This place is one of the coolest wine bars I have ever been too. In fact I went here 3 times. You can select a platter of some of the finest meats, cheeses and olives to munch on whilst drinking some of the best local wines that are on offer. The house wines that are superb start out at about € 4 per glass. They also have a selection of beers and soft drink. The atmosphere here is incredible. It is housed in an old historic building where you go down a set of stairs to some cellars with tables. They play some funky music to keep you entertained. If the weather is fine there are also some tables on the side street. It has free wifi. It is situated inside the walls of the city about 200m from the amazing Piazza del campo. If you want to have a nice relaxing drink with some fantastic fresh produce to eat head to this place. You will not be disappointed. The staff speak pretty good English and are very helpful when it comes to selecting wines and food.

(March 2015 Review) Hands down the second best meal I had in Italy over a two week vacation. The crew working the counter were absolutely awesome and very eager to answer any questions. The pure art form of food they brought out was wonderful! Prices were stellar as well, make this a must on your trip to Siena.

We stumbled on this and what a great find! Get the boards! Beautifully presented and so tasty. You eat downstairs in what feels like a family wine cellar. It is self serve w plasticware but really good food.

OK — they take their time making your charcuterie. But, the result is pure art. It was delicious, and fun to sit outside. Get the big board for two — comes with wine. Really lovely way to pass an afternoon.

This place is fantastic — the owner is charmingly friendly and the stupid-pumping Greenday /Paramore /Bön Jovi mix behind the hanging meats, ecclectic lighting choices and spirling options for seating — it’s a calling to relax on this off side street in Siena. I’d come here for the snack boards and while didn’t see it on the menu(I have not worked on my Italian in any way, food culture is food culture respect no matter the language from what I can tell) I asked about the«Snack Board» and the owner immediately brightened even more — I guess he was well known for this! He offered for us to grab a seat and he’d put the board together. We wandered down into the seating options but chose to sit outside since it was shaded by the building — what I’d initially think of as weird but smart benches and tabletops picnic-style right along the building in the alleyway looking down to the passer-bys and would later see as commonplace in Siena. Wine came out first — solid recommendations and I really enjoyed mine so much I’d snag a bottle on the way out. Then came the snack board — an EPIC, EPIC(Not kidding we had fully two families stop, gawk and phone photo us picking on our appetite, but hey We had just come off a long bike ride in the tuscan hills so yeah, you don’t feel guilty attacking) spread which the owner went over — Ricotta and Sundired tomatoes, truffle oil on beef carpaccio, prosciutto from the local hills so it was thicker with a spice to it, tomato and raddicchio with balsamic, pears and honey, two other spreads on bruschetta — we plucked along polishing off the quality ingredients and luxuriously dipping the prosciutto into the genergous leftovers of truffle oil. Loved that, entirely. Ate it fully — we had an appetite and the selection was incredibly welcome for us. Got my wine on the way out(if you like it, buy it!) and felt that overall value was there — friendly, hip, easy, supremely tasty and welcome recommendations. All you would want from a Meat, wine & snacks stop(if a little heavy on the Greenday ;))
