My family and I stayed in an apartment just steps away from Antica Osteria da Divo, which was recommended highly by the owners and pratically every tour group we went. My husband and I closed out our vaction by going on a romantic dinner date at the restaurant and had such a lovely time, we promised to write a glowing... More

Stepping away from the throngs of people crowding Siena streets, Antica Osteria da Divo is a respite in and of itself--a quiet and calm ambiance. Etruscan tufa does wonders for the soul, and the food and service here add even more to the experience. We had lunch, and would have stayed the rest of the day except that the line... More

Atmospheric, historic. Really makes you sense the ancient history of this beautiful city. The food was inventive, tasty. One dish that stood out was the risotto served in the round of cheese. Fantastic! The service was excellent, the price was high but not unreasonable for food and service of this quality. I would definitely go there again! More

This was the only restaurant we went to for two dinners while in Siena last month. The food was excellent. Presentation and service was superb. All the dishes exhibited excellent and creative preparation. You won't be dissappointed. Excellent staff who are well trained and informed. Near the top of the escalators if you are not staying in the old part... More

Fantastic restaurant. The food is outstanding! Each dish an exciting experience. The service is excellent and shows a well run operation. The setting is unique and something you will remember for a long time. This is a restaurant not to be missed on any visit to Siena. Close to the Duomo, it is a comfortable walk from almost anywhere in... More

The chef, Pino, is know for taking classic cuisine in new and interesting ways. Like many other places in Siena, this restaurant is built into a hillside. So dining is done in the grotto. As you would expect in a top-end restaurant, the waitstaff and the sommelier were attentive and well-informed. The food was fresh and seasonal, as it should... More

It's worth the effort to find this small restaurant, which is hidden behind the Duomo. Wonderful ambience (you must see their artwork), great food and service, and fair prices. More

We made reservations here during our honeymoon at the recommendation of a friend, and we were not disappointed. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the atmosphere was unlike anything we have ever experienced. How often do you have the opportunity to eat an amazing dinner in a former 50 BC tomb? It has a cozy, authentically Tuscan feel,... More

My husband and I have been visiting Europe for many years and love to explore the world through beautiful food experiences - from haute cuisine to street food. When in Tuscany, we always return to Antica Osteria da Divo to savor the wonderful things Chef Pino di Cicco is cooking up from the region's famously delicious ingredients. And just like... More

We had an amazing lunch at this place during our visit to Siena. The food was absolutely awesome as was the atmosphere with nice jazz music in the background. It's also an interesting decor with cave like feel. They bake nice breads in house as well. One word of warning - we are vegetrians - and we told the waiter... More
