So we backtracked to Cafe' Berta. It was a Saturday evening in Siena and the lack of customers should have been our tip-off. The food was mediocre and so was the service. The bread was stale and our main dishes lacked flavor. My daughter ordered the gnocchi and it was the size of stay-puffed marshmallows. After dinner we stopped next door at the cafe and we're greeted by a very inebriated patron. Needless to say, it wasn't our favorite meal of the trip...

Lack of diners should have been a big tell tale sign but beggars can’t be choosers, we were starving. The waiter at the pastry side was lovely (likewise the pastries are great) but the same cannot be said for the horrible server at the restaurant side. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days and behaved in kind rude, served me a tea cup with lipstick stains still on it (bright pink and covered quite a large surface area how anyone could’ve missed it is a mystery), served us tiramisu looking like it came out of the trash (refer to photo). This was a JOKE of a dinner.
