Osteria Carnivora in Province of Siena

"What a wonderful experience tasting traditional Tuscan cuisine. We only popped in to have a bit of lunch and Lorenzo told us to trust in him and if we were happy for him to serve us some local food choices…. We were not disappointed… it was a fantastic experience and really good value for money. Thank you Lorenzo for your hospitality and taking time to talk us through the food selection."

"Stumbled across this great place today, the owner Lorenzo was so nice and really accommodating. The produce was so beautiful and fresh. He went over and above for us. Thank you Lorenzo!!"

"The owner and a young waiter are extremely nice and speak very good English. The atmosphere is cozy and homy. We had a Fiorentina steak and to say it was amazing is an understatement! I would highly recommend to take a detour and visit this place."

"Our favorite meal on the 10 day trip! Lorenzo crafted the perfect meal of local dishes. Loved the authentic family vibe. All of the food is delicious! A must visit!"

"In one word- authentic! It has been on my list for a long period of time and finally, it happened. What a meat!!!! So grateful for the experience."

"Stumbled upon this gem that showcased the best of Tuscan hospitality and passion for top quality ingredients simply cooked. We were welcomed by the owner and he gave us a plethora of dishes all absolutely unique and exquisite. Could not recommend this restaurant higher if you are into meat and want to sample what Tuscan food has to offer."

"Ours may be an unusual experience but I can only rate Lorenzo Chini for the character, charm and culinary talent that he extended to me and my family during our unexpected visit to his establishment. Somehow our reservations were mixed up with a period of three days that he was closed to do some filming by a Netflix crew from Asia. Lorenzo graciously honored our reservation and treated us to his classic Tuscan menu, personally waiting on us and engaging us. The film crew above and us alone in his street front dining room. An amazing meal which included extras like fresh Tuscan head ham and escargots in tomato garlic sauce. A fun guy who does things his way. Go visit him and leave enriched."

"…a bit funny feeling when they brought half a liter of wine on the table without ordering, but it’s the Toscana way, I guess ofcourse, we didn’t leave it but then the food…amazing, amazing, amazing! the pasta was perfect, the meat even better… small tiny place, the meat comes straight from the butchers shop next door…a place you must go!!!"
