Osteria Le Logge was recommended to us as a place where locals dine in Siena, and its location is…read moreexcellent--just a short walk from Piazza del Campo, yet far enough from the main square to avoid the crowds and tourist rush. The restaurant has a charming and intimate feel. Upon entering, there is a small dining area to the right and a larger dining room on the main floor. We were seated upstairs, which offered a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. One thing we noticed was that most, if not all, of the guests in the upstairs dining room were English-speaking. It appeared that tourists were seated separately from local Italian diners on the main floor. This is only an observation, and there may be operational reasons for it, but it was something we noticed during our visit. The food was delicious, and the service was professional, prompt, and well organized. The pacing of the meal was excellent, with each course arriving at just the right time. The staff worked efficiently while still maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The only minor drawback was that the upstairs windows were open, and for a few minutes cigarette smoke drifted in from the street below while we were eating. It wasn't the restaurant's fault, but it was a little unpleasant during an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, we had a very nice dining experience. Great food, attentive service, and a quieter location away from the busiest parts of Siena make Osteria Le Logge a restaurant we would happily recommend. 4.5/5 stars.

Tre Cristi Embodies the Soul of Tuscan Food…read more Tre Cristi exemplifies the true soul of Etruscan food in Siena. It is the oldest restaurant in the city dating back to 1830 -- that's 184 years in business offering fresh and tasty Tuscan cuisine at very reasonable prices. The structure emits a classic, refined and warm vibe. A man and woman comprise a chef team that will take your mouth into the heart of gourmet Tuscan fare. We love to experience the local cuisine; so naturally, we started our meal with Panzanella. A bread salad that dates back to the 14th century from a historic waste-not-want-not Tuscan tradition. It is comprised of bread, cherry tomatoes cucumbers, olive oil and beautiful prawn and octopus on top. The taste was very comforting and the seafood atop were so fresh and juicy. Tre Cristi is known for their seafood, so we sampled a Selection of Raw Sea Food Specialties. The pretty plate had scampi, sea bass and red prawn with great extra virgin olive oil. One of the great things about Italy is that you can be assured you are eating some of finest and purest olive oil in the world. There are huge scams being perpetuated around the world where olive oil not from Italy is being pawned off as Italian. The second this pure and delectable olive oil touches your lips, you'll notice the difference and wonder what you've really been eating all your life. While the scampi was smooth and delicious, it was the prawn that ruled the plate. The prawn was presented as a deliriously enticing sashimi that was insanely satisfying. We refused to wash the sensational lingering prawn taste out of our mouths until the next course arrived. Cuttlefish are very common in Italian waters, and play a pertinent role in everything from appetizers through elegant entrees. So we were very excited to try Tre Cristi's Cuttlefish on Potato and Yellow Pumpkin and it was great. The pumpkin, which was more of a pumpkin sauce, was such a wonderful addition to the plate. The cuttlefish was seasoned and grilled perfectly, leaving us savoring every last bite. The Shedonist is a bit of a cuttlefish addict and could not stop raving about this dish. The Paccheri Pasta from the tiny renown city Gragnano (population is only 30,000) was exquisite. Gragnano is close to Naples and is known to make some of the best dried pasta in the world. The paccheri was presented with black ink of squid soaked cuttlefish. It also contained a smidgen of tomato sauce, a succulent prawn and fabulous Ricotta atop. The gorgeous dish is a typical Italian dish and was cooked to al dente perfection. The ingredients had such a unique and terrific taste individually but together it was magical. Ask for extra ricotta because that really set the dish off. For dessert, we had Sorbetto (the Italian word for Sorbet), a frozen dessert made of fruit, fruit juice, and/or fruit puree and ice (and does not contain dairy). Ours was a refreshing banana flavor that sealed our fate as sorbetto fans. Tre Cristi offers a truly unique, magical and tasty experience. One can really feel the historical energy while sitting in this almost two century old structure. The fare and libations are presented with love and care and are reflected in its superior ingredients and execution. It is one of the many reasons that is included in the Michelin Guide. If one wants to experience the soul of Etruscan food then Tre Cristi will completely immerse you in it.

This being my wife's favorite, decided to make a special trip to San Gimignano just to try them out! We made reservations and I am glad we did because by 8pm, every table was full. The place is very small and dark, but they add a small LED light at each table giving just the right amount of light to read the menu. We reviewed the menu only to find that they no longer have gnocchi. She was disappointed at first, but absolutely loved her entree. We weren't vey hungry so no starters tonight, but they brought bread and some sort of potato fritter that had bits of octopus in it. I loved it, my wife stopped eating it when she found out about the octopus! She was fine before I told her. We order a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio and I went for the wild boar ragu while the wife tried I Fagottini Del Contadino, pasta stuffed with pears & pecorino cheese in a saffron and pecorino sauce. Spectacular! The pear had a little sweet and the pecorino a little salt and the sauce was velvety smooth and delicious! My ragu was very hearty with lots of pork. Simply delicious. They had crème brûlée, which is my wife favorite. We still had a little wine left, so she ordered that and I got the double chocolate cake with orange marmalade. We both enjoyed our deserts very much. While they didn't have gnocchi, we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

We tried to get a table at Osteria Il Carriore but it was full. We chose this on our walk towards our hotel. It was almost empty on a Sunday night, with 2 tables of two occupied. I thought it might be good because it had a nice interior and exterior seating. We weren't very hungry because of our wine tasting and gelato snacking. So we shared a salad and had only main dishes. DH had the stuffed pigeon. He said it was ok but would not order it again. I had the braised boar with polenta and would definitely not order it again. The dish tasted salty and lacked other flavors. Even the polenta, which I love, tasted flat. Not a great meal for 48 Euros.

It's a cute inviting place, just near the campo, but it looked brimming with people. When we asked about a table for 4 people they said "of course!" We had one of the best meals in all of Tuscany here. I ordered a caprese (which came on stylish sticks) and the asparagus carbonnara. The hubby and kids ordered equally well, and we all agreed it was our best meal in Siena or the Tuscany area. Plus the people were nice, and there was plenty of interior seating so we never felt rushed. If you're in Siena, I'd say stop in, as it really was a winner!
