    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.

    Well we were shut out on our 1st and 2nd choices for dinner on a fall Friday night in Siena. We…read morewere fortunate enough to get an 8:30 pm reso at Le Pietre Vive. Lucky for us because it was our best meal in our 4 nights stay here. The food was fabulous The meat and cheese tray starter was great , the ravioli, pici Pepe were also very very good and the wild bore puttanesca and beef strips with roasted potatoes were wonderful as well. The young wait staff was friendly , caring and efficient and restaurant was elegant to say the least. The lighting was a bit bright and could have been dimmer but overall an excellent experience !!

The owner of an awesome Castle and B&B, Castello le Quattro Torra also operates an upscale farm to table eatery, Le Pietre Vive. The restaurant sits east of Siena. GPS and phone signals can be sparse along the route. After a 20-25 minute drive, you'll turn onto a gravel covered road that stretches a mile or so to the restaurant and farm. The setting is calming and visually appealing. Perfect tables are offered both inside and out. I'm the early evening, opt for a cloth covered table on the beautiful lawn. The Tuscan hills, the farm and sunsets are awesome. The menu offers a variety. You might consider the Florentine T Bone. It's ample and flavorful. The service is a bit relaxed, so have another glass of wine and enjoy the atmosphere. If in the Siena vicinity, be sure to place Le Pietre Vie on the agenda. You won't regret it.

Freshest selection of everything! It's this type of place that makes life worth living! I continue to fantasize about this wonderful eatery Every now and then! Bottom line it's worth flying here just to smell the fabulous cuisine wafting from the kitchen! Do they deliver?

    Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.
