L'Orto & un Quarto In Siena

I went to this restaurant for a business dinner with some vegetarians. I had a mixed menu, a vegetarian appetizer, octopus, and a vegetarian dessert. I found everything exceptional, especially the appetizer and dessert. I must admit, I wouldn't have expected such a delicious vegan dessert. The service was excellent, and the evening was very enjoyable. I'd recommend it. Five stars, because in Siena, restaurants offering a different kind of cuisine, with very good dishes, and perhaps even vegetarian options, aren't often found. The prices are typical of a restaurant. It's not like you'd expect them to be a trattoria.

A charming location, perfect for enjoying an aperitif among the olive trees. The place is well-kept, clean, and tidy. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and are the first to taste their dishes, able to explain their composition and offer pairings if you're unsure. The wine selection is good, and the staff is equally knowledgeable about their presentation. A pleasant discovery. We'll definitely return.

The quality of the dishes is truly high: the zucchini potpourri with tzatziki sauce was fresh and delicate, and the ravioli with tomato, burrata, and anchovies were surprising in their balance and intensity of flavor. The dark chocolate and passion fruit mousse was the perfect finish. However, I should point out that the portions are a bit small. This, in addition to the undeniable quality of the ingredients, was compensated by the service: the waiter was very kind, approachable, and helpful, helping to make the experience even more enjoyable.

A beautiful place with a peaceful and charming location immersed in the Siena countryside. What we appreciated most, as vegetarians, was definitely the wide selection available for those who don't eat meat or animal products. The dishes available are original, well thought out, and truly delicious.

Everything was wonderful: the location, the incredibly friendly team, and the vegan food was a taste explosion. I'll definitely be back! Bravo, worthy of applause.

Cozy atmosphere, creative food, excellent quality, very friendly service. Between meals, you can take a stroll in the beautiful garden with a typical Tuscan view. Reasonable prices.

A truly positive experience. We came for dinner a few days ago. The setting is magnificent, located just outside the city center, surrounded by greenery, with the option of dining inside or out. The service was attentive and professional; we greatly appreciated the explanations of the various dishes and their very unique welcome aperitif. They offer a cuisine that can please everyone: vegan, vegetarian, fish, and meat dishes, all locally sourced, according to what we were told. Refined dishes, with excellent attention to pairings and choice of ingredients, perhaps the best experience we've had so far. Each course was a discovery, a surprising explosion of flavors. The portions truly surprised us; they were neither too small nor too abundant, just the right amount. We left feeling satisfied. We had a cuttlefish carpaccio, which was truly delicious, but even more delicious was the fake marrow, a vegan appetizer, a real discovery and perhaps our favorite. We continued with two main courses: beef with apricot puree and octopus with Viola potato cream, both wonderful, truly well cooked, melt-in-the-mouth, and the combinations were truly appreciative. How could we not order all the desserts on the menu? They were truly huge, and we loved this one. I personally loved the cheesecake, where you could really taste the biscuit and especially the cream, where the yogurt was the main ingredient. Then there was the deconstructed tiramisu, accompanied by a decaf and rum. The presentation in the perfume bottle was lovely. Lastly, our favorite, the one with carob flour, won us over. Highly recommended, our compliments.

Nice place, great service, small portions....

What can I say? Always top-notch! This time, we were pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian dishes, truly tasty and unique! Always a pleasure!

Beautiful atmosphere just a stone's throw from the city! Refined and truly good food, great attention to detail and various diets (all very gluten free and vegan friendly).
