    I have a friend who lives in Florence, and this is her favorite restaurant. That probably tells you…read moreeverything you need to know, but I'm going to say more anyway. The best food in Italy is simple. It's when a kitchen takes outstanding ingredients, and prepares them in a straightforward manner. Sostanza excels here. Everything we ate was so simple, and so delicious. The trattoria itself isn't much to look at, just a casual space on a tucked away street. The staff will make you laugh, and guide you through the menu. We started with some cured meats, and the artichoke omelette. It looks like a little tornado of egg with artichoke in the middle, and it's excellent. We moved on to tortellini in brodo, and tortellini in ragu. Both preparations were nice, but tortellini in brodo is the move if you can only pick one. One of our wives actually tried to order a chicory salad, but our waiter told her that we were big men and needed to eat meat. (This isn't the reason I love this place so much, but it didn't hurt.) The butter chicken is obviously not the ubiquitous Indian dish, but young chicken breast that is grilled, and then finished in a sauce of butter and lemon. It is so uncomplicated, and perhaps the best chicken you could ever hope to eat. Don't skip it. Despite that being the best chicken I can remember, my favorite thing I ate at Sostanza were the "fresh new beans in olive oil." These are not to. be confused with the "white beans in tomato sauce" (this is how these dishes are listed on the menu...again, simple) which were also mind-blowingly tasty. But the fresh beans must've been picked that morning, and they just tasted like the platonic ideal of beans. Wash all this down with a quality bottle of wine (you can't go wrong with the list), and it may just be the best lunch you've ever had.

    Rudest service we encountered in all of Italy. Incredibly unhelpful and multiple moments of just…read moreindifference to answer any question.

    If you want an amazing, authentic Italian dinner when visiting Siena look for further…read more There are so many positives that I just do not know where to begin. It is off the tourist street. As soon as you walk in you will feel like you belong. The food is inexpensive. Be like a true Italian and order in each catagory. TIP-get your vegetable order with your meal and not as a starter. When we got there only one other table was enjoying themselves. By the time we started eating the place was full. I absolutely loved that with the exception of one other table the restaurant had residents that eat there often since they were all known. The restaurant is charming and cozy. The staff made me never want to leave and I wanted to be part of this Italian culture. The prices are unbelievable!!! That is another reason that we ordered to much food. Most likely the least expensive meal we enjoyed while in Italy. My ONLY regret was that we did not save room for dessert. We had already paid when I saw most other tables being served tiramisu. With the food as delicious as it was I can only imagine what the tiramisu must have tasted like. I will 10000% choose to eat here again if we return to Siena. Also from what I have seen in other reviews it seems that the prices are still the same. That is to be applauded.

    Everything here was delightful. The food, the staff... Even the house wine was delicious. We ended…read moreup eating EVERYTHING. Even used the bread to soak up all the sauce on our plate at the end. We had bruschetta as a starter and it was perfect. One of the best I've had in Italy. Leaving a review so that I know to come back here in the future! A full meal that was delicious and easy on the wallet!
