Le Vecchie Mura

Really is the restaurant with the best view in town. And the food is pretty amazing too without being super $$. This was definitely one of my husband and my favorite meals while being in San Gimignano. The bruschetta combo is always a good start to share, but there was definitely one that was particularly yummy with garlic and eggplant. As for the secondi, we loved the wild boar and the saffron pork. The meats were cooked perfectly and the sauces were very savory. There’s so much more to the menu that we would’ve loved to try (such as the ribollita which we discovered and fell in love in San Gimignano) had we known about this place earlier so that we could’ve come back a few more times!
And of course you have to get a bottle of vino. Cheers!

We ate here two nights in a row. It was amazing. Hands down the best cheese plate I have ever had. Every cheese was delicious and it came with honey, marmalade, and compote. Bottles of wine were 9 Euro and they were delicious. I had gnocchi arrabiatta and it was the best pasta I have ever had. I ate every last bite! The service was great which is not the norm in many European restaurants. And to top it all off that view was amazing!

Loved our dinner here! Freshest tomatoes in Tuscany :) Be sure to try the local white wine — Vernaccia. I’m not a big fan of white wines, but when in Rome… or Tuscany, I guess… Pair it with a a fresh salad, chicken, fish, or dessert and you will be in for a treat. Salute!

Le Vecchie Mura was chosen because of it’s gluten free options. They offered homemade gf bread, pizzas and pasta. My gf pasta did not disappoint. My son also got the local specialty. wild boar. It was not gamey, and also surprisingly very tasty and extraordinarily tender. This was one of my son’s top meals the two weeks he was in Italy. One of our parties veal with saffron disappointed a bit. He could barely taste the saffron. It could have been better. On the upside, they introduced us to pecorino cheese and honey. What a tasty combination to have as an appetizer. Lastly, La Vecchie Mura is very much off the beaten path mostly frequented by locals. Even though the street signs direct you to the middle of a residential neighborhood, trust the signs. This is the only restaurant for several blocks.

Delicious dinner with great white wine — hidden gem worth the short walk under the archway! Excellent service — tagliani with mushrooms wow!

Very stylish and modern in an old hill town. Food was good and outside seating had great views. Biggest disappointment was the service. I am pretty easy to please, however, in this case all but one of the people that helped us made us feel like we were a bother. Missed orders and didn’t even ask if we would like additional drinks. I think there are others you should try before this one.

Zugegeben nicht ganz billig und ein bisschen schnöselig. Aber nur ein bisschen. Der blick ist atemberaubend, das essen solide. Die Portionen können ein bisschen üppiger ausfallen. Dafür ist der wein lecker und nicht überteuert. Für den blick im Garten jederzeit wieder.

We loved this restaurant so much that we went twice in a week! A really friendly, yet stylish looking restaurant just on the outskirts of the town, this place seems to be frequented by Italians and tourists alike, and when you’ve tasted the food, you can tell why. I had probably the best meal I had all week here — lamb baked with olive oil and rosemary, just so succulent and unctous that even now my mouth waters when I think about it. Also on the table was a massive 1kg T-​Bone Bistecca Fiorentina: really tender and pink and only just managed between two hearty appetites. I had a taste and it melted in the mouth, just like the lamb.
Desserts, too were well worth having. The tiramisu was lovely but my personal favourite was the semifreddo.
And the icing on the cake? The delicious wine that was, ridiculously, only (I think) 7 euros per bottle. Half bottles were just 4 euros. Amazing.
