Prior to our trip, I found a video about this hidden gem behind the bougainvillea hedge in Sienna…read more Gino Cacino di Angelo is a one-man sandwich shop making amazing custom flavor bombs. If you don't know where this is, you'll miss never find them. The cave like feeling is packed with a large crowd, patiently waiting for their sandwiches. The owner is working alone and serving over 10 patrons, he is hustling. There is a menu with traditional combinations but the sky here is the limit. The smell of fresh porketta, marinated sun dried tomatoes, lavandered eggplant and onions heightens the anticipation. I ordered the porketta with mustard cream, honey and added sun dried tomatoes on a perfect crunchy roll. What an incredible combination! This was absolutely delicious and the marrying of powerful sides with impeccable pork is unsurpassed. When I go to Sienna, I don't think about unbelievable custom sandwiches. Now, I do believe and dream of them. Gino Cucino di Angelo is really good with a super hard working owner creating masterpieces. The flavoring of the individual ingredients and placing them together is delicious. If you are in Sienna, dig into the flowering hege and enter a true gem in Sienna cuisine scene.

They're very happy to make up sampler plates of meats and cheeses, too. We loved it, it was a heck a value, too. Also, it's open in the middle of the afternoon, when many fancier (but not better) places are not, which is how we actually wound up here. That, and checking Yelp, which, by coincidence, found only one review for this place, from someone who lives about 30 miles from us at home. Small world. It deserves more. I've now doubled their number of reviews. GO HERE, YOU WONT BE SORRY!

It serves traditional Tuscan food with a modern twist. Diners can pick Al fresco or inside. Service is impecable. The chef will send out some aperitifs to wet your palate. I started off with the GUTTUS CHEESE TORTELLI, ALMONDS, BLACK TRUFFLE, ALCHERMES. It was delicious. The local Tuscan truffles leapt out. The second plate was the catch of the day. I was weary of ordering fish so far from the sea but the choice was rewarded with an excellent choice. I then had the dessert which was to die for. The restaurant has a large selection of wine. Lots of places to eat in Siena, but very few that have the quality of Mugolone. Seek it out and you will be rewarded.

My husband ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and I had the Diavola pizza with onions, mushrooms, and spicy salami. Both were excellent. The spaghetti was flavorful and cooked perfectly, while the pizza had one of the thinnest, crispiest crusts I've had in Italy--exactly the style I love. The toppings were generous and delicious. Just when we thought the meal was over, they brought us complimentary slices of chocolate cake, which were rich, moist, and the perfect ending. The food, service, and little extra touches made this a memorable experience. If you're in Greve in Chianti and looking for delicious pizza or pasta with friendly hospitality, I highly recommend Ristorante Pizzeria La Cantina. We'll definitely be back!

Because it was so convenient, we got to try it three days in a row: a fantastic 3-course dinner on day one, a delicious takeaway pizza on day two, and coffee and desserts on day three.

Sometimes when you're in a touristy area, the Resturant don't really care about the customers--but that is definitely not the case here. The owner is always on the floor, making sure everyone gets personal attention. It's a wonderful family-owned business, and it truly shows because this family genuinely cares. Highly, highly recommend!

The agriturismo called here and asked if they could seat two people to which they responded they were completely booked, so we decided to walk in and see if we could get a table and when we arrived they told us a 25 minute wait which we we're fine with. We ordered the minestrone soup, a salad, a side of the white tuscan beans in olive oil, and the spinach with butter. We also got a 1.2 kilogram Bistecca alla Florentina. I had this steak two separate times in Italy before trying it here and it was good, but here it was just too chewy. I know they cook these rare but the texture of the meat was just a no go. The minestrone soup actually tasted exactly like a can of Progresso soup -- nothing special, but the texture of the ingredients was good and the veggies looked fresh. The spinach and beans were good, but I actually wish I ordered pasta instead of the steak because watching them bring pasta over to the other tables, I could tell it looked good. It's hit or miss with the steak sometimes and I guess I just got unlucky this night.
