Ristorante San Desiderio In Siena

The menu is a perfect combination of tradition and creativity. Every dish we tasted was prepared with the freshest ingredients and presented with care. A special round of applause goes to the mezze maniche with white ragù of Cinta Senese, simply sublime. The wine list is also well-stocked and the staff was able to recommend the perfect pairing. The service was impeccable: friendly, attentive but never intrusive. You can feel a true passion for hospitality and good food. Highly recommended for a romantic dinner, a special occasion or simply for those who want to indulge in a moment of true gastronomic pleasure. We will definitely be back!

On the recommendation of our host Lorenzo from Palazzo di Valli, we ended up at San Desiderio - not a hidden secret address, but a very good recommendation for a stylish dinner in Siena. We were the first guests at 7 p.m., which surprised us a bit - it was probably due to the rain, because the restaurant definitely deserved to be busier. The San Desiderio is located in a quiet side street, just a few steps from the cathedral and the Piazza del Campo - central, but pleasantly away from the hustle and bustle. Housed in a former Romanesque church, the restaurant offers a special ambience with old brick walls, an impressive wooden beam ceiling and modern details such as large-format horse photographs on canvas. The cuisine combines Tuscan tradition with modern accents. The asparagus risotto was very fine in terms of color and taste, although a bit creamy for our taste. The fried eggs with truffles – simple to prepare but excellent in taste. The beef cheeks were a real highlight: tender as butter, served on creamy mashed potatoes. The sea bass with caramelized fennel and burrata cream was also harmonious and beautifully presented. The whole thing is complemented by an extremely friendly, attentive and multilingual service, which rounded off the visit very pleasantly. An all-round successful evening in a restaurant that wonderfully combines atmosphere, quality and hospitality. We would come back at any time.

Fantastic! Kind, thoughtful, attentive to the customer. Surprisingly, not to be taken for granted nowadays, our little girl didn't pay. Plate of tomato penne not charged to the bill🥹🥹🥹 This contributes to a more than positive memory for this culinary experience💖

Atención buena , buen ambiente. Comida rica, pero los tres platos nos llegaron fríos y tuvimos que devolverlos. Volvería por la calidad de comida y por el lugar

Elegant environment without exaggerating, a stone's throw from the Baptistery in a secondary street. Friendly waiters with attentive and attentive service, high quality food with refined dishes well executed with excellent raw materials. Excellent value for money.

A great place, excellent food and very pleasant staff! We loved it!

Ragu pasta was cooked perfectly. Octopus was so soft but chewy. Salad was fresh. Service was even better! I got nothing but the praise!!

Very good. We arrived right on time, so you can't be late. The service was very pleasant without being overwhelming. The food was delicious, with very local flavors, everything well presented and of excellent size and quality. The price was also very reasonable.

Fast service and very welcoming and friendly staff. Both the first and second courses were very good, all typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine. Honest prices.

Excelente restaurante localizado no centro de Siena. Vale muito a pena, apesar de um pouco caro. Também há uma boa carta de vinhos. Recomendo a visita.
