I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Siena

29/07/2024: Outstanding! We spent a few weeks in Tuscany, seeking out the best restaurants we could find. We ended our trip with a week in Castellina in Chanti and came across Osteria Volpaia a short drive away. Despite having visited a handful of Michelin restaurants during our stay, this stood out, by far, as the best resturant we came across. We booked to visit on the Tuesday evening, hoping to try the tasting menu, not realising that this menu would need to be booked in advance. We were initially apprehensive to book the same restaurant for a second night to try the tasting menu, but after only a mouthful of the Duck Ragu, I was convinced that it would be worth it. By the time we got to the Pistachio Gelato (worth a visit all by itself) we were discussing cancelling other reservations later in the week so we could be sure to be able to return. We returned on the Friday evening, our last evening in Tuscany, to be greeted like old friends. I understand that the menu varies depending on the season, and the ingredients available at the time, as everything is sourced from their own kitchen garden and local meat providers. We received an 8 course menu, which was truely outstanding. There are some dishes that I would normally not order on a menu, as I am generally not a fan of fish or pork, however there are certain chefs with whom you know you are in safe hands and I would not have missed any part of this menu. Every part was perfect, and with every bite it was obvious that Filippo is not only incredibly skilled, but also passionate about making beautiful food. Martina and Asif were incredible hosts, and despite each course seemingly being ready as soon as we were ready for it, we ended up spending almost 5 hours at the restaurant, chatting with them about food, learning about the ways in which it was prepared, discussing the beautiful wines, and hearing about life in Volpaia. I could not speak more highly of the entire experience. We certainly hope to be able to return soon.

28/07/2024: Siamo andati in otto amici per pranzo e siamo rimasti tutti estasiati da questo ristorante. Da dove cominciare? Il menù è molto interessante, con piatti della tradizione locale, ma anche piatti con verdure dal loro orto cucinate con grande maestria. Abbiamo apprezzato la fiorentina grigliata in modo perfetto, ma anche l’eccellente risotto con zucchine e burro di arachidi (lo raccomandiamo), gli antipasti con lingua o roast beef, la vellutata di finocchio con porro fritto e ravanello fermentato (sublime) e la meravigliosa insalato al forno con carota in agro, demi-glacé di verdure e miso di ceci. E i dolci? Divini, provare la panna cotta di zucca ed il gelato artigianale. Lo staff è molto cordiale e ci ha trattato benissimo. Ma non possiamo dimenticare il vino! Top, top, top! Il Chianti naturalmente, ma anche lo spumante e il loro vermentino, prezzo più che abbordabili. Dobbiamo dire che in una giornata molto calda è stato estremante piacevole poter scegliere anche piatti con verdure, con il lusso che provengono direttamente dall’orto! Da provare assolutamente!!! Rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente.

16/08/2024: Bel locale con ampio pergolato con visuale su Bagno Vignoni. Buoni i prodotti che accompagnano l’aperitivo,freschi e locali che raccontano il territorio. Staff gentile e professionale

13/08/2024: Very nice everything,value for money,stuff excellent,clean place!! Tasty food and deserts,keep on the good job!!!!

08/08/2024: Amis touristes s'il vous plaît, ne mettez jamais un pied dans ce restaurant. Pour votre santé corporel et financière. Ceci est un vrai conseil!

29/07/2024: Sono stata diverse volte anni fa e sono sempre stata bene, quindi ero sicura che era il posto giusto da invitare ospiti a pranzo. Magari siamo stati sfortunati ma abbiamo aspettato tanto solo per ordinare, tantino prima che è arrivato l’antipasto, ed infine più di un ora per il primo perché avevano perso l’ordine in cucina…. Abbiamo mangiato discretamente, ma per i prezzi e mancante servizio purtroppo non siamo rimasti entusiasti…

05/08/2024: Let's start with the positive points: the place. Marvellous view. Postcard terrace on the lake. The service is of a good standard, very friendly staff. It must be said that explaining, or introducing the dishes, could be useful. We ate freshly caught fish... ok but what fish? It's a shame because we could have done better with little. Good quality cuisine although we found some flakes in the fish...not exactly a good experience. Other than that we ate well in a magnificent place

04/07/2024: You pay for the view. Expensive food but very small plates and not very good. Especially the meat was very bad. I would not recommend.

06/08/2024: Tolles authentisches Restaurant mit toskanischer Küche. Sind am Anreisetag abends direkt hin, Tisch war kein Problem. Nettes Personal, viele Tische draußen. Es gibt regionale Küche, diverse Pizzen und Pasta. Sehr lecker und authentisch gekocht. Wollen heute Abend wieder hin , um die Pizzen zu probieren.

01/08/2024: Sono stato con la mia compagna a mangiare una ottima pizza, ma la delusione la cameriera (se non hai l'età non farlo) molto scortese e arrogante, voleva decidere lei cosa mangiare.

03/08/2024: They have a GREAT gluten free selection. The pizza was so filling and the view was stunning. It is a bit of a hike but it’s worth it!

02/08/2024: Pretty mediocre pizzas. Terrible treatment by one of the waiters.

13/05/2024: I'm sorry, because the location is very beautiful, given the terrace overlooking the Tuscan hills. The staff is friendly and you can see that they put in the effort, but the quality of the service doesn't even remotely justify the exorbitant prices (just to name one €3.5 cover charge, when there wasn't even a tablecloth)

07/05/2024: Elegante, accogliente, gustoso. Una location bellissima (la valle del Chianti incorniciata dalle viti) per un pranzo in famiglia (con neonato), sapori della tradizione rivisti in chiave gourmet. Personale professionale e attento. Da rifare al più presto!

23/07/2024: If you want to enjoy world class Pici with Ragu al Brunello - you should go here. A quite simple dish yet extraordinary in it's taste, the pure core of delicious Tuscan food. Absolute recommendation, don't let yourself fool by the looks.

30/06/2024: We stopped for a quick lunch, with little appetite due to the heat. The place attracted us for its "old-time" feel, but it really is, it feels like taking a trip back in time, it has remained as it was 40 years ago, even with the TV broadcasting "The Lady in Murder". Service a little slow, our order was taken after that of other guests who arrived after us. The place needs a makeover, the mold on the walls in the room is terrible to look at. Even the management in the kitchen is very homemade, without professional clothing and setup....

04/08/2024: Unique experience delicious food too bad I have to leave you are wonderful here I'll be back ❤️❤️❤️❤️

27/07/2024: Poco fuori dal centro del paese, stranamente quella sera aveva pochi avventori. Io sono stato molto contento di esserci andato: il locale è piacevolmente arredato e pulito, il servizio cortese e impeccabile, i prezzi sono corretti, abbiamo mangiato bene (un primo e secondo).

05/05/2024: Gin and tonic to forget. Then in paper cups that come apart, even worse. Maybe he got a little lost in the crowd...

28/04/2024: Not bad food but the sandwich needs to be made better. For the rest ok

06/03/2024: This restaurant is no more than a handful of tables located outdoors in a tiny piazza off Via Dei Montanini, a stone's trow from the Piazza de Campo. At first glance, it looked charming enough. But looks can be deceiving. We didn't make dinner reservations for the evening of our arrival in Siena - a busy Saturday in September. Everywhere we called was fully booked. Except this restaurant. That in itself should have been big red flag. The weather was unseasonably warm, so an outdoor terrace seems like a great idea. In fact the ambiance is quite charming. But the food... oh my! The menu is very simple and contains Tuscan classics. It was presented to us on a grimy sheet of paper. No more than a handful of dishes. And rather overpriced as others have noted. We had the Bruchetta, Tagliatelle alla cinghiale, and veal piccatta. The food was horrible. So was the service. And the bill was as bad as the rest. Disappointing.

25/08/2024: Location splendida, da vedere assolutamente. Piatti con materie prime ottime, non prende pieni voti solo per delle piccolissime disattenzioni nel servizio, che non hanno assolutamente complicato la splendida serata

13/07/2024: Ottimo posto, ci ha riconciliato con il mondo!! Personale gentilissimo, un responsabile davvero simpatico che ci ha accolto con competenza e professionalità , in una location fantastica. Abbiamo mangiato un primo molto gustoso così come la carne e i contorni buonissimi! Anche se non torneremo nella struttura di cui fa parte, se passeremo da queste parti sicuramente verremo a mangiare qui. Complimenti allo chef e allo staff! Consigliato.
