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.

Tasty but it needs more anchovies. Deduct 1/2 star. - Capricciosa (Tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms, artichokes, olives, cooked ham, spicy salami) €9 -- An "everything" pizza you may find in the USA. Great flavors blend with the rich tomato sauce. Excellent! - Service: Friendly, but we asked for the Bill twice before being told we had to pay at the counter. Deduct 1/2 star. Ambiance: They have "indoor seating" in an enclosed patio and "outdoor seating" with many tables to enjoy the Tuscan sun!

Service was good and quick, I would say typical. Wait staff were pleasant and ready to help. Food - we got both the hot meal and soup which were very good and simple dishes. I got the pesto, the pasta was slightly over done but fresh and the pesto was tasty but a step down from some others I've had, again still good. The soup was a really good Tuscan bean soup that was right on the money. They had a cold cut plate that I would go for next time around which looked great. Pricing - hard to beat, 26 euro for two with wine, so very good value right off the city square.

However, neither of us were in love with the cheeses they chose. After eating so many flavorful cheeses throughout Tuscany, the cheeses they put on our board were quite bland, and the various crostini were bland as well. The board itself is gorgeous, a real feast for the eyes. I think it looked better than it tasted, which is why I'm only giving this place 3 stars. Size-wise, it's just right. I believe we got a medium board, and it was the perfect amount of food for two hungry people. The price was reasonable, and the restaurant itself is very eclectic. It looks like a narrow deli/bar at the front (which is where you order), but if you go all the way to the back of the restaurant, it feels like you're in an old Victorian house, and there is a nice view from the window. We enjoyed relaxing here and chatting over our tagliere even if it didn't wow us.

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.
