"My friends and I had been wanting to try this place for years, but we had heard it was very expensive... so we decided to try the trattoria when we read on their site that it’s about 25-30€ per person, including dessert. Well, that’s a bit of a stretch, we paid 40€ a person (bill split evenly in 3), and we got two appetizers, one primo, three mains, three glasses of wine, three bottles of water and two desserts. Like they say, the food is a traditional Tuscan with some unexpected and unique twists. The minestrone soup was normal and delicious. The almond pâté was sourish because of the yogurt but good. I didn’t realize when I ordered it that the baccalà was in mousse form, atop two super thin slices of potato and maybe three small leek pieces, but it came in a dish that kept it super hot and it was actually very, very good. The chocolate cake was nothing special. Good but ordinary. Our waiter was cute, although arrogant, and explained all the dishes to us in a very knowledgeable and helpful way... although his descriptions made all the menu items sound unappetizing!! Even the desserts! Luckily we were pleasantly surprised when our orders arrived looking quite tasty! To sum up, we enjoyed our meal for the most part, spent a bit more than we were expecting, and although we were happy we had finally made our way to Cibreo, we agreed once was probably enough!"

Pizza • Caffè • Pasta • Dessert


"Although we have been living for many years a few kilometers away from this restaurant-pizzeria, we had never had the chance to try it before yesterday evening. After attending a nice concert in Pienza, we decided to sit for a pizza at Zia Remy: it turned out to be the worst dining experience I have had in Tuscany over the last twenty years. The place is dull, the bathroom is dirty and the service is ridiculously unprofessional. The loose red wine vino della casa , which is usually good in this region and throughout Italy, is of the lowest level at Zia Remy: it has very likely a high sulphites content and an exaggerated price given the quality. Oddly, an average pizza costs here about 9€, much more than in pizzerie such as Le Antiche Mura in Buonconvento, Il Piccolo in Torrita di Siena or Il Madonnino dei Monti in Petroio, just to cite some places within a short distance from Zia Remy, where you can get a much higher value for money. You may wonder why Zia Remy is so peculiar. The answer was provided by the owner himself, a chatty guy from Rome, who came to bring the bill by the way, charging two desserts while we ordered and got one . After realizing that we live nearby he admitted that his prices are meant for tourists and stupidly suggested us to go back to his pizzeria to be treated as locals next time . Of course there will not be a next time for us at Zia Remy as the honesty of the landlord is as much important to us as the quality of the food. As the Pienza based roman guy has the clear task to cheat his customers serving expensive junk food, I strongly recommend to avoid this place. Both tourists and locals may easily head to other restaurants: there are plenty of good ones around."
