup (correct) was exceptionally good. Take it from someone who takes special interest in the Italian cousine 😉 Tartufo dishes (pici and pizza) are must try dishes

Nice restaurant with excellent food. Local specialities and also pizza speciale. Not so pricey as other places in the old town, also very good service. We will be back, should we visit Pitigliano again.

Delicious. The soup was really nice and tasty. Spaghetti with bacala was very very yummy. Plus the pizza gourmet with postacchio was sublime. For the pizza you can also ask the lateral with filling (I asked for anchos and cheese as lateral filling). The price is very correct. We could see the restaurant is good as many locals were also having dinner. Well done.

Amazing local food! Extremely friendly staff!

Il Tufo Allegro has a more modern vibe while still staying rooted in local flavors. The interior is cool and minimalist, with shelves of natural wines and creative plating. We started with a zucchini flower tempura and moved on to tagliolini with porcini mushrooms and thyme – fragrant, rich, and absolutely delicious. They also had vegetarian options, which was a welcome surprise in a meat-heavy region. Our server was helpful and clearly passionate about the menu. We spent about €35 per person. It’s a great stop for food lovers looking for something a little different in Pitigliano.

The waiter was drunk, forgot our order and brought the main dishes 30 min apart for a group of 4. The food was too salty (esp. meat), except pasta that was simple. Their terminal didn't work, so we had to go to the ATM to get cash. Overall a bad experience, no view, bad service, bad food. I do NOT recommend. There are soo many other places in the area, go to those

Great meal at a reasonable price. Attention to details and fusion of local flavors with more daring culinary expedients. The acquacotta e lamb stew were amazing. Servers were nice and the whole experience was extremely enjoyable. House red wine was amazing too, which is a plus!

Adorable restaurant with such a nice staff!! The Cuban waitress was so outgoing and the chef was adorable!!! Food is amazing as well and vibes there are incredible. Definitely recommend

We came to this place upon the recommendation from the Jewish and we were not disappointed in the least. they were extremely nice to us and let us in early since my wife was pregnant and we just needed to sit down and brought us water immediately and then explain to us their menu of typical dishes. The food was extremely tasty and clearly the pasta was handmade and fresh. They use typical, fresh, seasonal ingredients and allow the quality of the products to speak for themselves and really be the protagonists of every dish. The smoked ricotta gnocchi with aubergines were delicious. The classic dish of tomato Pappa was amazing and you shouldn't miss it! since they don't take the tip on credit card I asked them tfor a coffee to split change after I paid the bill and they said you don't need to order a coffee to get change I'll give you change and offer you the coffee which was very nice and speaks to the pride that they take in their dishes and in making you feel welcome. Definitely coming again.

Great experience! Excellent food and the energy was lovely :) definitely recommend the tartar with truffles

We had amazing dinner in this very foodie place 🥰 so different so special so light and housemade food with amazing ingredients
