Montalcino or Pienza
I am visiting both Montalcino & Pienza and will stay 1 night in one of these places. Which has a better selections of restuarants and things to enjoy in the evening hours ?

We spent two nights in Montalcino last October and like you tried to decide between it at Pienza. I absolutely loved Montalcino and the surrounding area. The village is wonderful, small, great restaurants, great wine and very friendly people. We spent 2 1/2 weeks in Italy and Montalcino was one of my very favorite places. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for your thoughts. Looks like Montalcino. Yes, the Enoteca Fortezza is already on my list to sip the vino & watch the sun go down from there.
Any thoughts on best resturants. It's my birthday the day I am there, so I am looking for extra special. Possibly lunch at Banfi. Have read mixed reviews on Fattoria Barbi. Keep seeing a lot on Fiaschetrria (spelling?).
