Racism and xenophobia. Since we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter treated us in a discourteous manner, which made us feel uncomfortable. However, we decided to take a table and make our order. Although what we ordered was okay, in other places in Siena you can enjoy a better meal or drink.

The staff member warmed to us after things had calmed down a bit. A smile of acknowledgement would have been nice at the start, but hey ho, he's Italian! 😊 Would recommend. They had a choice of big pastries if you prefer a...
