This is a sweet little spot with a lovely view and clever set up on a steep hill. The service was impeccable, and food was very fresh and prepared with local ingredients. Great wine list and servers gave excellent pairing recommendations. Highly recommend!

I chose this restaurant in Siena for tonight based on the many positive reviews, which now leaves me seriously questioning them after our experience. The starters were fine, but the pasta dishes were a complete disaster. Both were simply inedible. My pasta was overcooked and literally swimming in olive oil, easily more than ten spoonfuls, making the dish greasy, heavy, and impossible to finish. For a tomato and seafood pasta, it made no sense at all. The other pasta dish was also overcooked, but in this case dry and tasteless, as if it had been reheated several times. A huge disappointment, especially given the high ratings we saw before booking.

Our first day in Siena and we passed this restaurant walking in the area. We decided to go back later and try and it was well worth it! We were looking for something more than pasta and the grilled steak strips and roasted pork were both excellent!! The entire meal including the attentive service was excellent and one of the best meals of our trip. Highly recommend and suggest a reservation if you want one of the limited outdoor tables with a magnificent view of the Siena Duomo!

The waiter was quite a freindly and nice guy. He kept the best outside seat for us. We could enjoy a nice view of Duomo from the seat. We ordered seafood pasta, risotto and Chiken. Every plates were excellent. It became a memorable night in Siena.We will visit here again!

The food was nice, but what surprised us was the service from a napolitan waiter! He helped us with finding the right table and then serving us with good humour! Thanks!

We had an outdoor table and looked down the alley towards a neighborhood street party on the evening of our visit. Lots of fun people watching and the food/wine was excellent.

Excellent food and brilliant service. So glad we booked! We had a table outside with the most anazing view of the Duomo. Wine, food all great. In fact, I think the melanzane parmigiana may be the best I’ve ever had!
