La Corte Dell' Ulivo — Restaurant in Unione dei Comuni Valdichiana Senese

La Corte Dell Ultivo meaning The court yard of the Olive trees, but at this restaurant you can't get a fresh bottle of olive oil only packets of Olive oil. August 5, 2021, A beautiful outdoors atmosphere and it ends there. There were adults three a toddler dining and we were served exactly Three Slices of Dry Bread and three packets of tasteless olive oil in a outdoor restaurant was surrounded by olive trees in the middle Montepulciano, Italy renowned for Italian food and olive oil. At this point I felt as if I was on a airplane with the packets of olive oil. We were charged 10% for the table cover charge called Coperto, but the table was covered with with paper placemats. We order bruschetta to share called Fantasia di Crostini with different toppings. We cut bruschetta in half to share. The toppings were cold and soggy, the 3 of us including the Italian baby couldn’t finish a small half slice of the bruschetta. Insalata Mista which is The Salad this was on a small plate of non-descripted lettuce and 3 thinly slice tomatoes no mix lettuce. The dinner ordered was Ravioli con Burrata and Tagliate zucchine e pe corino. The entire meal was tasteless, the Ravioli was cold and fill with water inside the cooked Ravioli. The Tagliatelle or flat spaghetti in cream was cold pasty, sticky and mushy sauce that appeared to have been sitting for a while. When I put my fork in to take a portion one solid glob of the entire dish came out on my fork. We were also served 3 plastic packets parmesan cheese that was perspiring in the plastic packet and tasted rancid. This entire shared meal was not edible we eat a couple of bits a left. It was a waste of time to complain, for the service was bad where the servers seem to be indifference about the job like robots, they only took the order and sever the food, they basically had no emotion. The meal receipt was not brought to the table we had to ask how to check out and the waiter gesture to go inside. Once inside the elderly owner was confused with the several receipts in his hands and on his cell phone, he didn't once look at us or speak to us mannerly salutation. Luckily, we had a few leftover slices of pizza in our apartment to share amongst the 3 of us and the baby.

It was the worst dinner I had in Tuscany. It started with the waitress who did not know the food in menu and had to repeate and show on the menu 3 times to understand what I want. The special dish of the day was sea food spaghetti which I ordered, but it was a big mistake. They came with broken shells mixed in the paste so you can imagine how it felt while eating. And at the entrance table was sitting a man that was trying to look like the restaurant's boss who was smoking, coughing and snizing right to our table. We also asked for a bottled beer and they only brought a glass of 400 ml of beer, eventhough I saw that they opened a 500 ml bottle at the bar. This restaurant is shame for the...

So sorry for this honest review.. 😔 4cheese pizza was excellent, so was the atmosphere, but that's it.. 😢 We ordered raviolies - 4 pieces were delivered, just mediocre.. the antipasti egg - sorry, but I cook my eggs better in the morning. The pasta with Montepulciano wine - looked bad and it tasted... well it didn't taste good at all. Service was ok, but nothing special. All in all, it was our last dinner in Tuscany and it was just not good at all unfortunately.. the place has potential, it looks great and the backyard is very private and nice, but kitchen really has to improve to be...
