Started well with friendly welcome and reasonable initial service, however as the night went on it became more disappointing and frustrating. We went for the taster menu with wine pairing (3 wines) The good points 1. The first three courses were excellent albeit served slowly 2. Good location and ambience The bad points 1. Main course over cooked 2. The deserts were disappointing to say the least 3. No information as to why the wine was paired with the food 4. Tables left uncleared despite diners having left a considerable period of time before 5. Staff going for visible smoking breaks close to the restaurant 6. Painfully slow service. Two and half hours for 3 courses with the deserts only brought when we wanted to leave and pay 7. Waiter not interested when we mentioned the problems with no thanks for us visiting the restaurant 8. Very expensive A very disappointing evening at was meant to be the highlight of our stay in Siena. A long way from a Michelin restaurant with many better places close by. Not recommended

The food was excellent, but small portions and over priced for comparable restaurants in Siena. Atmosphere was very stuffy. read more The food was excellent, but small portions and over priced for comparable restaurants in Siena. Atmosphere was very stuffy.

Presumably touting the former glory of this restaurant as there is no current Michelin recommendation. And it shows. The service was indifferent and the food equally so. The blaring music of unlistenable top 40 hits makes clear they are not aspiring to any level of class.
