Delicious cheese and pepper Pici pasta and house wine. Contorno, or side dishes , were served after the main dish. Great service, off the beaten path.

Went here after looking at trip adviser and was not disapointed! In Siena it seems the smaller the menu the better the food and this was the case at del Gatto! The chef writes up a daily menu so you can be assured all the food is fresh. We arrived at 7pm on a Wednesday night and the place was... More

I'm a recurring customer and I'm always pleased, extremely pleased, to find a new menu every time. The ingredients are always based on the season, something that many young people don't even remember nor know. Strong points are the meat, improved across the years, and the pasta (when available it's homemade, quite often), not to mention the sweets, 90% of... More

We ordered a three course meal, but I can no longer find the names of all the dishes that we ordered on their website. For entree, we ordered a rigatoni dish with a meat sauce. It was nice, but nothing special. We also ordered the Ravioli maremmani burro e salvia, which was also nice but once again, nothing special. For... More

Attracted by the name (Gatto in English means Cat) I chose this nice restaurant to eat with my husband. The food was good, we tried different typical dishes, and they were really nice. The atmosphere also was very nice!

On our way back to our hotel after a lang investigating walk of Siena's streets we as usual, were on the lookout for where we would eat in the evening. We espied the very modest looking Osteria del Gatto and we decided it was the place! When we came back, we discovered this small two roomed restaurant was teeming and... More

A must if you enjoy and appreciate good, authentic and traditional Italian food. The osteria del Gatto was recommended to me by a friend and I was not disappointed. The passion and authenticity of chef Marco makes the whole experience worth while. If you want to experience (local) Italian food with the Italian experience, Osteria del Gatto is definitely the...

If you are looking for a small, intimate, authentic Sienese experience, look no further than Osteria del Gatto. Recommended by Rick Steve's regional book, my husband and I decided to check out this small little local restaurant that I would describe as more like eating in someone's home. We could hear 2-3 people working in the small kitchen, making all... More

We were there in late November. It's a small restaurant so it does fill up. I agree with other reviewers that it is not "fancy". On the other hand, the prices were reasonable considering the quality of the dishes and I thought it was, overall, a great value. The menu is apparently handwritten daily but when we were there, we... More
