Levava comigo uma pequena lista dos restaurantes recomendados de Siena e San Giuseppe estava em primeiro lugar. Ao principio custou-nos um pouco a encontrá-lo mas não tínhamos pressa, fomos conhecendo as ruas do centro histórico de Siena quando chegámos á porta desta osteria, queríamos entender que tal era o restaurante mais recomendado da cidade no TripAdvisor.
I took with me a short list of recommended restaurants in Siena and San Giuseppe was the first. I was a Little hard to find it but we did weren’t in a hurry, we got to discover the streets of the historic center of Siena when we reached the door of this osteria, we wanted to understand why this was the most recommended restaurant City on TripAdvisor.
Quando chegámos havia pouca gente e conseguimos logo mesa, dez minutos depois estava cheio. Para começar trouxeram um pequeno copo com um creme de verduras. Pedimos um “anti-pasti” com uma variedade de queijos e enchidos da região.
Sabia de antemão que tinham boa carne e pedi um prato para mim, além disso pedimos um guisado típico da Toscana (que tenho muita pena de não me lembrar do nome).
Gostámos de tudo e ainda pedimos sobremesas que foram uma agradável surpresa porque pelas descrições não antecipávamos o que nos serviram. O espaço é acolhedor e conta com uma enoteca que dizem estar numa antiga casa Etrusca e onde se podem degustar os vinhos e queijos da região.
As massas são frescas e preparadas no restaurante, a comida tem aquele toque caseiro como se em vez de um “chef” vestido a rigor estivesse uma avó que ainda guarda consigo os segredos da boa cozinha da Toscana.
Os preços rondam os 35€-45€ por pessoa, ou seja não é barato mas comemos muito bem e está a poucos metros da Piazza dei Campo.
When we arrived there were few people inside and we got a table, ten minutes later it was full. To start they bring you a small cup with a creamy vegetables soup. We ordered an “anti-pasti” with a variety of cheeses and sausages in the region.
I knew beforehand that they had good meat and ordered a dish for me, we also order a typical Tuscany stew (which I am sorry I can not recall the name).
We enjoyed everything and still ordered desserts which were a pleasant surprise because the descriptions didn’t quite anticipated what we were served. The space is cozy and has an enoteca that they say is place in an ancient Etruscan house and where you can taste the wines and cheeses of the región.
The pastas are fresh and prepared in the restaurant, the food has that homemade touch as if instead of a “chef” dressed up was a grandmother who still keeps with him the secrets of fine cuisine of Tuscany.
Prices are around 35 € -45 € per person, that is not cheap but we ate very well and is a few meters from Piazza del Campo.
