Bottiglieria Salefino In Siena

26/01/2025: Not only good products but also a simple and genuine kindness of times gone by. On a cold January morning along the road that leads to the Abbey of San Galgano we stopped for a short break in this small bar. Very simple and spartan but welcoming place, wood stove lit, frank and kind manager. We also note that it is not simply a bar but also offers cold cuts and local wine. Returning from the visit, eager for a bit of warmth, we decide to stop and eat something, sitting in the heat near the stove. As I leave, however, I forget the wool hat, a gift from my wife, of which I am particularly fond. Unfortunately I realized it much later, too late to go back, also because the long journey back home awaited us. The next day, while tidying up, I come across the bar receipt and so I think of giving it a try. Not very convinced I call and ask if the hat has been found and if it is possible, perhaps, to have it sent to me. my expenses. The owner unexpectedly replied yes, simply saying, "don't worry, I'll package it well for you... some courier will pass through here in the next few days". Honestly, I didn't really believe it but, instead, after a few days the postman rang the intercom and asked me to go down and get a package... I thought it was one of the usual parcels from my children who now buy everything online... but instead I read on the envelope "Bar Frosini" and then I understand and, very happy, I immediately ask how much there is to pay: nothing already all paid! What can I say... THANK YOU VERY KIND... If you find yourself in those parts, stop in this bar... you will find a simple but welcoming place, a good platter of local products, good wine, in winter a very warm stove and a simple and frank but extremely kind manager.
