Not just the standard caprese salad or penne arabitta (which I am not insulting as I love these dishes!) but inventive mix of flavours and more challenging recipes than your standard Italian restaurant has. Well priced food. I recommend the house wine as it is decent and does not have the obvious inflation of the others. The bread basket was... More

This restaurant was near our hotel and recommended by the hotel. The food was wonderful. One highlight were their 0km options (dishes sourced within 0km) - from those options we had the pecorino cheese tasting with honey, apple jam, green tomato jam. It was plentiful and delicious.

We had a fabulous dinner at this restaurant. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. The young waiter was attentive and very helpful with our selections. Makes my mouth water just thinking of eating there. Plus, it was just a short stroll from our hotel and extremely reasonably priced. As my husband said "I wish we had gone here... More

Recommended by the hotel clerk, we found the restaurant to be exactly the kind of Tuscan experience that we were looking for. Seeing local patrons there made us know that the menu would not disappoint us in authenticity. We were pleased with the quality of the food, the attentiveness of the staff, and the value for our Euros. We would... More

This restaurant is located at a short walking distance outside the walls of Siena. The food looked apetizing and tasted good. However, service was poor! The restaurant seemed to be run by a husband/wife staff who were handling reception, kitchen and service! They seemed overwelmed by the few clients in the restaurant (maybe they were missing additional staff!). Decor is... More

Fori Porta was across the street from our hotel and was recommended by the hotel staff. The food was beautiful and tasted great. We had a bacon wrapped fig stuffed with goat cheese and pine nuts! It was incredible! We also had a stewed rabbit with ragu while my husband had papperdella with wild boar sauce. Both were great...highly recommend... More

This is an excellent, family-operated restaurant just outside the center of the city of Siena. The food was delicious and the service was warm and personable. Trattoria Fori Porta was recommended to us by Lorenzo at Hotel Palazzo di Valli, just across the street, where we were staying. On our walk back from the city center, we stopped at the... More

This restaurant is by far the best we have experienced in Siena so far. It's a bit of a walk out of the centre but worth every minute, and it's also nice to experience somewhere more quiet and less touristy. The service was impeccable - the waitress was friendly, attentive, and considering she was the only one there, extremely hardworking,... More
