Il Mestolo In Siena

Il Mestolo Restaurant is one of Siena's gastronomic highlights, surprising with refined seafood cuisine in the heart of Tuscany. The challenge of offering the freshest seafood far from the coast has been masterfully met: each dish expresses an authentic connection to the region, thanks to select ingredients and an attention to detail that is evident from the first bite to the last. The menu is a journey through Mediterranean flavors and contemporary creativity: for example, the scallops with pappa al pomodoro are a perfect match, but in general, all the seafood is showcased to the fullest. Each course is elegantly presented and intensely flavorful, a sign of a cuisine that focuses on substance without sacrificing refinement. The service is attentive, professional, and friendly, making guests feel pampered without ever being intrusive. In short, Il Mestolo is the ideal place for those seeking top-notch cuisine, dishes crafted with attention to detail, and the freshest seafood, in an elegant setting that blends tradition and innovation.

Excellent value for money. The vegetables were prepared with respect for the product and were very tasty. The fish was incredibly fresh. We'll be back!

I was very unsure whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. Given the ridiculously high prices, the food should be of equal quality. The flavor wasn't bad, but I have some concerns about the freshness of the fish; some cuts were tough. The atmosphere is elegant and the staff is courteous, but the final bill was truly disproportionate to the amount offered. In short: not a bad experience, but I'm not sure I'd return given the lack of consistency between quality and prices.

Excellent food and very kind staff

Pleasantly surprised by this amazing restaurant. Full of locals which is always a good sign. The scallops, lobster pasta and the octopus were phenomenal. The staff extremely friendly and helpful. Experiences like this make an Italian holiday sublime. As a dessert the ricotta ice cream with figs or the cheese cake.

We had such an amazing lunch! Not only was the food amazing (I would say Michelin star quality) but the staff was also the most friendly. They made us feel very much at home. Compared to places in the city centre of Seina, this place is super easy to access with its own parking space. For the quality of the food it is super affordable. You must visit this place if you’re around!!

A restaurant with a good selection of fresh, perfectly prepared seafood. The atmosphere is relaxed yet elegant. The service is attentive and efficient. One of the best restaurants in Siena. I recommend it. The restaurant is part of the Buon Ricordo association. You choose a specific dish or menu item from the menu and receive a ceramic souvenir as a gift.

Our dinner time was wonderful! It was not only because of the culinary experience, but the atmosphere and attention to detail from the staff were superb. Just marvelous!

Wonderful service and great food. We had a nice evening. They have free parking in the back with EV charge. We will be back.

Ottimo ristorante di pesce, piatti innovativi, cortesia e simpatia del personale. Molto buoni anche i pici col ragù di carne che possono soddisfare i bambini.
