L'Orto & un Quarto In Siena

Refined dishes, never banal, artfully created by those who are always in search of good taste. For us an essential point of reference!

welcoming place, very good dishes

Delightful setting, surprising food, attentive and courteous service. Good value for money. I didn't take the osso bucco, which had been recommended to me as the best dish in the restaurant and when I saw it brought to the next table I knew I had to come back just for that. Compliments.

Nice restaurant in the province of Siena. Good flavors with countryside views. If you manage to visit it!

Whoever leaves a bad review for this restaurant must just be a sad person. Everything here was excellent across the board. A must hit place

A creative and interesting cuisine also perfect for vegetarians or vegans despite being in Tuscany. The place and the venue are really beautiful. The owner is very kind and knowledgeable! Only note for me: it would be perfect to increase the portions because the food is really pleasant, delicious and beautiful to look at!

Truly special dishes, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, all at an affordable price

Already done. Nothing to add to what is written

This restaurant is incredible! Most of their dishes feature unexpected flavor combinations and are expertly prepared, all using fresh, high-quality ingredients. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and they aren’t just an afterthought—they’re clearly the stars of the menu. What I love is that they don’t try to make the vegan and vegetarian dishes mimic meat or replace meat. Instead, they showcase the ingredients’ full potential, celebrating their unique flavors. Honestly, the hardest part was deciding what to order because everything sounded so delicious. The staff explains each dish in detail, and it truly feels like they’re describing a work of art. I decided to try the “Millefoglie of roasted watermelon with spicy tofu mousse,” which was so different from anything I’d had before—and it was an excellent choice! The texture and flavor of the watermelon were incredible. You could recognize it as watermelon from the aftertaste, but it was marinated and roasted into something much more complex. The tofu sauce was equally delicious and paired perfectly with the meaty texture of the watermelon. The tagliolini alla barbabietola was also fantastic, cooked perfectly al dente despite being fresh pasta, and the flavor was spot on. The “Variation of eggplants” was another highlight and something I won’t forget! Eggplants are usually tasty, but they’re not always cooked right in restaurants. Sometimes they turn out watery or chewy, but these were perfect. Not only was the texture spot on, but the fillings and sauces were absolutely delicious. Honestly, I could’ve eaten five portions. I’m not much of a dessert person, but I did try their reconstructed peach dessert, which was as beautiful as it was delicious. All in all, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s only 10 minutes from Siena, so there’s no excuse not to visit. My advice? Step outside your comfort zone and try something you wouldn’t normally order. You won’t be disappointed by the unexpected flavors. Highly recommended!

An outstanding find! Everything is locally sourced and prepared Tuscan style with pure elegance. Plenty of vegetarian options too, which can often be difficult to find or restrictive in this region. The garden outside grows all the herbs and greens/veggies used in the cookery, and you can sit and relax outside in the olive grove sipping on an aperitif as the sun goes down. Heavenly! Inside is charming and suits the cosy but elegant presentation of the food. The waiters were fantastic - informative and respectful. It’s certainly a place to remember! Magnifico.
