Montalcino

Montalcino is one of the most picturesque hill towns in Tuscany, famous for its wine and mediaeval architecture. In other words, a long way from Gatley. You can get a taste of the Tuscan countryside, however, by making a move to Montalcino Restaurant on Church Road, where they offer up an authentic taste of Italy to all those who enter. Montalcino serve all the classics of the Italian culinary canon, but we’d like to focus on the house specialities which you will struggle to find elsewhere: our tips would be carpaccio di manzo to start, with peppered fillet steak, followed by a pasta course of penne alla norma, with aubergine and salted ricotta and then something truly special from the mains such as their branzino, roasted sea bass with tender broccoli and a salsa verde. Montalcino are new to the Manchester Italian restaurant scene, but they’re certainly making a name for themselves: book today to find out why.
