Ristorante Guido: Great Ambience and the Food's Good Too

  • Lovely restaurant with a great ambience.
    On arrival the waiters discovered I had a few words of Italian so refused to speak English which resulted in great hilarity all evening. When I noticed that some Americans were ordering in English I asked why all the staff were talking to us in Italiano. The head waiter said that my Italian was so good why would they speak bad English? By the time we left they had me convinced that I could speak Italian after having a long involved conversation about the political implications of the Prince of Wales' marriage to Camilla!
    Because of all the fun I forgot what I ate but the pasta was delicious and the tiramisu exquisite.

    La Torre: Act like an Italian

  • I booked a table here in my rudimentary Italian so didn't realize until we were seated with glasses of Prosecco that no-one, including the other customers, spoke English. I was greeted as "Bella donna", which I took as a compliment rather than an offer of deadly nightshade and from then on the language barrier disappeared. No menu, the owner recited the antipasto, then the pasta, then the main courses, and returned again to recite "La dolce". The kitchen and the two chefs are in full view, the owner and the barman wait tables and everyone is intent on you having a good time. After the meal we strolled the few steps to Il Campo which was bathed in moonlight. A magical evening!

    We ate crostini, then home-made pasta, tagliatelle with ragu, ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach, then shared roast chicken and salad, finished off with pannacotta so light it melted on your tongue, but unfortunately probably settled on your hips.
    The insalata mista offered in most trattoria can be a cacophony of flavours. if you prefer green salad learn to order insalata verde solo which usually gets you a bowl of salad leaves which you can dress with the olive oil and wine vinegar on the table

    We stopped at Ristorante Guido for lunch at the recommendation of the owners of the house we were renting. Guido is Siena's answer to Sardi's in New York. Or maybe Sardi's is New York's answer to Guido's. Plastered all over the walls were autographed 8 x 10s of famous Italian entertainers. We challenged ourselves by trying to find one we had heard of.

    The service was very good, but I thought the waiter was just a bit too friendly with my 13 year old daughter!

    We liked the antipasti and my son liked his lamb dish. The food was pricey. Wine list was extensive. However, we could have found many places where the food was as good but less expensive.

    Next to the portal and stairway leading to the Baptistry by the Cathedral is a gelato and bakery shop. Being the tourists we were, we had to have our standard gelato break in the afternoon.

    Gelato! The bakery items looked impressive, too!

    We came to this restaurant by coincidence. We were looking for a restaurant of the beaten touristic path and saw this one down a sidestreet. The restaurant is located in some kind of a cellar. It has a lovely interior and on the menu you can find local Tuscan food.

    Osteria Castelvecchio: Decent and rustic

  • This restaurant is a ten minutes walk from the center and serves up good Sienese food. There was a good selection of vegetarian dishes, and the wine selection (although small) covered the region's specialties. I would eat here again. The prices weren't the cheapest, but weren't horribly expensive as well. I really liked that this Osteria did not seem touristy like so many restaurants did - especially near the center.

    I had an amazing artichoke risotto plus a tantalizing selection of local cheeses. Both were extremely flavourful and like nothing I'd eaten elsewhere.
