I got a crab salad, shrimp and avocado salad, pasta with tomatos and anchovies with onions. Everything is so fresh and packed with flavor I loved every bite I got and wish I could have tried more. It's one of the best meals I have had in Italy and the best thing is how affordable it is. My SO got a delicious glass of wine, various types of ravioli and pastas and cutes of meat for a great price and he is still also thinking about this place. Highly recommend and it is a must visit!

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

We were walking along and just wanted a coffee to sip as we sat and relaxed on their covered patio. It's a great place to people watch. I went inside and ordered 2 Americanos at the counter. The helpful barista understood my English perfectly and my cups of espresso were ready quickly to take out to the patio. The coffees were bold and strong; quite enjoyable. We sat for ten minutes or so until another customer sat at the table next to us and lit up a cigarette, smoke blowing in our faces (unintentionally). Smoking on a restaurant patio is fine in Italy. They also serve pastries, small sandwiches, and gelato.

Knowing full well that Italians frown upon cappuccinos after breakfast hours we still ordered some and they were sincerely the best cappuccinos I have ever had. I shared this fact with our host who lead me to their espresso bar and shared his secrets behind a perfect cappuccino and also handed me a special cappuccino ciocolata complements of our host. With the helped of gracious host we ordered a fantastic bottle of Super Tuscan wine with came with complementary antipasto and enjoyed one of the more serendipitous evenings in memory. Grazie Mille.

It was a lot of fun people watching and the neighbor hoods showing their colors for the upcoming Palio di Provenzano (which was just held last week). What a great atmosphere!

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.

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.
