Mamma seems to have sold this place since we were last here in 2015, and it is no longer the…read moreholiday highlight of yore. Chaotic service despite being only half full and measly portions for high prices typify our recent experience. We have visited Maremma 7 times over the last decade and often end up on Feniglia with the kids, probably one of the best natural beaches in Italy. Lunch at Mamma Lucia was always a treat everyone looked forward to, great piles of Pasta vongole and crispy calamari. But the menu is now just a photocopy in a cheap, flimsy plastic A4 wallet thingy and nothing on it costs less than €15. A simple lunch for a family of 5 should not cost over €100!!! Sadly can't recommend this place anymore, despite its prime location. Try the snack bar at Braccio next door instead!

THE BEST dinner in Italy from Venice, Florence, Bologna and Montalcino dinner…read more It is tucked away and also has a hotel attached. It is nothing fancy and ran be very few people. The service can be slow since there is only one waitress, however, the genuine experience, food and atmosphere is fantastic. There is no wine list, no specials written. The chef is amazing guy, perhaps 80 years old and shows how passionate he is about his restaurant and folks enjoying his cooking. The day we were there, one of the specials was tagliatelle with fresh truffles. The chef actually comes out after the waitress brings out the food and grinds the truffle over your plate. He looked so proud and happy while doing it too. The antipasto was the best one we had (hands down) and their pasta bolognese was so good that we ordered the gnocchi as well. Everything is home made and prepared to order, hence why it takes a while. We will definitely be back again (come to this region every other year)

The little place has a lovely stone and vine patio that is off the street and quiet enough to talk, warm enough to stay awhile. I ordered the pasta that comes with mushrooms and bacon. I could almost hear the homemade pasta and sauces being created steps away from the table. My wife and I both agreed this was the best pasta we had in all of Italy. The flavor was perfect, something about the bacon mixed in just took it over the edge. Highly recommend. Finished the night off with their Tiramisu... A perfect end to a perfect trip.

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.
