La Locanda dei Tintori In Siena

25/08/2025: Outstanding Osteria. Simple food properly prepared and full of flavor. Marco’s interpretation of Cacio i Pepe is unique but superb. Let Katerina choose your wines — she knows what she is doing. I ate there twice in 6 days and was very satisfied both times.

25/08/2025: Look, this is a proper osteria. The kind where, when a friend from out of town asks me where to eat, I send him straight here. Here, they focus on substance, and what substance! The first courses are serious fare: some incredible pici cacio e pepe, creamy like you'll never find anywhere else. And as for the meat, there's little to complain about: tender and perfectly cooked. Caterina and Marco, the owners, are down-to-earth people who make you feel at home without too many frills. The place is small, welcoming, and on one of those streets that smells of history. There's always someone who nitpicks, but when Sienese themselves return and bring friends, there must be a reason. If you want to eat well, this is the place. Make a reservation, otherwise you'll be left out.
