tuscany Hill town
About ten years ago I stayed in Montalcino, Italy.We took a short day trip to one of the smaller hill towns and all I remember is entering via a very small archway which had been pictured in one of my travel books. We ate at a friendly local restaurant which had a small terrace overlooking a beautiful valley. I cant remember the name of this town and none of the descriptions of the larger more well known towns seem to be it. Any Ideas??

You should go on Jeopardy and take "Tuscany for $500". That is exactly correct. I recognized the restaurant immediately even though I didn't remember the name or town name. What a wonderful spot. I am going back in June and am so glad the restaurant is still there.
Just out of curiosity how are you so familiar with it?
Thank you again.

Caffe Poliziano in Montepulciano?
Ristorante ? Caffè Poliziano
Arches you might walk through entering Montepulciano:

Arch you drive through leaving Montepulciano:

But FYI many/most Tuscan towns have one or more archway openings in the ancient city walls.

Thank you
Thanks you for all of your replies. La Porta is a wonderful friendly restaurant in Monticchiello. Make sure you go if you are in the area. No tourists and a beautiful setting. Can't wait to get back.
