La Mandorla - Gelateria Graniteria Artigianale In Siena

29/11/2025: Wow, what amazing home style Italian food. This was everything we had hoped for in a restaurant here. The pasta was top notch, the tomato sauce was simple but unlike any sauce we’ve tasted before, and the meats were very good. Their wines were also amazing, so definitely do the wine tasting option. We cannot recommend this place enough.

10/11/2025: Ambience and Atmosphere The setting is elegant without being pretentious: warm colors, earthy materials, rustic elements, and a touch of refinement. The restaurant truly creates the feeling of being immersed in nature, agriculture, and the history of the region. Cuisine and Menu The menu emphasizes home-grown ingredients: from farm-raised goose meat to extra virgin olive oil, truffles, and Tuscan natural wines. Standout dishes include pici all'aglione, goose egg tagliatelle with goose ragù, and goose meat prepared in various ways. The combination of traditional cuisine and creativity yields excellent results: the quality of the ingredients is clearly evident. Service and Hospitality The staff is often praised for their warm welcome, attention to detail, and care for guests. For example, recent reviews describe the friendly staff and impeccable service. Value for Money and Recommendations According to reviews, the price range is medium-high (around €30-€40 per person, according to some sources), but the feeling is that the quality justifies the investment. Tip: If you're vegan or have special dietary needs, ask in advance—many reviews note the restaurant's willingness to adapt dishes. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends, as the restaurant receives excellent ratings and can be very popular. A small flaw noted in some reviews: the smell of the kitchen can be perceived on clothing on some evenings—perhaps something to consider if you surprise someone in an elegant outfit.
