Osteria Enoteca Sotto Le Fonti — Restaurant in Siena

One of the few places that specify where their beef comes from. Since my family were looking for an authentic bistecca with chianina beef, we chose Sotto Le Fonti for our dinner. We reserved a table by whatsapp which they were very responsive. The atmosphere is very warm and homely filled with laughter and chatter from friendly locals.
