Just like others, found this restaurant as part of simply wandering around in Siena. Was taken in by the menu, which had something that is generally missing in Italy - variety. The place was hopping all night long and the service was the best we had on a two-week long trip. In fact, this place is worth making a visit... More

Six of us were taken to Osteria Castelvecchio by a friend who is living in Siena. We loved the food so much we went back a second night while on our trip. The waiter was very helpful. Be sure to leave room for dessert - the chocolate souffle is wonderful!

On our first night in Siena we decided to dine "local" so basically went around the corner and up the steps to this nice restaurant. Once inside, we were taken by the the decor, simple, elegant and artistic. The waiter was very helpful with the menu and for our secondi my friend decided to have spinach/ricotta ravioli with a blue... More

A bit hidden from the main street and modern decor but the dishes were tasty. Pici were really good and I loved my dessert, chocolate souffle with pears. Relaxed atmosphere and cordial service, looked like it was recently renovated.

Ate lunch here today just before leaving Siena to fly home. The meal was so good that we did not eat any more today! The stewed beef was super, though very rich. The polenta mushroom starter was very nice. service good, surroundings very pleasant and a good atmosphere. I recommend this place

Food was excellent; we went back again a few nights later to try other menu items. Probably the best food I had in Siena, and at a very reasonable price. They also had good wines by the glass. Atmosphere was pleasant, and the building interior has been elegantly remodelled (recently, I suspect). The service was friendly and helpful. It's a... More

After waiting a bit to order our food came pretty quickly. All dishes were very tasty and prices are favourable too.

It really is very easy to settle down into one of the tourist-targeted trattorias with their 10-12 euro price tags but go a little way off the beaten track and the result is a brilliant restaurant with good food, delightful service and most importantly...will not even come close to breaking the bank. Being a student finding myself more than often... More

stopped in here because it was convenient to a conference site. It is quiet and nicely air conditioned. The service was above average, in my opinion (contrary to other reviews). However, both my risotto con frutti di mare and my companion's spaghetti pici were REALLY SALTY. I'm not talking a little overseasoned but so badly that neither of us finished... More
