La Guardiola Wine & Food — Restaurant in Unione dei Comuni Valdichiana Senese

We came to the tiny Tuscan hilltop village of Monticchiello to have a wander around. The town’s piazzas and little alleyways are stunningly beautiful. We were looking for a late lunch and La Guardiola was the only place still serving food. Set on the outskirts of town, with a rustic courtyard overlooking the rolling hills, it initially felt less polished than some of the other restaurants in town.

At this point, almost 15 minutes had already passed. That was the point at which we left the restaurant. Unfortunately I can't give a review about the food. We cannot recommend...
