Amazing food and wines, great value for money, best location in Cortona. Very friendly staff that isn’t rushing you, nice table linen and the busy square with tourists at a entertaining distance. But the food, oh my. Generous portions and can recommend the truffle dishes. All courses showed a great attention to detail and didn’t hold back with luxurious and fresh ingredients. Ambiance is by far the best of Cortona, regal but not formal as staff is super friendly. Sommelier let’s you taste the wine they sell per glass. Wine list is extensive and gets expensive but if you don’t want to bother, the wine served by the glass was excellent. Circa 8-10% more expensive than the other restaurants in town. The views alone would warrant this extra, as the taste and details to the food served was easily twice as good as other samplings in town - who weren’t bad at all. Note we have returned and added a second batch of photos, so in reality the photos cover two lunches. Highly recommended.

Learned about Cortona and this restaurant from Conan O'Brien and Jordan Schlansky. Booked a month ahead for Dec 30. Had stuffed zucchini with ricotta, wild boar ragu, all fantastic. Tiramisu takes the cake, as it's served in a plant pot and its taste is delicious. Asked for a scoop of vanilla ice cream to accompany the Tortino and they happily obliged. Also impressed with the sommelier who recommended the finest Chianti wines. Highly trained and attentive staff as expected for such a high-end establishment. The prices are not high at all, all things considered. Highly recommended

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Cortona! We went here for dinner during a recent stay in Cortona and had a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming and elegant, overlooking the beautiful city center of Cortona. We found the service to be excellent - attentive during our entire meal, while giving us the space to relax and enjoy our dinner. This is a must do for dinner during any trip to Cortona!

Good spot if you’re willing to splurge. The food was delicious but the experience was a bit pricey. They were able to provide some of the best vegetarian and gluten free (gf) food we had in Italy. Happy with treating ourselves due to the food and service provided. Make a reservation.

This was my favorite dinner while in Cortana. We sat outside on the terrace, beautiful view. We are still talking about the food there - amazing.

Ristorante La Loggetta was the most beautiful place to start our sister trip in Cortona. It was our first dinner in town, and it set the tone for an unforgettable 10 days. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the clam vongole and octopus, which was my favorite — it had a touch of passion fruit that I would have never thought to pair with the protein, but it created the most incredible flavor. My sister had the pigeon and carpaccio, and every single dish was incredible, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. We were also lucky enough to be seated outside facing the square, which made the evening even more special. Dining there felt like a true celebration of Italian cuisine and the magic of Cortona. The atmosphere was lively yet elegant, and the service was attentive throughout the entire meal. Given its popularity (and for good reason!), I highly recommend booking a reservation a couple of weeks in advance to secure a good table. La Loggetta was truly a wonderful dining experience — one we will always remember as the perfect start to our sister trip in Tuscany.

We visited this restaurant 6 years ago and it was absolutely amazing. I somehow posted my review to the wrong La Loggetta in Montepulciano so am reposting to the correct La Loggetta in Cortona! … The steak, gnocchi and risotto were all some of the best we had on our trip. For parents with a baby, they even had a changing table outside the bathroom! Highly recommend and hope the quality has not changed since we were there. Can't wait to visit again someday.

This is one of the most magnificent restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting in Italy. The steak and shaved truffles was truly incredible. Service was impeccable. If you are in Cortona or nearby it’s a must to visit. Absolutely divine
