Ristorante Le Terrazze
About
Ristorante Le Terrazze, part of the Hotel La Cisterna, offers a quintessential Tuscan culinary experience right on the historic Piazza della Cisterna. Set in the heart of San Gimignano, the restaurant provides panoramic views of the surrounding hills and a warm, inviting atmosphere for both locals and visitors. Guests can enjoy a carefully curated menu that features classic Tuscan dishes—bruschetta, fresh truffles, real Tuscan bistecca alla fiorentina, aromatic risotto, and a variety of handmade, thin‑crust pizzas—paired with a selection of regional wines from Vernaccia, Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and local craft beers. The restaurant caters to diverse dietary preferences, offering gluten‑free, vegetarian, and child‑friendly options, and can accommodate private celebrations such as small weddings and baptisms for up to 30 guests. During the open season (March through October) Le Terrazze operates two service windows: a full-service lunch and dinner window (12:00‑15:00) and an evening bar and aperitif window (19:00‑21:45). The evenings are especially popular for those looking to unwind in a relaxed, open‑air setting in the scenic courtyard of Piazza della Cisterna. Although reservations are not mandatory, diners are encouraged to book in advance via the official online booking platform (simplebooking.it) particularly during busy periods. Whether dining inside with the comforting glow of the piazza or enjoying the al‑fresco experience under the Tuscan sky, guests at Le Terrazze are treated to authentic flavors, impeccable service, and an unforgettable vista that captures the essence of medieval San Gimignano.
