I migliori ristoranti in Siena

11/06/2025: The only thing special is the name. Table booked two weeks in advance. Damp location, with an annoying smell of mold. Poor service, the waiter was either in a hurry to finish the day or didn't know what to do since there were only two tables in the place. The setting needs to be reviewed. Bread with sourdough? Let's talk about it, because I make it and it doesn't taste like that at all! Sicilian oil not at all of quality. Cod au gratin with bitter fried leeks, spaghetti too al dente and overcooked rice. Marinated calamari nothing special, vegetable pie in my opinion at least midday. Cover a steal, €7! Desserts so-so. €156 for two, a steal. Really disappointing.

18/05/2025: I thought a lot about whether or not to write this review because it's not in my person, especially if they're negative, so when I do it it's because I don't want other people to have to spend a significant amount of money for nothing (I've been working in this sector, as an employee to be clear, for years and I'm sorry to penalize a place, so I'll draw up a list of what I found didn't work inside the restaurant). LOCATION AND TABLE: As beautiful as it may be, the evening did not go at all according to expectations. Let's start from the assumption that for €7 for the cover charge (also due to the location but not that much: we are in San Francesco, not in Piazza del Campo) I expect a larger entree as well as at least a decent mise en place: I'm not saying I expected crystal but the water glasses were totally out of place with the room and the glasses were of very dubious quality (you could even see the mold on the bottom). The room was quiet but most likely because we were the only ones there besides a table of tourists sitting in the room at the entrance. SERVICE: the service wasn't terrible, however we were asked twice if we wanted to order, even though we had already ordered and ABOVE ALL, which I don't understand since I work in the restaurant business myself, the waiter was clearly coming to the table often to see if I had finished eating, but not in the way you would expect him to do (from afar), he almost came to my arms to see if I had finished. In addition to this, a speed that was only noticeable at the end of the evening because, after having waited half an hour for the first courses (probably because they had made a mistake in bringing them out since mine was overcooked while the others' were too al dente), the service started to push us to finish dinner almost as if they wanted to throw us out (and I mean, we left there at 11pm, not even that late). FOOD: the sore point of this place, besides the price, is definitely the food: bland, without any flavor, plated like in any tavern and above all inside the food there were ingredients that were not listed on the menu: for example in the fish risotto, leaving aside the non-existence of fish, it was a green color, probably due to the presence of vegetables, but that in any case were not listed on the menu together with the asterisks for allergens. And it's a shame because the fish, the little that was eaten, was certainly of quality, but not valued. For example: the tuna, costing 24 euros, in addition to a paltry quantity (4 slices seared in a pan) was accompanied by a caponata that, although the best food of the evening, totally overpowered the flavor of the fish. For desserts even worse: a tiramisu that, even just calling it that, is too good. It was a dome-shaped dessert, on top of a biscuit, without ladyfingers or similar and with simple mascarpone and cocoa (I will attach photos and I hope they don't do it but that they buy the desserts). Even the coffee, although a nice display with the sugar cube, tasted of water. PRICE: the most important argument, over 100 euros per person (without considering the wine) for a quick dinner, an unsuitable service and totally tasteless food. I would not recommend it and I hope that from this review the owners can understand that to have a "gurmet" restaurant and that is part (I don't know how) of the Michelin guide (even a recent one) requires a study and a completely different stuff.
