Prosciutteria Al Peccatore — Restaurant in Siena

Outstanding food and really friendly service.

We had three types of pasta cacio e pepe, garlic & tomato, and ragu. All three were excellent but the cacio e pepe was our favorite. This is a Roman specialty and we had tried it in Rome as well as in two other places elsewhere in Italy. This was by far the best rendition of them all, with an intense but well balanced cheese flavor and the local pici noodles (think thick spaghetti), it was mindblowingly tasty and at 7 EUR a steal too.

On top of everything, the owner was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from beginning to end (which cannot be said of many other places in the city)....

Serious attitude problem. We walked in at 1pm today which is a Sunday. The restaurant was completely empty and yet we were seated at a tiny table right next to the entrance with a garbage bin behind us. We asked to change table and the waiter rolled his eyes and mumbled something in Italian without looking at us. We simply walked out. We are here on holiday. We don't need to put up with such...

Such an amazing place. The people are very kind and explained their dishes. The food is classic and delicious. We enjoyed an Italian platter of prosciutto, insalata caprese, Melanzane, with a glass of wine and two desserts. Altogether for €40, we had a top dinner for a very affordable price. We loved sitting outside in this cosy street of Siena. Grazie mille

P.s. the home made...
