La Bottega Del Naturista, Pienza

Go across the street. The woman working the counter was one of the rudest I encountered in Italy. She completely ignored us and offered no help in explaining the different cheeses. We went to the shop across the street (Da Marusco e Maria) which was packed but who still made time for us and explained the different cheeses and let us try what we wanted. Do yourself a favor and go to Da Marusco instead.

MINUS 5 stars if possible!!! Worst experience during our 2 weeks stay in Italy. Don’t support people and shops like this. As we were looking for a wine and cheese to buy the owner was behaving like she is not depending on selling her products. As she wanted to cross the tiny shop, she pushed us out of her way with an expression full of hate and a disrespectful hand gesture...we didn’t know what was happening and why she act like she did. We immediately decided to leave the shop and buy our wine and cheese in another shop...and there are plenty of it with way more friendly personnel. This made her so angry that she was slamming the door behind us as we left!!!! Those people give a sh..t about customers and she ruined our opinion about the mostly nice people in the region! I only can recommend again not to support people with this attitude.
