I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Siena

16/09/2025: Not much to say about it except one word Fantastic.

11/09/2025: The owner exudes pride, and rightly so, as she recounts the distant origins of her restaurant: wonderful. The food is excellent, as is the service.

07/11/2025: Loved our dinner here. We tried several items on the menu and each one was delicious. Great service and kind staff. They gave us some delicious recommendations and we were not disappointed. The restaurant inside seating is comfortable and not cramped. Give it a try!

27/10/2025: The food was tasteless and poorly presented. I've never had such bad lasagna. Also, the white bread was uneatable—hard and tasteless. The pizza was about 4 centimeters thick—presumably meant to be American in pizza-loving Italy. You can get good food elsewhere.

11/10/2025: The ability to source the finest ingredients and treat them just right to make them simply exceptional is, I'd say, the calling card of this splendid restaurant. Michele: keep it up!

10/10/2025: Kindness, courtesy, and professionalism, topped off with truly excellent dishes. Definitely worth a visit. Excellent!

19/10/2025: Reservations are required as the kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m.

14/10/2025: As soon as l entered I knew I made the perfect choice! Among a mix of locals and tourists, I was greeted warmly by Luca & Massimo, seated immediately, and presented with a glass of sparkling wine as l looked at the menu. The wild boar stew (expertly paired with a glass of wine chosen by Luca) was DELICIOUS!! I was too full for dessert but the table next to me was thoroughly enjoying every dessert available. The space is beautiful as well, with interesting history, like much of San Gimignano. Highly recommend a visit, and I can't wait to return! Buon appetito!

02/10/2025: Definitely worth the effort for a delicious meal. It's tucked away in the back of the village, a bit hidden. But it's worth the search, it's absolutely delicious.

21/09/2025: Simply superb. We've been there several times and tried almost everything, even the pizzas. Everything was delicious. The little things are homemade by hand, and you can taste it.

10/11/2025: We visited Ristorante Carla e Franca during an evening in Siena and were thrilled! The restaurant is elegant but not pretentious, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at ease. The cuisine is simply excellent: carefully prepared dishes, high-quality ingredients, and flavors that enhance Tuscan tradition with a modern twist. Each course arrived perfectly on time and beautifully presented. The Pici with wild boar ragù is a must-try. 10* The staff is friendly, professional, and always available, ready to offer advice with a smile.

10/11/2025: We went to Pizzeria Carla e Franca and had a fantastic time! 🍕🥩🍷 We ordered a house pizza, which was truly delicious—light dough, fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced flavors. Then came an exceptional slice of beef: cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, truly perfect. To finish, we ordered two desserts, accompanied by a bottle of wine and, to our surprise, complimentary coffee and grappa—a gesture we were very pleased with and a testament to the attentiveness and kindness of the staff. Attentive service, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent value: a place where you eat well and feel even better. Congratulations to all the staff, we'll definitely be back! 👏🍽️

02/11/2025: Small, very touristy restaurant, good quality food at reasonable prices, very professional, efficient, and attentive manager. It's best to arrive right when they open to get a table! No reservations at lunchtime...

28/10/2025: Highly recommended.. super service, excellent food.

20/10/2025: Very good. The food was very flavorful. The bread was delicious, and the pork chop was prepared in an interesting way. The owner was very attentive.

12/10/2025: The service was very friendly. The food was otherwise excellent. Large portions.

01/11/2025: An unforgettable tasting experience! We participated in a truly wonderful wine tasting. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, the wines were of excellent quality and perfectly explained in every detail. A special thanks to Vito, who was simply fantastic: knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate, he shared all his knowledge clearly and engagingly, making us appreciate each glass with curiosity and pleasure. An experience I would recommend to anyone who loves wine and wants to experience an authentic and deeply meaningful experience.

01/11/2025: A truly well-maintained reality with an incredible staff, the education and availability absolutely to be highlighted.

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!

15/10/2025: A unique experience in the historic center of Chiusi, where hospitality and flavors intertwine for a wonderful lunch break. Highly recommended 💪 Kudos to Paola, the dining room manager, for her professionalism and friendliness.

15/10/2025: We had lunch today and had two pizzas and then two plates of pici all'aglione, the pizzas were so-so but the pici were great anyway, all good

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.

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. :-(

11/11/2025: Excellent cuisine in an enchanting village, friendly and attentive service, a fine selection of dishes that nod to Tuscan tradition with an interesting fusion twist. We'll definitely return for the garden vegetables, the wines, and the varied menu.

10/11/2025: Lovely place and delicious food! The staff is also truly exceptional. Congratulations for the passion you put into your work and your love for animals. Highly recommended.

29/10/2025: The fastest pizza I've ever ordered, so much so that I initially thought they'd got the wrong table. There were six of us, and it arrived within 5 minutes of ordering. The pizza was truly delicious.

24/10/2025: Friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food. Highly recommended!

25/10/2025: Very friendly staff and an excellent location, in the center of Siena. The restaurant is spread over several semi-underground floors, which aren't well-ventilated. We ordered pici with porcini mushrooms; the pasta was very good, homemade and well-cooked, but the mushrooms tasted like nothing. €14 for a plate of pasta without sauce is a bit too much. For our main course, we ordered a tagliata, which was good but a bit tough. Finally, we ordered an apple pie, which fully met our expectations: simple but very good. Overall, definitely too expensive for what we ate.

23/10/2025: The pasta (Pici) was delicious, try the Cacio e Pepe recipe: to die for!
