Polite staff, a partly German speaking boss take care that you fell well. The small but well selected menu card is offering typical toscane/Italian food (see exemplary pictures). The Antipasti Terra was fine but not super. The primi piatti Spagetti Chianina was just perfect! Secondi piatti Carne also perfect. (Excellent tasty meat) Dolce just see the pics and imagine a perfect taste. Over all for 2 incl. Water, Vino de casa 1/2l, 2 Caffè 65€ is a reasonable price, I had often less for more money ...

The windows open on the sea, on a nice cove with beautiful pines: this place is a small piece of paradise. And this is the perfect place to have lunch after a day at the beach or before catching a plane in Pisa. The food was excellent: for appetizer we had a calamari salad - calamari were served hot while the delicious salad, including spinach, was cold - which was amazing: i really liked the spinach and calamari together. Then I had the pasta alla vonghole which were delicately spicy and really delicious (and believe me I have developed an obsession for this dish for years now). My friend had some other type of pasta with seafood which were also excellent and a bit spicy: the sauce was completely different from mine (they know how to cook here!) but as delicious. So it will come as no surprise: I highly recommend. I cannot wait to take my car and go back there to escape the city for a day!

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.

They're us a lot to the left and I think more spaces below. The bufala mozzarella cheese is wonderful. Fresh melon is a winter melon with exquisite flavor. Their balsamic vinegar was the best I tasted all week and that was after being to Volterra, Siena, Lucca, and other smaller Tuscan towns. I got the shrimp in creamed chickpea sauce and it was excellent!!! A treasure in the hills. Staff speaks English and are wonderful!!! I can only imagine how wonderful dinner would be.
