This is one of the best dining experiences we have been fortunate enough to experience. The atmosphere is fresh modern feel in an historic quaint building. The menu was paired with wine for each dish and from start to finish it was excellent! The dishes were beautifully prepared and each bite was mouth watering and with such unique flavors.<br>Each dish was professionally explained when served. I highly recommend this young restaurant and believe they will receive a Michelin star in the near future:)
Phenomenal tasting and extremely attentive. The venison and the scallop dish were some of my favorites I have ever had. Truly great experience 👏
We didn't have a reservation for the restaurant, but were shown up right away.<br><br>We started with a delicious champagne and chose the five-course menu, one of which was vegetarian. They were very helpful with the vegetarian menu. The flavors were exceptionally simple, yet so refined. The signature dishes for meat and vegetarians were especially fantastic! To finish, an insane tiramisu and an incredible espresso that I won't forget. Superb service from the family business with a lot of love for their craft. I would definitely recommend it and come back when I am in Cortona again!
We had a delicious meal at a beautiful location with super friendly service. We were received with care and great hospitality, were served beautifully portioned dishes with unique flavors such as the coffee mayonnaise, and sat wonderfully in the beautiful courtyard with rose bushes next to the tables. This is a lovely little gem in Cortona.
A top-notch gastronomic experience in a charming outdoor setting. All the dishes were exceptionally high quality, even with "simple" ingredients, but crafted with a decidedly unconventional approach. Try it to believe it.
Top notch creativity for food and service went above and beyond. Definitely go!

Monica and Giacomo welcomed us in a simply enchanting way, with a kindness and elegance that came straight from the heart and soul, making us feel immediately at ease, as if we were awaited guests in a special place.<br><br>The restaurant is marvelous, pervaded by a sense of absolute peace and nestled in a historical and architectural context of extraordinary value. Each space is curated with sensitivity, taste, and profound attention: the interior design is refined, contemporary, and exquisitely sophisticated, of a level that would fit perfectly in Milan, London, or Tokyo. But perhaps—or rather, certainly—it is Cortona itself, with its history, its timeless elegance, and its beauty, that more than any other place deserves such a unique setting.<br><br>The exceptional quality of the dishes perfectly complements the magnificence of the setting. In every course, you can sense research, passion, careful selection of ingredients, and meticulous attention to every single detail. The cuisine of Chef Pietro, Giacomo's talented and talented brother, manages to be refined, authentic, and deeply moving.<br><br>Everything contributes to creating a complete experience, where cuisine, architecture, atmosphere, hospitality, and design interact in perfect harmony.<br><br>L'Ortino is one of those places that truly lingers in your heart: a corner of beauty, balance, and golden proportions, where every element seems to be perfectly in place. An authentic, elegant, intimate, and deeply rejuvenating place, where time slows down and you rediscover the pleasure of living every moment to the fullest.<br><br>A heartfelt thank you to Monica, Giacomo, and Pietro for making our experience so wonderful and unforgettable. We will certainly return with great pleasure.<br><br>Highly recommended: a true gem in the heart of Cortona.
We went to L'Ortino in Cortona this evening and were truly thrilled. The atmosphere is intimate, elegant, and very romantic, perfect for a special dinner.<br>The cuisine won us over; every dish was prepared with great technique, but above all, with creativity and personality. Authentic flavors revisited with originality, carefully presented, and perfectly balanced.<br>Special praise to the team who run the restaurant: they are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about their work, making you feel welcomed from start to finish.<br>An experience we recommend without hesitation to anyone seeking high-quality cuisine in an intimate and authentic atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!
A small haven of pleasure where you can spend a pleasant evening.<br>My wife and I chose Ortino for our wedding anniversary.<br>The owner, Giacomo, explained a bit about the history of how the idea of transforming the old family pastry shop into a restaurant came about.<br>He's a very kind and knowledgeable person.<br>The dishes are so good that some of them are impossible not to mop up with bread.<br>I highly recommend them.<br>Best regards<br>Alessandro & Vanina
What animal absolutely fabulous, delectable, creative explosion of flavor. Highly recommend the seven course chef special and wine pairing. Everything was fantastic and I will definitely spend many hours dreaming of how to recreate the particularly amazing la orange scallops.
We had an amazing experience. It was our first time doing a fine dining concept and it did not disappoint. Expect to be amazed with great tastes, textures, smells and stories. We opted for the 5 course menu. We started with 3 pairing wines and then switched to 5 because they were just that good and this is not something we do every day. If you are in Cortona and love food, this is one you have to try.
Total culinary experience.....the 3 partners....(family management) ...simply splendid and professional with a tasting menu worthy of the service.
Nice and clean fine dining restaurant. Service and care are excellent. Table reservation is required. There were several menu options. Also a vegetarian menu available. There were also many different wine packages. Wine was also available by the bottle. I warmly recommend it to lovers of good food.
