The food was subpar and the service was horrible. This place is not for tourists. It's a nice place…read morein a great location, but they don't appreciate tourists. There was an obvious favoritism shown to the locals as there was only one couple in the restaurant when we came in and every other table that came in after us was served, ate, drank espressos, and left BEFORE we ever had our food.

We didn't really think we were gonna have such a wonderful meal at this modest, homey, family run…read morerestaurant. What started out as a late lunch while discovering the hillside town of Peccioli. We had ducked in to pick a few pastries from the shining cold-case, and saw that there we tables open, so we said..."Wanna...?" We were so impressed with the food, the savory waffle, the steak tartar, the cheesecake and pastries. The atmosphere and loving family service made us feel like we were locals who had stopped into our regular place. We finished with a rich cup of coffee and Ferretti's famous Biscotti. Those biscotti are sooooo delicious that we had to buy a couple of containers of them for the road.... they traveled with us throughout Italy and we hoarded them for morning coffee each day. Our waiters were the sons of the owners, and they were so charming. They shared with us some of their own travels, especially in the U.S. (our home). Our advice; roam the farmers' market in the town square and, right there, stop into Pasticceria Ferretti. They even have a nice sidewalk seating area in that pedestrian only area. P.S. The town has a great parking garage with a famous modern-art foot bridge.... memorable, photogenic!

We went May 1st, first of all, the restaurant truly carries that Tuscan brick-stone tavern, charm…read more The staff was accommodating, knowledgeable about wine selection, the food was absolutely delicious, walking down to the cellar definitely had an awe factor. The staff cut us up a platter of their cheese in the cellar. Tiramisu for desert topped the 5 star experience. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: You need reservations that can only be made by calling them, no online reservations capabilities. You should call 5 days in advance. Worth it. Our bill came out to less than $250 + Tip for 2 bottles of wine, 6 main entrees, 2 appetizers, 3 Tiramisu, and cheese platter - NOT BAD if you ask me. Because we gave them a nice tip - they gave us a bottle of wine as a thank you gift.

Taverna di San Giuseppe was a disappointing meal for us, especially in a city with so many great…read moredining options. We ended up here by mistake (confused it with another spot), and unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. The restaurant fills up with reservations for two seatings, and from the moment we sat down the pace felt rushed. We ordered drinks and a starter while deciding on the rest, but multiple staff members kept coming by trying to take our full order. It felt like they were pushing to move things along quickly. There were a couple positives. The chicken livers to start were quite tasty and something we didn't see often on other menus. The primi were underwhelming. The pasta didn't taste fresh like many other trattorias in Siena, and the dishes overall were just average. The lasagna in particular was mushy, and the sauces didn't stand out. The secondi were slightly better -- pork ribs, Barolo-braised beef, and a "small chicken" -- but still nothing that justified the higher prices. They do have an underground wine cellar built into a cave, which is interesting to see, but there are other places in Siena with much larger and more impressive cellar spaces. Also worth noting, they add a "10% tax" charge rather than the typical €2 coperto per person. Overall, a rushed and fairly mediocre meal at a higher price point. With so many better places to eat in Siena, this is one I'd skip.

We arrived here on our first night staying at a villa across the way (which you could see from the…read morerestaurant, so that was pretty cool). Given several meals in both Florence and Rome, this was actually the best meal we had in the area. At 20:00, the place was empty. It filled up a little bit by the time we left but surprisingly was not crowded. I noticed a lot of tables getting the charcuterie appetizer, which looked awesome but we did not partake. There were four of us and we started with their house wine. It was very good for just a few Euros. We got four primi and two secondi. We probably could have done with just three primi as the portions were very large. We shared everything. The four pastas we got were the wild boar, gnocchi, beef ragu and ravioli. All four were outstanding. My personal favorite was the gnocchi. It was seasonal but had so much fresh spring flavor! The gnocchi themselves were fluffy little pillows of awesome. The pasta for the wild boar we all agreed was slightly underdone but otherwise a perfect dish. The ravioli were cooked perfectly and the ragu was amazing. Overall, the dishes looked fairly simple but packed a ton of flavor. We also got the pork and Angus steak upon our server's recommendation. The Angus was cooked medium rare and sliced thinly. We really enjoyed it. But strangely all of us preferred the pork dish which came with Francesca apples. Somehow these sauteed apples were like mind blowing. They had little polenta cakes that were super tasty as well. Most of the staff doesn't know English so just be prepared.
