ChigianArtCafè

This everything you want in romantic out of the way italian cafe for lunch. The food and wine were good, but the setting, classical music playing, italian courtyard decorated with sculptures and the paintings on the ceiling of the portico, just lovely. Relaxing and gentile.

We had the best negroni ever here. It came in a decanter that was filled with smoked and flavour was incredible. It's a fairytale setting inside an ancient courtyard. We also had small sharing plates of meat and cheese. The motto on the well in the courtyard means it shines on the top and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in Siena. I loved that this is part of a foundation that is dedicated to promoting music that uplifts the spirit. Highly recommend visiting here for a peaceful rest from sightseeing and shopping.

We were walking past here and were attracted by the ancient courtyard, so stopped by for a drink. A great place to escape the crowds for a cold local beer, wine or food. Staff were friendly, encouraging us to take a quick look inside before we left. This was a real surprise, with every room different and artistically interesting. Would love to return and eat next time.

We almost missed this gorgeous place as it's hidden inside the walls ,not visible from the street... I don't think the atmosphere can get much better than this, but the place exceeded our expectations in all areas -food was just great (we had an appetizer plate that was amazing and the salads were big and tasty, too), my cocktail came in a cool bottle with smoke coming out 😅 , service was quick and good. All in all, 5 stars from us 💜

Stopped here for a quiet lunch on a Sunday before visiting Duomo and its museums. Great atmosphere: a quiet courtyard, lovely music because it’s located in a music school. Service seemed a bit off but ok. We ordered a small salad, a Burrata prosciutto plate, a pappardelle with wild boar, and a glass of red wine + sparkling water. No dish would I characterize as delicious. Papperdelle was dry and the sauce pedestrian. The burrata had an off flavor. Bread was not fresh. Wine was excellent.

Could have spent a full day just here. So relaxing on a rainy day enjoyed my meal wild boar Ragu was excellent 👌

The place itself is lovely and the food and coffe was ok. However, the experience was ruined by the waiter who seemed disturbed to serve us. We kindly asked for water for our dog and he seemed disturbed, telling me that he will do it if he has the time. I reminded him that he doesn't serve the dog, but the table. The toilet was dirty too so for us, all in all was not a good experience.

We only went for a drink, which seems to be the recommended experience. The atmosphere was incredible, some lovely Billie Holiday and a beautiful courtyard with a fountain. I see several reviews mentioning poor service, but the man who served us today was quite friendly and responsive. Only a great experience!
