    Our trip to Siena meant Florentine Steak for dinner. Tuscany region is know for this specialty…read more Our problem was where to go! We Yelped a place in Siena but since the race was to be run on the weekend the sides of beef had not arrived everywhere. The first place we stopped guided us to Il Grillo Moro, it is their main item and only take reservations. They were gracious to call ahead for us and reserve as table. We were on our way. 25 min later in the Tuscan countryside, we arrived. The manager of the restaurant set the tone for the night, with his wonderful warm charm and delightful tone. He sat us at the "best table for us". We started with some great wine and "anti pasta ". Beef carpaccio, wild boar cold cut plate and fried ricotta zucchini flowers. Every item was pleasing to the eye and the taste, well, I'm not sure words can articulate the right senses it overwhelmed. Carpaccio was lite and perfectly seasoned. Boar plate provided many sensations and textures. The flowers were delightful. Just enough of everything to allow flavors to be tasted and enjoyed. There was no question what was next. As we sat there and watched steaks make there way to other tables, we knew our future. 2 steaks were on the ticket. The brought out the cuts prior to the cooking. Oh my. A short period later, they arrived. Served with roasted potatoes that included garlic and rosemary. After 5 min, the kids were asking to place an order for two more. The first order was close to 7lbs of steaks! We let them allow the first ones to settle and went to dessert. That was reserved for panna cotta and a version of hazelnut ice cream. Both had a nice layer of chocolate to enhance their individual flavors. Il Grillo Moro should be on the list to anyone traveling around the Siena area. You won't go wrong! Don't forget to get a reservation, otherwise you may be eating at 10pm and miss one of the best steaks you will ever have.

    So behind on my reviews...having to much fun and phone service was out for a few days…read more Dining at La Taverna di San Giuseppe is was one of the coolest dining experiences ever. Our server told us that this previously a cave. How often do you get to dine in a cave? The inside of the restaurant is of this stone like space. We were immediately captivated. While it does not currently have a Michelin rating, we were told it previously had a Micheline rating. The atmosphere is that of a cave...cool, a little damp, and intimate. San Guiseppe has wine cellar, according to staff, date back. We felt totally and complete immersed in history and that was only the building. centuries of Sienese life. The cuisine honors Tuscan tradition while elevating it through precision and care. Each dish showcases excellent ingredients and confident execution, embracing regional flavors rather than reinventing them. San Guissppe feature traditional dishes such as handmade pasta, rich sauces, and tenders meats showcasing distinct flavors with bold seasoning. We order lasaguna and cheese salad...absolutely superb! Our servers were superior...waiting on you hand and foot. You did not ask for anything as it was already there. Our server, Marco, was kind, humorous and knowledgeable. Since it was our first time to the restaurant he was super patient and informative regarding menu items. La Taverna di San Giuseppe has s long-term Michelin recognition for a reason...superior food and excellent service in a very unique space. We savored every bite and sip we consumed in San Giuseppe. When we are in Tuscany again, we will make a beeline for this restaurant.

    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.
