La Taverna di San Giuseppe Siena Reviews
Family owned and family run, a do not miss special spot in Siena!
I don’t write reviews unless something is really special. This was a return visit for us as we came in 2016, recommended by Rick Steves. The family that owns this restaurant is working alongside their staff and the attention to detail shows. Delici
Disappointing experience for us....
If you are looking for a leisurely dinner, this is not the place to go. They are upfront about the "two seatings" rule (7:15 and 8:45) and we knew that was the case. However, they had informed us that they would not seat a group of 8 togeth
Fine, but not good
Food was just okay, service was not very friendly. Wine list was not great. I would not go here again and would choose another spot.
Da so atrocious, argued with my aunt about reservation
Da so atrocious, argued with my aunt about reservation after problem was settled still argued, food was minuscule, what's ambiance.
This is a pretty good *tourist* restaurant.
Interior is cool.... brick ceiling, wine cellar vibe. Decent service. Salad was Amazing... one of the best ever. Osso bucco was weak... very under cooked and tough.
Good food, recommend to friends.
Service was good also. Took no time and the environment was inviting.
The ambiance is great, cool spot and beautiful interior,
The ambiance is great, cool spot and beautiful interior, but food was ok. The food came out super fast which was my first red flag. Second one was, everyone there were tourists. We ordered slow cooked veal (cannot fully remember the name), but it was
I just had lunch at the restaurant, the reason for 2 stars
I just had lunch at the restaurant, the reason for 2 stars is the front reception is an old lady with severely bad attitude, so sad that the way she treats customers so bitterly, when you sit to eat you loose appetite, they should replace her with s

Incredible! Walked in unannounced at opening time, 7:00pm, on a Friday night. We got lucky and received a table for the two of us. Obviously, a favorite for the locals! Everything we read about them ahead of time proved to be true or better! Servi

I have never been to a Michelin star restaurant before and now i understand why it is such a big deal. The food was at a level beyond what my wife and I are typically used to when we travel. The meat in the bolognese was not like the ground beef we g
This restaurant was a beautiful surprise.
We didn't know about it until getting to Siena. While sitting on a bench I read about it in Rick Steve's and my husband also found it on yelp at the same time. We travel and eat out alot and this will be a memorable meal and experience. It

Made the reservation a month in advance as this place is popular! Beautiful interior and the food is excellent and reasonably priced for what you get. Got the famous Florentine Steak for two and as advertised it came rare but "no blood" as

VERY impressed! There's a good reason why this has been a Michelin star restaurant since the early 2000s! The service and the charismatic waiters charm you into wanting to come again! Francesco was a sweetheart, and walked me through the wine ro

Sitting outside, people watching, great bread, classic, perfectly prepared pasta, a bottle of house wine, and all a two minute walk from St. Peter's basilica... what more could you ask for?
The service and the food was amazing.
There aren't too many seafood restaurants in Siena but this specializes in fresh seafood. I really enjoyed it.
Great service and wine list
This spot is great for lunch, the service was very good as the wine list. We had the carbonara and the pappardelle al ragu and both were delicious. I would definetely really commend and a fair price
Holy cow! This is a DO NOT MISS if you are going to Siena.
The food is amazing and the ambience is something you will never forget! The restaurant is a former dwelling, carved out of a cliff over a thousand years ago. We loved the food and the wine selection is superb. Do yourself a favor and make a reserva
Stop searching and just book this one!
Beautiful location with an abundance of character. Read a trip advisor review and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend as the food and service were brilliant. We got lucky and turned up without reservation but suggest you book to guarantee a tabl
Our best meal in Italy!
Our best meal in Italy! The food, atmosphere, and staff are all 5 out of 5. Our favorite was the truffle Gnocchi and the Pici with wild boar sauce, and don't forget the tiramisu. Amazing Brunello wine....
Best, and I mean BEST, dinner in Siena.
We went to many outstanding restaurants during our tour of Florence and Siena. Make no doubt about it, La Taverna di San Giuseppe's was by far the best experience we had while in Italy. Reservations a must and in advance or you will not be able to ge
Amazing restaurant in Sienna.
Tough to get reservation. Loved everything about it. And the prices were very fair
Book and go here
Amazing the food wine and service is great. Need to book in advance. Very worthwhile, wow it’s amazing. Pasta, steak, soufflé. All amazing
Simply amazing! We were delighted to get a table at this
Simply amazing! We were delighted to get a table at this restaurant.. it did not disappoint. The foods was sensational- you have to try the truffles! Best gnocchi we have ever had- melted in your mouth. The ambiance was relaxed but with charming ceil
Honestly, I thought this restaurant was soooo overrated.
First, even if you make a reservation, the wait to get in is awkward and confusing. We stood inside the restaurant for five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. We were seated in front of the cellar which was nice, but I'm surprised no one has re
What a find on our first day in Tuscany.
We saw the Michelin star signs for decades and couldn't pass it up. We had an appetizer plate with a cheese soufflé, some Type of savory pastry topped with truffles and an eggplant dish. For our entrees we ordered lasagna, gnocchi and beef with a re
Great Tuscan Food at great prices
This wonderful restaurant in Siena is a step back in history with incredibly old surroundings and a cellar that dates to BC days. This is one of my favorite lasagnas anywhere. The service is good, the food good and one can get in and out in a hurry
Bravo
Six years after the last visit, two Canadians had the very good fortune of obtaining a table at this fine restaurant. The food: a sparkling menu, a broad variety of dishes, and each item cooked to perfection. The people: wonderful. Excellent wines an
Exceptional food and ambiance at affordable prices. The best!
A lovely break from touring. The food was fresh and creative and the staff were friendly. I ordered the cheese soufflé which was as light as clouds. Superb. The chicken liver pate was substantial, well seasoned, and more like a mousse. A perfect lu
You’ll want to eat here every chance you get
Amazing food, wines and even more amazing people. Went for every meal I could while in Siena 🤗 you’ll want to too. Great vibes 🙌
Absolutely amazing food, ambiance, and service.
Worth the trip to Siena just for this place.
Great food, wine, ambiance and a great staff.
Actually went here twice in one week. The boar was great

Out of this world lunch and best meal we had in Italy! The service was prompt, attentive and professional. The restaurant itself is charming with 2 wine cellars and the oldest street in Siena, encased but visible through a window inside the restaura
Food (5 of 5) -- outstanding in all respects.
One of the best meals we have ever had anywhere. The quail eggs on sausage with truffles were delicious with an outstanding blend of flavors. The pecorino cheese soufflé with pears was unique and wonderful. The risotto, wild boar, and beef stew were

This review was from our November 3, 2023 lunch following our guided tour of beautiful Siena. We asked the waitress if she would separate the bill among four couples but she declined our request. Oh well. We started with two appetizers that we shar

This restaurant is the best restaurant we have ever been to and we have been to many restaurants around the United States and Europe. I will start by the service because everyone was very welcoming and Paolo, our waiter, was extremely knowledgeable a

Dinner was extraordinary and the service was impeccable!
Traveling all of Italy and this was the best meal by far! Even if you’re not super hungry be sure to order each course so you can enjoy everything they offer. The service was impeccable! The location is very cool because you can see the old aquedu
Atmospheric with great pasta and steaks
Wonderful meal with the family. Very popular with Americans and very busy. Lovely atmosphere of ancient brick cellar. Crostone with pear, lardo and Gorgonzola was simply divine. Husband and kids loved the steak. Extensive wine selection from all over
Perfecto!
Our fantastic receptionist at Hotel Athena was able to secure a table for 3 in short notice for the first service at La Taverna di San Giuseppe. The service was exceptional and welcoming from the start and the food was worthy of their Michelin stars.
Excellent food and service
We’ve visited this place just after opening for lunch. We’re lucky to get a table without a reservation. We’ve ordered some starters and pasta. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. I would definitely come back.
Excellent bistecca fiorentina, we missed Antinori wines
We were invited by our business partner. Food was very good, especially bistecca fiorentina. Warm and cosy place. Only thing we missed is Antinori wine. I hope they will have it next time, when we come back.
Best Restaurant in our Italy Trip
One of the best meals we had in a 2 1/2 trip through Tuscany and easily the best and warmest service we have received at a restaurant. So many great small touches but one that really stood out was giving us glasses of prosecco while our wine decanted
Siena Delight!
We read reviews from websites that said this restaurant was a “can’t miss” in Siena, and reservations were strongly recommended, and only by phone. Due to time difference and my work schedule, I tried to book dinner for 2 by email about a month
Magnificent - the building, the staff, and the food.
Even the smell radiating onto the street is exquisite - I loved this place before I walked through the door. The staff know and clearly love what they do, with a passion for food and drink that manages to be both stylish and approachable. The triango
One of the best!
I truly recommend this as a must visit if you are in Siena. Beautiful osteria- traditionally Italian and tuscan food. All freshly prepared and very delicious with wine to match 😋 The staff speak very good English, and respectively attentive. The t
This restaurant was spectacular.
We had pasta and gnocchi to start. Both were served with shaved black truffles. Then my husband had the Osso Bucco which was so tender it just fell away from the bone. I had the wild boar--spectacular!!! I had never had wild boar before and this
Very excited to have stumbled upon another Michelin star
Very excited to have stumbled upon another Michelin star restaurant while traveling through Italy. As soon as I saw it, I walked in to get reservations. We were able to secure seats that evening due the first seating. The interior is lovely and they

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Taverna di San Giuseppe Siena at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Taverna di San Giuseppe Siena page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at La Taverna di San Giuseppe Siena to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Taverna di San Giuseppe Siena!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
