Compared to many restaurants in Siena this was an absolute bargain, with most menu choices several euros cheaper than most comparable alternatives. Unsurprisingly it was fully booked when we first tried to go, so we booked a table for the next day. It's located quite central, 5 mins walk from the Campo.You can either sit inside in a pleasant, cosy dining room, or outside in an alleyway for a more buzzing atmosphere. Staff are friendly and efficient, and the courses didn't take long to arrive.The food was very good and we enjoyed everything they served, particularly the pici cacio & pepe, zucchini with mint and the roast potatoes (yes really, they were amazing!).Overall excelent food and wine, good service an unbeatable prices, and we'll definitely go back next time we're in Siena.I felt quite sorry for the restaurant opposite which was empty, yet Osteria Permalico was full.

Itâs amazing that I remember a restaurant experience from nearly 7 years ago. My memory isnât that good but art and food help⦠I had a short time in Siena for a lunch but had an amazing meal in a restaurant that was built within an Etruscan cave/tomb. I remember the restaurant for the amazing scent of truffles and a piece of art that I love. Iâm glad I was able to rediscover the restaurant during this visit. The art was still there as was the scent of the truffles. Dinner was memorable as the gnocchi with white truffles and the Chianti Riserva were wonderful. What made the dinner even more unforgettable were two obnoxious American couples that were seated adjacent. They ordered one risotto to be shared 3 ways, one salad to be shared two ways, one rack of lamb to be split 3 ways. They asked for 3 baskets of bread, enjoyed the free prosecco but ordered nothing else. As expected the waitress didnât understand their splits and ended up needing to send items back to the kitchen. One of the women commented that âhigh-end restaurants donât make these kind of mistakes". If you are used to going to high-end restaurants, you should know better than to tuck your dinner napkin in your pants. I commend the wait staff for remaining gracious in providing service in spite of their obnoxiousness.Overall we had a great dinner and I highly recommend. I would love to buy the art too!!!

We popped in for a quick snack without having done our research - and it was as good as previous reviews. Excellent panini made to order, nice vernaccia and very friendly service - very good value near San Domenico.

We loved this small family-run restaurant. They had seating outside along the steep street, but we chose to eat inside. It had a clean and modern feel. We ordered three glasses of Prosecco and a glass of the house red. Our waiter (who I think may have been the owner) was nice enough to ask us if we wanted a bottle of Prosecco for the same price. Two of us had the Tuscan Cacio e Pepe. It was amazing and done perfectly. We also had ravioli with meat sauce that my daughter said was fantastic and a pecorino stuffed spinach pasta with tomatoes, pine nuts and a white sauce that was delicious. They did not have spinach so the chef sent out grilled tomatoes. The cost was very reasonable. We would highly recommend!!Thank you!

A local osteria. Nothing fancy, just good, traditional local food. I had an excellent pici al buristo (pasta with local blood sausage) which was very tasty. Some of the food may not be for everyone, however, there is simple pasta and ragu for those that are not so adventurous. Small wine list - our bottle of chianti classico was very good. Would definitely recommend for a simple, local meal, away from the tourist crowds (and prices)

Is the brainchild of four close friends who share a passion for their territory, rich as it is in history, art and natural bounty. Together with Chef Pino, the heart and soul of our enterprise, the partners all espouse the philospophy of SLOW FOOD.

The restaurant is attached to a boutique hotel. They put a lot of effort into the presentation of their dishes but the tastes disappoint. Read the menu carefully - half of choices are marked with an asterisk which means that the main ingredient has been deep-frozen. Truffle courses are listed exclusive of the price of truffle, so they will end up costing almost the double of the listed price. They use the regular spaghetti, not the thick, fat variety, for their 'pici al ragú' and the ragu was too oily to be enjoyable. Lamb chops were perfectly cooked but, again, the crust was too greasy. The staff appeared overworked and unhappy.Dear Nik,Thank you very much for your email; we remember very well and right now, I'm thinking : You are the same people who stayed here?just because you said everything was good, you left the tips at the end and you did not speak in English, not in Italien, just in French.For spaghetti noodles, you can see on the web, on tripadvisor that we have a special machine that produces it, the asterisk means that the fish (only this) and we have 6 dishes of this, it undergoes methods of culling established by European laws and it seems strange to me being French you don't know the same. About the price on the menu, by law we have to indicate it because it is the first means by which a customer relates; you have also specified that white truffles cost more because it is more prestigious, but we do not oblige people to prey on it; as you may have noticed we also have numerous dishes to choose from a la carte that are not truffle-based (from appetizers to seconds, including sweets). We thank you anyway for taking your time to write a review that alas is not true but we appreciate the thought! There is freedom of speech... however I would like to say that it is not right to speak in this terms,(especially if you think who should be the final reader) because here all customers read and must have a real consideration of a place, (not only here, all over the world) so please for the next vo lta, when you're in a restaurant, expose your problems "on-site" and ask to be sure before you talk and thus avoid ugly figures with everyone.

The setting f the restaurant, the service, the food selection quality are all superb. I can see no areas where it could be improved. We both had truffle pasta dishes which were excellent. The wine selection is great and the Canneto Montepulciano that I ordered was one of the best I have tasted. This was a great way to spend our last night in Siena. Overall Siena has an excellent food scene. On to Florence.....Grazie Robert, che bisogna dire ...... che noi siamo voi e viceversa, siamo una famiglia e ci piace stare insieme, in allegria e serenità .

I previously reviewed this Salumeria back in June 2015 when it was rated as the No: 1 restaurant in Siena and could not understand how it achieved that rating given that it was really just a salumeria and small delicatessen that had a very small internal seating area although there were also a few tables outside.Some four years later it is still no: 1 and obviously has a very loyal following on TripAdvisor. Not much has changed since our first visit. The small building is still divided into two areas, the shop with its meat, cheese, salad and fresh food counter on one side and a selection of other foodstuffs and fresh fruit on the shelves opposite. The other area has a small internal dining room and kitchen with a small number of tables. Since the date of my first review we have spoken to the owners of the apartment where we stay in Siena and have found out that this is their "go to" place whenever they are seeking to buy cold meats for a special family occasion. We have also had the opportunity to sample more of this salumeria's products that are largely made in-house. On this most recent stay in Siena we visited this shop on five occasions to buy various cold meats and pre-made salad items.Without a doubt the in-house made prosciuttos, salamis and, especially the porchetta, are some of the best we have tasted. Some of the salads and quality of the vegetables was also very good. There is also a good range of cheeses to choose from.During our visits we have found the owner to be very hospitable and, rightly, very proud of what he produces and very keen for people to sample his products. His coffee is also very good.However, no matter how good the products are I could not rate it the best restaurant in Siena.ciao westy54, mi ricordo della tua recensione di anni fa,al tempo mi dasti 3 stelle ora 4 , siamo migliorati. noi non ci riteniamo un ristorante ma dei buoni produttori di cibo,in un negozio particolare di altri tempi , che i clienti apprezzano x l'autenticità del posto.oggi l'alimentazione è varia , ma le materie prime sono quasi tutte uguali , noi ci differenziamo e questa è la nostra forza ,il nostro locale è un convivio di sapori e chiacchere come era in Toscana e in italia tanto tempo fa .Capisco che venendo da un paese con tradizioni differenti una "bottega" possa essere il numero 1 dei ristoranti a Siena ti sembri strano , ma qui è da valutare un insieme di cose anche se la più importante è la nostra passione e conoscenza del prodotto sia italiano che anche di primizie straniere . Comunque quando ritorni fatti riconoscere che ci beviamo insieme un bicchiere di vino e ci raccontiamo delle storie . Un abbraccio , a presto
