Since 2011 as soon as we have dropped off our bags at our hotel, we make a beeline to Il Masgalano. This is exactly where we want to relax after a long flight. Fortunately it is open at 3PM and we have many favorites on...the menu including : patate fritte, melanzane, lamb chops , pasta pomodoro, lasagna, insalata mista ,and pizza con salami picante our #1 choice . It even outranks the pizza at Pizzreria Regina in Boston's North End. That is saying a lot ! Everything is fresh and well prepared ,and the delicious desserts are hard to resist . There is a great wine list including wines by the glass. We have found the prices to be reasonable. We never feel rushed , so we have plenty of time to enjoy the view of the Basilica San Domenico directly across from Il Masgalano. Plus off in the distance is The Duomo that is especially beautiful at night .We always feel very welcome, and that is because of the wonderful people who work here. A huge grazie mille especially to the owner Giuseppe and to Teresa, Mariano, Matzia, Sofia, and Michela. They all make our time in Siena more special than I can ever express. Grazie mille a tutti !
