Chiostro Cennini: a historic table in Sarteano

In Sarteano, the Chiostro Cennini is not just a simple restaurant. It is a place set in a 15th-century cloister, an address that offers you an experience where the historic setting matters as much as the plate. People come here for the unique atmosphere of this medieval spot.

What you really eat here: evolving Tuscan cuisine

The house offers Tuscan cuisine, but be careful, their menu is not set in stone. It changes every week, which shows a certain liveliness. You will find dishes like the seasonal vegetable flan with its parmesan fondue, or a selection of local cheeses served with jams and focaccia. For those who like stronger flavors, the chicken liver terrine with its pan brioche and vin santo reduction is also on the menu.

The setting is the real strength of this restaurant. It is located in a 15th-century chiostro, with an inner courtyard and a loggiato. It is a rustic, old place that really comes into its own in the evening, when the atmosphere becomes lively. There is even a summer lounge bar in the courtyard. This is an address where the overall experience is highlighted, more than high-flying cuisine seeking a star. On the other hand, you should know that if the weather is cool or rainy, some areas may be closed, and some customers regret that.
