Ristorante Mugolone

Let’s go to Mugolone she says! It’s a michelin star restaurant, it’s going to be great she says! lol. Nope! Service: host lady made us feel like we didn’t belong.. Atmosphere: wannabe classy. Even forgot to put music on. Food: - beef tartare was actually very good. Good quality beef, topped with the mayo and black truffle, succulent! - Cod risotto with shellfish bisque was basically tasteless. Just a bowl of very cooked rice with some dry cod. Sad. Was returned and came back very salty. lol - octopus was alright. Well prepared but nothing amazing. - steak was tender and tasty. But again, nothing worth the detour.

It was relatively empty, as we came earlier than most Italians eat dinner. We got placed in one of the many rooms in the back, which got us a bit worried to be forgotten. However, the staff made up for it by often checking the room to see if we needed anything. The food was super tasty and well made. In the end when we got an espresso the waiter even gave us the bean bag to smell the aromas which was a nice plus.

A very beautiful and delicious restaurant located in the heart of Siena. They were kind enough to let us dine with no reservation which is a big deal because of how small Siena is. Service was great, friendly and fast. I LOVED the pici pasta. My steak was also delicious and overall a nice introduction to central / northern Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!

We came across this restaurant, and were seated when it was relatively early and quiet, but it took a very long time for anyone to return and ask us for our drink order. When someone did come she abruptly came up with pen to paper, like a diner waitress. No greetings or suggestions. I had to ask ‘are you here to take our drink orders’? When I said I was wanting to order a glass of wine, which I was then just going to order from the menu, before I could finish my sentence she said ‘I don’t know wine’ and stormed off to get the sommelier. So we waited for him for a while. He was quite gracious and pleasant fortunately. But it just set the tone and the service from everyone besides the sommelier/waiter was so awkward. We did have a great first round of drinks, the food was ok but took forever, and no one asked if we wanted any more drinks. There was a lot of sitting and waiting. At first we thought maybe we did something to offend the waitstaff, but I noticed it was hit or miss with the other tables too, but at least they had wine to drink while they waited! I was later very surprised to see that they were Michelin rated, I would have expected a much better experience and food. The prices definitely reflected the rating though.

One of the best restaurants in Siena center where you could enjoy some of the classic (and not only) Tuscan - Siena recipes. 50 mt walking distance from Piazza del Campo and even less from the Duomo. Don’t miss talking with Davide about the wine list and his advices for local great wines.

Everything was amazing. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had the liver and onion aperitif, braised veal cheek with sweet potato purée and the chocolate mousse for dessert. Although the portion for the veal was small, for the price, it was extremely tender and delicious.

Regular food, nothing special, not bad either. Very small portions. Slow, unfriendly service. Extremely expensive: cover charge per person is 5€!!! (Usually it's half of that in Italy.) For that, for 2 people, they bring you 4 small pieces of stale, hard bread. Small bottle of water 5€! I wouldn't recommend it, you're better off finding a restaurant further away from the crowded area, probably a much better option.

I believe the Chef who contributed for the Michelin Star awarded has left while the restaurant still thinking the food is maintain as it's quality. Otherwise they need to think how to improve their taste of food. It's cannot meet up the expectation and so sorry to tell, it won't match few small Italian restaurants we visited. Price is higher but the main point is the food is not delicious. Miss out this restaurant is totally ok and not regret.

Located on a side street off Siena's Campo is Mugolone; one of two Michelin listed restaurants located in Sienna--at the time of this writing--and the superior choice by far. It serves traditional Tuscan food with a modern twist. Diners can pick Al fresco or inside. Service is impecable. The chef will send out some aperitifs to wet your palate. I started off with the GUTTUS CHEESE TORTELLI, ALMONDS, BLACK TRUFFLE, ALCHERMES. It was delicious. The local Tuscan truffles leapt out. The second plate was the catch of the day. I was weary of ordering fish so far from the sea but the choice was rewarded with an excellent choice. I then had the dessert which was to die for. The restaurant has a large selection of wine. Lots of places to eat in Siena, but very few that have the quality of Mugolone. Seek it out and you will be rewarded.

Delicious! What a random stop during a tour of Siena. My group of 4 had lunch here and everything was absolutely delicious! From the amuse-bouche to the tagliolini, the fillet and gnocci. Michelin rated for a reason.

We just happened upon this exquisite restaurant while taking in the sights of Siena and we feel very lucky that we did! This is some of the best food we've had in Italy and the presentation and service was second to none! Prices were reasonable considering the high end nature of everything about this place. It definitely has a gourmet flare, so don't come looking for lasagna or spaghetti with meatballs here. The food was impeccable!

Stopped by for lunch today and boy what a treat. From the amuse bouche to start to the fresh truffle on the beef tartare, simple but PERFECT pasta and a fruit tiramisu that had to be portioned otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stop. A must stop!

This is an exceptional place in Siena! The service is attentive and friendly, the food is not only beautiful to look at, it is as close to perfection as you can get! Upon being seated we were given a cacio e Pepe maracron; OMG! It was so good! Then we got a bread plate and grissini with a great olive oil for dipping. We started with the Sole appetizer to share. That may have been my favorite of the evening. It was so delicate in presentation and flavor. I then had the Pici with pork ragu which was fantastic! My husband had the Fiorantina steak. Wow! That is a treat not to be missed. I then had the Monkfish which also was fantastic. Maybe a touch more salt would have made it even better. We split the dessert that was a dark chocolate with artichokes and a crumble. Yes, artichokes. It was good! They then brought out a lovely plate of tiny desserts and a shot of Limoncello. Truly the perfect evening for our first night in Italy.

We walked in, asked about gluten-free pasta, and they said yes, bread too! Great meal for both of us. They are very accommodating, made me a pasta dish that I created, great service, Italians eating here too. Located in between the Duomo and the Piazza del Campo. Perfect location, great food, lovely atmosphere.

Excellent food, good price, very good service. Excellent pasta dishes and all of our appetizers were great. Very clean bathrooms! Highly recommend for lunch!
