Ristorante Taverna Di Cecco — Restaurant in Siena

Unfortunately we were lost finding the restaurant so we arrived almost 15 mins late. Initially, they tried to seat us in a shared table, and luckily, after asking, they moved.us to a more appropriate table where 4 friends could catch up properly. The food was good but during our first course the waiter removed the plates when one person was still eating and then brought her main course. WHILE she was still finishing her pasta. I live in Italy and have never had that happen before. It was very off-putting to be rushed through the food. There were other empty tables, so it wasn't as if he had other people waiting.

Of course we kept going and had a lovely chicken and porcini (boconccini di pollo con porcini). Finished with vin Santo and limoncello. Fantastic and we...

Best food during our two week trip throughout Tuscany and Rome. It was so good that we revisited the following night and some how was even better. The staff treated us like family and even accommodated American’s with numerous questions. The musts: Pici Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Tortellini Cece, and my favorite was an off menu dish Pici with white sauce e Tartufo. I literally shed a tear because the sauce & truffles were so good. I had truffles 5 previous times on the trip, all were bland and not fresh, while this brought back my love for the dish. On the second we had a couple filet dishes and Carpaccio, all were good. Dessert was the black & white ice cream and then Apéritifs. If you are in Siena, it is...
