Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A really nice restaurant experience for lunch in Siena. The service was attentive and varning and the drinks and the food too. As we learned from our lovely waiter, he was from Sicily and could recommend a good Sicilian wine to follow the Franciacorta we...started with. The portions were generous and tasty. We will certainly come back one day!More

We actually ate here twice during our stay in Siena, and had a great experience both times. They have the best mussels we've ever had. The ossobuco is also fantastic, and they steaks are very good too.

We happened upon this place an thought it would be good. A few Hugo spritzers an beers later we were relaxed. The octopus salad was tasty and fresh. The Large Chef salad was magnificent. It had crisp greens, carrots hard boiled egg, cucumber, tomato, melon...and apples topped with tuna. It hit the spot.More

This was one of the worst restaurants we’ve been to in a long time. The first issue was they forget to bring our main course (when we saw other tables that came 15 minutes after us getting their main courses we reminded them, and they...were surprised and realized they forgot). Then the pasta dish my wife had was so salty that both of us could only stomach one bite each. Then when we went in to pay, we realized how dirty and disgusting the kitchen and register area were.More

The food is super unique and delicious! We tried the octopus salad, the tuna salad, the ravioli with ricotta and spinach, the mixed fish plate, and for dessert the Cantucci & Vin Santo. Truly 10/10, everything is delicious! The service is amazing as well, the...employees are really nice!More

What a special find! Not only great ambiance, but fantastic Spanish flamenco music! I ordered the caprese salad and the grilled swordfish which was the special for the day. The swordfish was very fishy and not good so they let me take it back and...get the mixed grilled fish. That was a little better.More

We chose this spot because it was slightly away from the hustle bustle of Siena we got seated outside which was great ! We ordered drinks however when looking at the menu nothing really took our fancy so we mentioned this to the waiter that...we was just going to have drinks instead and we had the rudest reply and made to feel guilty for not ordering food saying we are not a bar. Stupidly we apologised which looking back we shouldn’t of apologised as we didn’t do anything wrong in my eyes ! Also they charged us 10 euros for servizio which was ridiculous because the service was shocking and rude also we got charged coperto .. but yet to see the bread and oil they was suppose to have provided ! I strongly recommend you avoid this one ! Been to many places in Italy and had the joys of many restaurants with great food and service never have I had a bad experience until now !!More

Most restaurants close around 14:30 in central siena but then we were lucky to find this restaurant open. The place is quiet, away from the crowd. Staff was very polite and welcoming, and the food was great.

We arrived in Siena this afternoon, checked in to our Airbnb and went walking. Stopped for an aperitivo, then stopped for another aperitivo (practice makes perfect). By the time we looked for a place to eat (21:30), many had closed but Bacco was open and...we got a table outside. It's close to Piazza del Campo, but just far enough away that there weren't swarms of people walking by the table. Our waiter seemed a little put out that we arrived when we did, but the service was acceptable. We had the Cinghaile bacco pasta and Tagliata manzo al rosemary. Both were very good.More
