The story
Set among the rolling hills of Montepulciano, Lupaia offers a dining experience that is firmly rooted in the traditions of the region. The restaurant’s Michelin Recommended status speaks to its consistent quality, but the real draw is the honest, unfussy approach to Italian country cooking. Here, the land is the source and the inspiration.
The kitchen works with seasonal ingredients, many of which are grown on the property or sourced from nearby farms. This farm-to-table ethos is not a marketing line—it’s a daily practice. The result is a menu that changes with the harvest, with dishes that highlight the natural flavours of the Tuscan countryside. The cuisine is straightforward, generous, and deeply satisfying, exactly what you would hope for from a restaurant that calls itself a country kitchen.
Dining at Lupaia is as much about the atmosphere as the food. Outdoor seating allows guests to take in the sweeping views of vineyards and olive groves, while the building itself retains the character of a restored farmhouse. Parking is available on site, making it an easy stop for a leisurely lunch or a long dinner that stretches into the evening. The warmth of the service and the unhurried pace of the meal invite you to stay a while.
