We had dinner in May. Britta gave us a very nice welcome to the family restaurant. The food was among the best we had during ten days in Italy. In particular the red pasta sauce was unique and amazing! Go there for a great meal at reasonable prices!

We found this lovely place through TripAdvisor and all positive feedback was spot on. We loved the personnel touch and the food was excellent. Thanks Robby and wife. Keep up the good work - we will be back. ''The swedes''

This is a lovely little restaurant with really friendly staff. They made great recommendations on food and wine. The food was really tasty. Just off Il Campo but without the 'Campo prices'. A brilliant find!

This restaurant was recommended by an associate here in Canada. She said to ask for Britta and mention who sent us. We were treated royally and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Britta was very charming and even introduced us to her husband who is the chef. Wonderful dining experience in a beautiful city. Gary & Nancy Montreal, Canada

Osteria Enoteca Sotto le Fonti is a cosy, pretension-free restaurant where we could pick from a nice selection of regional and local wine and taste some foods that were well prepared with quality ingredients. We sampled all of the Tuscan wines offered by the glass (all good quality) to accompany our light dinner which included a tasty variety of Sienese... More

Went to this restaurant on our last night in Siena after looking at reviews on tripadviser. We arrived with no reservation and although the place was very busy the owner managed to fit us in. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and homely with a lovely atmosphere. We had a three course meal each with wine and everything was exceptional.... More

We chose this restaurant before we arrived in Tuscany, looking through TA and other recommendations in travel guides, and booked a table by email. It is a bit out of the centre, a couple of minutes down the hill from Porta Fontebranda, but it's worth the effort to go. Run by married couple Britta who runs the front of house... More

Britta and Robert the owners were super kind and attentive to every detail and unlike some other top rated restaurants, you don't feel like you're in some rehearsed production or a fake show, you feel like...
