I'm not a big tea drinker but take my word for it, there's something for everyone. Take a few friends and just relax for a couple hours!

And if you go on Wednesday night there's usually live music around 10:30.

Intro: I was in Siena for Palio, the medieval horse race that takes place twice a year. It's a huge…read moredeal and that means Siena is going to be congested and a madhouse. An hour or so before Palio, I stopped by La Vecchia Latteria for a snack. Ambiance (2/5): This gelateria is pretty small, so given the timing, ordering was a bit of a mess. There's a small indoor area and the line was out of the door. Definitely a grab and go type spot instead of other ice cream shops that have plenty of seating and are bigger. No seating here. Service (3/5): Given the demand, they were trying to do the best they could by taking orders as quickly as possible. More of a controlled line would have been nice but they were working hard which is always appreciated. Drinks (N/A): Like most gelaterias, they have various soft drinks and water. I didn't order anything. Food (3.5/5): As usual, I went with the medium which allows you to select two flavors. I tend to go with a fruity flavor and a creamy flavor. The selection here is nice and consistent with the hundreds and hundreds of gelaterias that are spread out throughout Italy. Overall: Located in the heart of Siena, La Vecchia Latteria is one of the best and one of the oldest gelaterias in town. It makes for a good spot for a refreshing dessert on-the-go.

It's a pretty small place, so I can understand that. Everything is vegan and organic, it doesn't get much better than that! I ordered the gnocchi which came in a red pepper sauce, then got a side of grilled veggies (which that day turned out to be peppers). The gnocchi was very tasty. The portion was a bit small but for 5Eu it was reasonable. The grilled veggies were smothered in oil which was a little strange. There was a huge selection of desserts to choose from that day, yet somehow I found myself gravitating toward the gelato. I got the chocolate & hazlenut which was delicious and a great way to cool off.

The coffee was inoffensive - would've loved some more flavor - and the vanilla had an almost gummy texture, for gelato. My mom took the dark chocolate and pistachio. Man, the pistachio was flavorful - but we ate maybe 30% of the dark chocolate, stopping because of the heavy aftertaste. I'm not sure where the good gelato places in Siena are, but this isn't one of them.

My favorite dish by far was the ricotta gnocchi with hazelnut pesto, topped with a dried tomato paste. The gnocchi dumplings were unlike any other gnocchi I've had before--they were cut into a rectangular (rather than round) shape, and the pieces of dough were so soft, pillowy, and tender. But the best part was definitely the creamy, earthy hazelnut pesto, which was balanced out by the acidity of the dried tomato paste on top! Next, we had the Tonno del Chianti, which means "tuna of Chianti," but the dish was actually made of pulled pork in a marinade of sage oil and rosemary, and served at room temperature. Interestingly, the slightly chewy, fatty strips of pork looked a lot like pieces of canned tuna--hence the name of the dish! Finally, we had the beef meatballs served with an oregano-flavored mayonnaise. The deep-fried meatballs had a crispy texture and meaty flavor, and paired nicely with the unctuous, herbaceous mayo that was artistically smeared onto the plate. Overall, this was a fantastic restaurant with fine dining-level presentation, but I simply could not believe the amazingly low prices for all the different dishes!
