I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea

26/09/2025: Well done, because making your guests feel at ease is a great thing. The dishes were excellent!

21/09/2025: Very good service, lots of knowledge with cœliac problem. Your can eat without stress and the food is good. I loved the gluten free Tiramisu as well. Wonderful owner! Florie

12/09/2025: Really good and cheap pizza alla romana!

10/09/2025: Very good pizza, thin crust crispy all the way through, lots of pizza variety, menu in 5 languages, very fast and efficient service.

17/09/2025: A truly meticulously crafted, welcoming, and intimate place. Attentive and friendly staff. Perfect service. Dishes were truly elegantly served. It's a shame the food was completely lacking in flavor. The pesto pasta was bland, and you couldn't taste the basil. The sea bass was rubbery and also tasted bland. Maybe we chose poorly, maybe it wasn't the right evening...what's certain is that we were disappointed.

16/09/2025: We came to rekindle our excellent memories from a few years ago and we rediscovered all the charm and quality of this restaurant.

10/10/2025: I tried the lunch menu, with a choice of two first courses and three second courses, and it wasn't bad. Excellent service. I'd been there a while ago for dinner, and I can confirm the excellent value.

08/10/2025: Dinner with family Excellent restaurant, everything perfect

18/10/2025: A wonderful restaurant with attention to detail and great dishes. Highly recommended!

13/10/2025: Excellent cuisine! I recommend the Michelin star!

04/10/2025: We booked a table for 19:30 tonight many days ago, now the place was overbooked. We received an email about this under 30 mins before the booking. Unacceptable from the restaurant and booking site.

02/10/2025: Such an amazing family restaurant, food was delicious, service was great. We felt like we were eating a home cooked meal in grandma’s kitchen. Highly recommend

05/10/2025: It's very good, the seafood is delicious.

05/10/2025: Wonderful and excellent food!!!!

16/09/2025: What was supposed to be a romantic evening with my husband on our first night in Siena during our honeymoon turned out to be a major disappointment at Vivace Ristorante. We had made a reservation for 7:30, specifically hoping for a table on the terrace with a beautiful view overlooking Siena. Instead, we were seated at a less-than-ideal table, and the staff made no effort to offer a warm welcome. From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt uninviting. The service was extremely slow. It took over an hour and a half for our food to arrive, and when it finally did, the dishes were mediocre at best. Honestly, my grandmother’s recipes back home are far better. To make matters worse, the head waiter was shockingly rude—not only to us but also to his own staff. Having worked in food service for over 10 years, I could clearly see how poorly he treated the servers, and it was uncomfortable to watch. The only kindness we received that evening was from the younger staff, who tried to make up for his behavior. One moment that really stood out was when my husband tried asking a simple question about the area. Mid-sentence, the head waiter interrupted him, walked away, and never returned to finish the conversation. It was dismissive and incredibly disrespectful. On top of everything, one of the first things we ordered was bottled water. It never came, yet we were still charged for it. When we tried to get the head waiter’s attention to address it, he blatantly ignored us, making us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued guests. If you are American—or really any tourist—avoid this place. It feels like a tourist trap with overpriced, average food and unfriendly service. Siena has many wonderful restaurants with genuine hospitality—unfortunately, Vivace is not one of them. :-(

16/09/2025: The service here is terrible. We booked a reservation and were given the worst located table at the restaurant. The wait staff treated us as a chore and were very unorganized. We consistently saw food that the staff did not know where to run it to. The food was mediocre and took about 1.5 hours to serve a pasta dish. If you are American avoid this place, they simply do not care.

30/09/2025: A gem in Italy! Incredibly delicious dishes, wine to die for, attentive service. The menu is in French and offers genuine gluten-free options! An absolute must-try; I'll definitely be back! Thanks again!

30/09/2025: High end prices but the food was a huge disappointment. Both pasta and meat were under seasoned, bland yet very heavy from butter or oil. Poor cooking for an 80 euro per person meal. Girl server was nice but the man server was not very friendly. Steak was dull and bland soft yet dry and needing seasoning. We cannot recommend. Mediocre service never ask about the food and provide only a tiny amount if olive oil hardly enough to enjoy. Uncomfortable dinner for lack of air circulation since the did not activate the ac it was stuffy and hot.

25/10/2025: We had dinner at La Pioda and returned for an aperitif. The food was excellent, the service was precise and punctual, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I absolutely recommend it.

24/10/2025: Classy restaurant, excellent dishes, friendly staff, a unique and welcoming atmosphere, carefully prepared dishes, tastes for refined palates, a wide choice of wines, an experience you absolutely must try

18/10/2025: I chose the restaurant both because it has a Satispay agreement (so I can use company meal vouchers) and because of the good reviews I'd read online. We ordered an appetizer and two main courses: a duck and a fillet of meagre with samphire and potatoes (€28 for the fillet with samphire alone). After a few minutes, what I believe to be the owner returns to the table to inform us that the duck is unavailable—a shortcoming that, given the restaurant's "standards," should have been disclosed when ordering. The wait for our dishes is quite long: at least 30 minutes. When they finally arrive, we discover that one of them is incomplete. We're told, "Our apologies, but the samphire is out"—so one of the dish's three main ingredients is simply removed, without any warning or alternative offer. To my surprised reaction, the owner responds with a rather unfortunate question: "Do you even know what samphire is?" —I still wonder what that sentence meant. Result: a €28 dish reduced to a fillet of sea bass with three slices of potatoes. The icing on the cake: when I got the bill, I tried to pay with Satispay, but the owner said, "Well, I don't know if it works, I never use it." Spoiler: Satispay didn't work—or rather, it did work, but the owner wouldn't click "accept," despite me pointing it out several times. In the end: 1. I paid out of pocket. 2. I spent €122.50 for an appetizer, two main courses, a dessert, two glasses of wine (plus two dessert wines), and a coffee. 3. I received rude and inattentive service. 4. No discount or gesture of courtesy, despite the obvious shortcomings. 5. I look at the receipt and realize we paid €6 for a coffee (not even in St. Mark's Square in Venice) and donated 50 cents to an organization unknown to us, without asking us in advance (usually the 50 cents donated are deducted from the profit, not added to the customer's account without a request). The only positive note: the quality of the ingredients and the kindness of the rest of the staff (especially the lady in the dining room, who was truly courteous!). Unfortunately, given this situation, a customer can only leave feeling dissatisfied.

17/10/2025: A wonderful dinner in Lucca's historic center. The best restaurant in the city center... excellent food and impeccable service. The owner was able to accommodate every request! If you haven't stopped by for lunch or dinner, you haven't been to Lucca!

28/09/2025: Simona, waitress of the century!

28/09/2025: Simona is a very smart girl who will go a long way in her life!!! Excellent food, excellent place, highly recommended

14/10/2025: I would highly recommend this restaurant. Best I’ve been to whilst here. Very cute, family owned restaurant, food was delicious, service was amazing. Free limoncello shots the topped it off. The price was also so reasonable for the quality of food and generous portions. I will be back. 10/10 could not speak higher off this place and the staff

13/10/2025: Great restaurant for fresh seafood options. Service was very good and sunset view was wonderful.

06/09/2025: We were there two nights in a row, everything was exceptional, from the appetizers to the desserts. Definitely worth a try.

01/09/2025: A traditional trattoria with delicious, artisanal dishes, everything is expertly homemade by Mara, the owner. The service is fantastic and welcoming; we had a wonderful evening. Truly unbeatable!

13/10/2025: Excellent experience, interesting menu options, I'm happy with the pizza I ordered (which was also easy to digest) and the quiet atmosphere, very fast service, and fair prices. I'll be back!

06/10/2025: Zuccona. One of the best pizzas I've had in 2025. Truly, congratulations. We'll definitely be back.
