Osteria La Sosta di Violante In Siena

Very good food. The ragù was exceptional. The service was excellent, the waiters were friendly and the service was quick. The restaurant feels a bit cramped. The terrace is very pleasant.

Very good food, both the starters, the Florentine steak, and the desserts. The recommended wine was also excellent! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Typical local osteria, the pici with ragù are delicious, and the Florentine steak is the best I've ever had! The owner and staff are incredibly kind. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious meal, very good price given the quality provided. La Sosta de Violante is a 100% hit, even after the 3rd time.

Sienna on a Saturday evening is festive and busy. Reservations recommended. We were lucky as walk-ins. Lovely evening sitting outside with overhead electric heaters. Very efficient and courteous service. English menus available. We shared a Risotto with cheese, black pepper and local sausage to start - wonderful. Our mains were grilled chicken with hot spicy sauce - excellent and Kataifi pasta filled with vegetables - the filling was good although the shell was unappealing. As a side, we enjoyed a vegetable soufflé - lovely. Washed down with a nice Chianti Reserva (€34) from an extensive wine list. Two excellent coffees (espresso and americano) to finish. Our food bill was about €28 each. The rest was water, beer, wine and coffee. A nice, satisfying, relaxing dinner. Thank you.

An excellent restaurant with delicious Italian dishes. I highly recommend it. It's hard to get in, it's always crowded. PS. Because of the crowds, service is incredibly slow...((()

We had a wonderful meal. Fried pecorino cheese with pear mousse: sublime. Cacio e pepe risotto with Cinta Senese sausage: sublime. Dessert: apple, pear, and walnut tart with a fantastic cream: sublime. Very nice place, everyone was very friendly, and the price was reasonable. Highly recommended.

Great food. Great service. Nice place.

We visited on a late April evening, and despite the cold, the place immediately made us feel comfortable, kindly offering blankets to warm us up. We shared a generous mixed platter with many cured meats, cheeses—including a truly exceptional truffle cheese, our favorite—and several delicious hot delicacies. Next, we had a truly excellent first course with Tuscan ragù: the meat was incredibly tender and melted in the mouth. It was all accompanied by two glasses of wine, one red and one rosé. To conclude, a delicious apple and walnut dessert with custard—truly perfect. A great experience in every way, highly recommended!

Restaurant was quite busy just after 1 pm so waited about 25 minutes for a table outside. Food was very good and came quickly. I had the lasagna and loved it. My wife had the fried chicken and it was like chicken tenders but very light batter well seasoned and very tender chicken. We also had the fried artichoke which was very good.
