L'Osteria dei Rossi — Restaurant in Siena

It is extremely uncommon for me to give such low grades for restaurants as I know these reviews really impact businesses. However, I feel obligated to be honest with my review.

From the beginning, we were seated at one table with the other guests despite the fact that more than half of the hall was empty. We felt just slightly uncomfortable just and only because we were going to speak in our mother tongue, which is rather uncommon in Italy.

We've ordered a tomato soup, two types of pasta, and a glass of Aperol Spritz. Once we've received our first dish - tomato soup - we knew immediately that it will not meet our expectations. It was greasy and blend, just barely edible. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture.

Then we received our pastas. These portions were quite small and mine was quite humble with cherry tomatoes, nothing exciting at all. Just short pasta and some pesto-like herbs. What made me write this opinion was the other pasta - spaghetti with tomato and gorgonzola sauce. It was unedible for my partner and finished the dish just out of decency.

Aperol was given without any prosecco or other usual drink and tasted more like diluted with water - definitely not what we were hoping for!

As my travel partner noted, pity that the most expensive meal we have eaten so far during our trip was the worst one. To sum everything up, I am disgusted that in the heart of Tuscany, such mediocre...

Awful attitude of waiting staff who put us on a table next to another one that was full of their waiter friends from other local restaurants.....despite the fact the rest of their venue was empty. I know the water in Siena has alot of caca, or is it calcio che fa caccare or calcare and this could be the reason for arterial calcification and high blood pressure (ie lack of clear headedness), not to mention the deposits in the brain leading to a false sense of over-hyped self-significance.

We had some last of the Mohicans with us (nice Senese people) and despite this we were treated to abysmal clownish ineptness in the form of mis-prepared dishes with childish lame excuses of how they should be!

The apperitif was ready made from a bottle.

These guys have a restaurant that looks like a neolithic cave but worryingly the mentality is also from those times in the evolution of the human brain.

For the out-of-town folk who marvel at this naive cultural backwardness as something of a tourist attraction, you are simply propagating childish man-behaviour and bad over-priced...

Customers beware: As mentioned by some of the reviewers, they will talk and make fun of you if you’re non-Italian and asking more questions about the menu.

My wife was looking forward to trying out their truffle. When seated, my wife decided with 2 plates of truffles for her and our kid, while I was still contemplating on the meat related items being served on the menu. Being new to the restaurant, I decided to wait and see the truffles to be served and told the waiter I will order more truffles if good.

Then I overheard this waiter making some ethnic comments with his colleagues in Italian. I then asked if there’s any problem for me to wait and see the food being served then order later. The waiter raised his voice saying if I don’t like it there’s the door!

Well, we walked off. Mafia joint like this deserves to be rated as zero star,...
