The atmosphere here is pure Siena neighbourhood osteria: gingham tablecloths, postcards tacked to the rafters, and pictures of Palio jockeys on the walls. The menu speaks of fine local traditions, too: piles of local meat form the antipasto toscano, there are plenty of hearty pasta choices and the house red is a decent Chianti.
