It rotates every month and they make the food fresh for the whole restaurant and it is served family style to your private table. In other words, each table in the restaurant is eating the same thing. You can watch them make the pasta as the first course is being served. It really feels like you are in someone's home. The night we came, the opener was a meat plate. Plenty of salty Italian meats to make it a meal in and of itself. You can ask for as much as you want but save yourself for all the courses. Next came skewers of lamb sausage. They were so different and had a tang to them that was amazing. The third course was backed artichokes, nothing too special. Next was a beef broth that was excellent with bread. There was a soupy consistency to this. The pasta was next. Gnocchi was out first pasta. I could see them making it so I knew what was coming and the timing was amazing. This was followed by ravioli which was so fresh again, you could taste it. Our final course was a wild boar that was so soft and juicy. It really got me hooked on this meat. The desserts were average but who cares, we were so stuffed by then anyways on the good stuff. Plan to spend over 2 hours here as this is a meal to experience for sure!!

The food was fabulous The meat and cheese tray starter was great , the ravioli, pici Pepe were also very very good and the wild bore puttanesca and beef strips with roasted potatoes were wonderful as well.

Siena is a great destination in Italy. The area is lush, green and teaming with the subtle aroma of…read moreolive trees and wine vineyards. The owner of an awesome Castle and B&B, Castello le Quattro Torra also operates an upscale farm to table eatery, Le Pietre Vive. The restaurant sits east of Siena. GPS and phone signals can be sparse along the route. After a 20-25 minute drive, you'll turn onto a gravel covered road that stretches a mile or so to the restaurant and farm. The setting is calming and visually appealing. Perfect tables are offered both inside and out. I'm the early evening, opt for a cloth covered table on the beautiful lawn. The Tuscan hills, the farm and sunsets are awesome. The menu offers a variety. You might consider the Florentine T Bone. It's ample and flavorful. The service is a bit relaxed, so have another glass of wine and enjoy the atmosphere. If in the Siena vicinity, be sure to place Le Pietre Vie on the agenda. You won't regret it.

Down slippery steps in the rain, but worth the risk!…read more We did have reservations which meant we had deuce in the corner of the room where we could people watch. They started us off with a complimentary Prosecco and a little portion of bean soup. So welcoming! My partner ordered the Ravioli with fresh shaved truffles and I tried their potato gnocchi with fabulous cherry tomatoes. It may be my favorite meal in four weeks of traveling around Italy. Claudio, the chef came by and we talked about the restaurant business and he even recommended a Mexican restaurant in Palm Desert which we will try. Finished with a special concoction of cocoa powder milk and two other ingredients that made for a nice digestivo. You can sit outside if you prefer
