It was a late night in Siena as we headed back to our villa in Paciano. We called our friend and she recommneded Pellicano for a late night treat of good food and drink. The pizza was Excellent along with the wine, pasta and tiramisu... A great stop to watch the Calcio game that is on and great for families.. Large inside for parties and get togethers.. Open very late too. A must try.

We found this establishment on TA, as we were staying in the area we decided to go for dinner and booked. The experience was magical, as we drank our aperitif we watched a very large wild boar root across the lawn (and it wasn't yet 8pm). The bell rang for dinner and we all entered, no menu. It was the meal of the day, I am not myself a vegetarian but I love my veg, but this was another level. Also it was not expensive 50euro a head plus drinks and tip, the meal was 4 courses, all of which were tasty and beautifully prepared. Would definitely go back. The drive up is not for the faint hearted as it is on a 'white road', but just take it slowly. Wonderful

We were recommended this restaurant by a good friend who told this was the best seafood in the area. We arrived on a Wednesday evening to find an empty restaurant and to our surprise when we opened the menus there was only meat dishes. We thought we must be in the wrong place and contemplated leaving, which would have been a big mistake! We quickly changed gear from expecting fish to selecting from traditional Umbrian meat dishes. Everything we chose was excellent, ragu served on perfectly cooked pici for primi and secondi of succulent osso buco for my wife and lamb cutlets for myself. Service was very attentive by a very helpful young waitress who spoke perfect English. She went on to explain that fish was only served on Friday, Saturday and Monday ...... cue a second visit that Friday.This time we booked a table, which was fortunate as the restaurant was full. We were recognised from the previous visit and received a very friendly greeting. Now the thinking behind the different menus for different days becomes clear .... only the freshest seafood is served. Carpaccio of tuna; perfection! Gratinated scallops; delightful! Seabass; brimming with flavour! Sole; delicate! The atmosphere on this night was cheerful, with a hum of conversation and clearly a favorite of the locals, Everyone seemed to be eating an endless stream of different fish dishes many not on the menu, oh to be in the know!By now we were hooked (so to speak) and came back the following Friday for more sea-fresh fish. I had a swordfish steak (recommended by the waiter and not on the menu) to die for.For us this was the find of the holiday. We will be back when we are next in the area and be happy to work from either menu. Just note what day of the week it is!

Absolutely best beef ever, with very modern and uncommon style of serving. Also the wines are very, very good, and strong. The restaurant is also very nice and the waiter/owner very helpful. But cannot speak English, you have to practise the Italian :o)Make a reservation in advance.They are closed on Mondays.Defenitely the best beef tartar and beef sashimi ever.

The pizzas were very good and well-priced on a special "pizza Wednesday", but there as no house wine, which was a disappointment as the local red would have gone perfectly with them. The service was OK. However, we were overcharged on the bill and only realised the following day when we had no opportunity to do anything about it. There was no excuse for the mistake as there was only one other table there at the time. It may well have been a genuine mistake, but the person serving was more concerned about going outside for a smoke than paying attention to us. We shan't go back.
