La Taverna di San Giuseppe

"Very unique location: the wine cellar is located in an original Etruscan house from III century b.C. dug into the tuff rock, while the dining hall is a Roman era brick gallery. The menu features classic Tuscan dishes, like ribollita and chicken liver patè crostini, but also creative ones, like pasta made with cacao and cooked in milk! Very well known for their use of wild boar, especially as a pasta sauce. In their own words, from their website: "Tradition and creativity are the soul of our menu, with ancient dishes and other new ones linked to the evolution of the culture of our home made Tuscan cuisine. Our “senses” are an integral part of intelligence and knowledge of man. One of the many ways of getting to know a territory there is by “tasting it”. This menu is a mixture of creativity and passion for the ingredients of our marvelous earth." "

"La Taverna di San Giuseppe is a casual, hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Siena. It is hard to find from the street, but the inside offers true magic. The restaurant was transformed from an old wine cellar about 50 years ago, which explains the setting of the restaurant. Offerings here include traditional Tuscan and Italian dishes."

"TUSCAN CLASSICS 🏆 Michelin Recommended Parts of this restaurant date to both Ancient Etruscan and Roman times; today the restaurant serves up authentic local cuisine. "
