If and when I go back to Cortona, this will be a reservation I make. Also The staff seemed to know when to approach and when to give you space. It was truly a first class experience.

Well, they really set my expectations high for the rest of my list. Between us, we had about six different types of beer, each more delicious than the last. And we ordered food as well - her burrito was fine, if unexciting, but my cheeseburger with an egg on it was honestly the best burger I've had in a long time. The Italian cheese on it was phenomenal. We had to go back before we left cause it was just so good. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and the bar itself was kinda cool and industrial, but you're going here for the beer and the food. You won't be disappointed.

The cuisine honors Tuscan tradition while elevating it through precision and care.

San Guissppe feature traditional dishes such as handmade pasta, rich sauces, and tenders meats showcasing distinct flavors with bold seasoning. We order lasaguna and cheese salad...absolutely superb! Our servers were superior...waiting on you hand and foot. You did not ask for anything as it was already there. Our server, Marco, was kind, humorous and knowledgeable.

We ended up here by mistake (confused it with another spot), and unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. The restaurant fills up with reservations for two seatings, and from the moment we sat down the pace felt rushed. We ordered drinks and a starter while deciding on the rest, but multiple staff members kept coming by trying to take our full order. It felt like they were pushing to move things along quickly. There were a couple positives. The chicken livers to start were quite tasty and something we didn't see often on other menus. The primi were underwhelming. The pasta didn't taste fresh like many other trattorias in Siena, and the dishes overall were just average. The lasagna in particular was mushy, and the sauces didn't stand out. The secondi were slightly better -- pork ribs, Barolo-braised beef, and a "small chicken" -- but still nothing that justified the higher prices. They do have an underground wine cellar built into a cave, which is interesting to see, but there are other places in Siena with much larger and more impressive cellar spaces. Also worth noting, they add a "10% tax" charge rather than the typical €2 coperto per person. Overall, a rushed and fairly mediocre meal at a higher price point. With so many better places to eat in Siena, this is one I'd skip.

My favorite burger is the Volare which you can get extra spicy, the fries are really good too, they also carry a big selection of paninnis, I tried one with prosciutto and avocado, and a vegetarian one with eggplant and mushrooms.

I tried the NazionAle, a blonde ale, and the ColoniAle, an IPA. The NazionAle was easy drinking, what we would call a lawnmower beer in Florida, something for hot days, or socializing without getting messed up. The ColoniAle was a decent IPA, a little less hoppy than the typical IPA that I am used to drinking in the US. There is a full menu available, but we had already eaten earlier, so settled for fagioli cannellini alla'olio (cannellini beans in olive oil), and a pretzel (brezen) with nutella. The beans were good; the pretzel was seemingly stale, and a little tough to eat. The place is warm and intimate inside. There are some seats at the bar, but seating is typically at tables. Service was typical of what we have experienced in Italy, which is to say, not very attentive; I had to flag down a server to get a second beer. But, it is something I am used to having travelled to Europe several times.
