Ristorante Il Duomo Siena — Restaurant in Siena

One of the prettiest Doms in Italy ~ the Siena Duomo. Here are a few things to know before you go -

Tickets are available to tour the inside of the church ACROSS the street. DO NOT WAIT in que/line only to be re-routed to get your tickets inside. They may be purchased on-line, that is always a faster line. TOURS of the church are given daily and more information about English Tours are available on their website or at the ticket office.

This square is super busy, be careful of your belongings and pick-pockets

Wear appropriate clothing - in Italy and most churches in Europe, your shoulders and knees must be covered for respect.

Don't talk when you are touring the inside of a church - save it til you get outside - You will be shushed. Respect others while they are praying and try not snapping too many pictures around them

NO FLASH - almost every church in Europe will let you take pictures BUT no flash is allowed.

Gift shop - stop by the gift shop at the Duomo they have interesting things and the funding goes back into the care and upkeep...

The cork from the water bottle robbed off, brake the glass of my husband, our NOT DELICIOUS food was full with glass.

The waitress brought a new food, but the pork tagliatelle came without pork. Seriously? After we waited 1,5 hour.

My ravioli was tasteless, the tagliatelle was “swimming” in watery something. We love Italian food, we eat a lot, but this was not even close.

We ordered a four cheese pizza too, but after all this mess and bad tastes, we decided not to eat at all. We asked for the bill. 54 euros and we did not at all. We spent almost 2 hours there waiting for a 3 minutes pasta, seriously?

We went inside to pay, it did not cross out mind that we don’t pay - but one of the chef came out and shouted us that “you have to pay, you have to pay”. We asked him to chill down, it’s our worst experience in Italy but we pay and we did of course. Listen, people come to eat to Italy, this was absolutely embarrassing! I was not supposed to give one star, but I have to, to be able to ask you to change! The waitress was very sweet, but...

I wanted to go in with my wife and children because there was nobody there yet. The waitress rushed towards us: ‘did you ask?’ Well no, so we didn’t know that we had to ask if we could eat something. Anyway, we could sit down. The menus were thrown on the table without saying anything. I have never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant. Actually, you would rather leave then. When the lady then walks past 5 times without looking with a grumpy face, you are done with it. These kinds of restaurants survive because of their favourable location. Some employees see it as a reason to be really rude. We left and ate somewhere else in the city where we could count on typical Italian...
