Ristorante 13 Gobbi — Restaurant in Unione dei Comuni Valdichiana Senese

Very nice restaurant with inside & outside dining available.

🦋 make reservations, and definitely recommend it. They do ask for it.

🦋 menu is well put together. 🦋 prices are fair 🦋 bread with olive oil and salt served on the house. Then they give you a small bag with bread. I didn’t enjoy that bread , very hard/dry and tasteless. 🦋 the caprese salad was a great portion . They give you oil, balsamic vinegar, and black salt to make it as you wish. 🦋 ordered the veal stew, it was good, but a very small portion with nothing on the side… 🦋 the ravioli was delicious. 🦋 wish we ordered the specialty; pecorino cheese wheel (didn’t know about it until after dining) 🦋 the tiramisu was good, nothing special.

Overall, I definitely...

I’d advise using google translate to potentially help with bridging this for anyone that doesn’t speak Italian. If you’re expecting top service then I’d approach with caution, otherwise I can’t...

Very nice terrace and also charming indoor seating. You definitely need to call ahead to get a seat outside. Food is average. The five bruschette miste were very nice. Why is the bread served as part of the coperto not also roasted? Ours was dry and tasteless. No olive oil to soften it. Primo with tagliatelle was good and tasty. Secondo with tagliata di manzo rather boring. It comes without any sides and the insalatina is more decoration than anything else. I had far better tagliata in Tuscany. We skipped the desert and moved on. Drinks are very standard, don't expect something beyond the mainstream. Prices are fair and service is personal...
