The food is average, for Tuscany, but the price is really below average. If you want to save money, this is one of the best place in Siena surroundings, if you want to experience a great dinner, you have several better options at walking distance. More

We really enjoyed the food, staff and prices. We ate every meal there on our stay in Colle de valle. House wine at six euros was great. Nice to see young ladies at work and very pleasant. I wish I was there now! Much better food, service and prices than ROME !!!!! More

We discovered this little restaurant with much pleasure: we got a chance to get a table without having any reservation ( - make sure to book as it is always full in the evening!) The food is very good, it smells tasty and is mostly prepared with local ingredients, a great thing when you're touring Tuscany: it is the wonderful... More

I cannot recommend this quaint little restaurant enough. The food was spectacular, especially the poposo! Service was friendly and charming. The waitress recognized us the second night here and chatted us up...long story short, we raved about the poposo...minutes later the owner/chef was outside giving us the recipe, along with detailed instructions, and had taken the time to write everything...

This little restaurant is very basic but the service and the food is excellent. They have a new menu every day and most of the food is with local ingredients. Service is very nice and you really enjoy a good meal. Price/quality is excellent. More

The reason that other Tripadvisor reviewers like this restaurant has to be the price, because it can't be the food (average) or the service (slow and below average). I have been there twice and both times have been disappointed. Not worth the trip More

We had some really lovely food here. My Husband and son shared the Fiorentina said it was great. We had really good food and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. We also loved the restaurant and the quirky deco. The drinking glasses are unique. Will definitely go back! More

I loved this restaurant. Their hand-rolled pasta and anchovies with artisanal butter were absolutely wonderful. The staff was incredibly nice. I will definitely visit again. More

Friendly staff, good food. We had dinner there twice (one inside of the restaurant, the other one outside) and the experiences were positive. Besides the pasta and pizza we've tried other regional food and the quality was good. More
