Surrounded by a warm and refined atmosphere, you will taste healthy dishes that enhance the flavor of the raw materials and satisfy even the most demanding palates. Quality, taste, and simplicity will be the watchwords to combine the pleasure of food with well-being and to offer Fonteverde guests genuine and appetizing nutrition with the taste and flavors of Tuscan and Mediterranean tradition. At the restaurants La Corte and Ferdinando I, you can delight in refined yet healthy and light recipes.
Ristorante Ferdinando I is a historic and unique setting within the Renaissance portico. Today it is completely renovated. The large windows overlooking the Val d'Orcia define the spaces and open to natural light or the enchantment of the night view. It is like a very refined orangery, with Viennese straw chandeliers, antique chairs, and blush pink armchairs. Here for dinner, you can enjoy a simply magnificent menu that combines traditional Tuscan dishes with creations born from our chefs' creativity, accompanied by an extraordinary wine list.
Il ristorante La Corte, dedicated to breakfast and lunch, now boasts a new elegance. The large windows opening onto the terrace and the landscape illuminate the interiors. The dominant colors are the warm white of the floor, the cerulean of the sofas and walls decorated with fine tone-on-tone geometric designs, and the beech color of the chairs. All the furnishings have an essential and linear design, enhancing the warmth of the wood.
For lunch, La Corte offers a buffet of fresh salads, tasty appetizers, and Tuscan specialties to be enjoyed in front of a breathtaking view, during the beautiful season also on the magnificent terrace.
The large terrace overlooking the Val d'Orcia hosts the tables of the "Il Falconiere" bar. From here you can admire the splendid panorama of the Sienese hills while sipping an aperitif or enjoying a dinner that, served on the terrace, will have an unforgettable flavor.
The Chef
Original creations, Mediterranean flavors, and fresh lightness in balance between tastes and colors that delight the palate and enchant the eyes.
The essence of chef Vincenzo Balzano's cuisine is to create dishes with intense flavors. The most refined palates will be surprised by excellent dishes, connoisseurs by "gourmet" menus accompanied by tastings of fine wines. For those with particular needs, the chef offers dietary specialties. For children, on the other hand, particularly tasty, tempting, and colorful dishes.
The chef creates dietetic pastries using alternative, unrefined sugars. One standout dish is the mascarpone gateau and almond-only pastries, the must-have of Fonteverde.
