Ristorante 13 Gobbi In Torrita di siena

Ein sehr authentisches Restaurant mit einem hart aber herzlichen Gastwirt, der ganz offensichtlich das Herz am rechten Fleck hat. Das Essen war sehr gut. Es war ein schöner Besuch in diesem Restaurant mit einer Erinnerung die sicherlich bleibend sein wird.

This restaurant came highly recommended so it might have been that our expectations were too high. We were warned that Albo the owner is a “character” and that is definitely true. Hard to say how much of the grumpiness is for show versus reality. Definitely did not appreciate our arriving without a reservation despite an empty restaurant that only grew to half full. The house special pici pasta in the pecorino wheel was very good. I wasn’t able to eat the filet of beef as it was too undercooked…despite my asking for it medium -well for which Albo gave me a hard time. Their house limoncello was a blend of fruity flavors that were delicious. I didnt love the hard sell of logod napkins departure. I would visit again if I was in the area but wouldn’t go out of my way for it.
