    We just happened upon this exquisite restaurant while taking in the sights of Siena and we feel very lucky that we did! This is some of the best food we've had in Italy and the presentation and service was second to none! Prices were reasonable considering the high end nature of everything about this place. It definitely has a gourmet flare, so don't come looking for lasagna or spaghetti with meatballs here. The food was impeccable!

    This is an exceptional place in Siena! The service is attentive and friendly, the food is not only beautiful to look at, it is as close to perfection as you can get! Upon being seated we were given a cacio e Pepe maracron; OMG! It was so good! Then we got a bread plate and grissini with a great olive oil for dipping. We started with the Sole appetizer to share. That may have been my favorite of the evening. It was so delicate in presentation and flavor. I then had the Pici with pork ragu which was fantastic! My husband had the Fiorantina steak. Wow! That is a treat not to be missed. I then had the Monkfish which also was fantastic. Maybe a touch more salt would have made it even better. We split the dessert that was a dark chocolate with artichokes and a crumble. Yes, artichokes. It was good! They then brought out a lovely plate of tiny desserts and a shot of Limoncello. Truly the perfect evening for our first night in Italy.

    La Taverna di San Giuseppe - Lasagna

    Taverna di San Giuseppe is a very well oiled machine. Reservations are a must (recommend booking…read morethrough your hotel/walking in and requesting a reservation for next day) but the atmosphere is well worth it. Every server is serving you and the owners are incredibly attentive. Meals are stepped out in a way that has you receiving each dish with ample time to enjoy. The tiramisu was to die for and the invitation to explore the wine cellar afterwards was a treat. Well worth it!!

    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.
