The pasta was absolutely incredible, the atmosphere cute and cozy and the service was excellent. But the dish that struck me the most was (i think) Sformato Di Cavolfiore or “cauliflower flan”. It was not a dessert but an amazing savory side dish. If you are in Siena, you must go! Oh yeah and the wine was...
