Vineria Tirabusciò Siena — Restaurant in Siena

Had dinner here last night. So glad i booked a table as it was Saturday night after all. I had the rose as recommended by one of the contributors here and found it enjoyable. My main interest coming here was also to enjoy a glass of the much talked about Brunello Montalcino.

The waitress should be smiling and not looking annoyed. The restaurant had a total of three tables occupied, and yet she couldn't handle the service.
