doing that. I turn a plain decoration into a beautiful<br />
one. That is what I love doing best. And it applys to<br />
all of my team. My chef is my sister and my good<br />
friend. They <strong>com</strong>e here and they learn from me.<br />
We have a sophisticated menu with typical regional<br />
Siena cuisine yet it is beautifully presented. People<br />
<strong>com</strong>e from all around the world and ask if the chefs<br />
worked at MIchelin star restaurants before being<br />
hired here...that is since the prestentation is simple,<br />
elegant and sophisticated. Acutally it is learning<br />
from me who I have learned from seeing one time<br />
the great chefs of the world. It is simple." says the<br />
humble owner, Giuseppe.<br />
owner, I had one bottle of Maestro-<br />
Janni(think the Brady bunch movie...marcia.<br />
marcia, marcia!)<br />
The name of the restaurant <strong>com</strong>es from the<br />
tradition of when the people walk before the horse<br />
races of the Palio. The drum players and the flag<br />
wavers walk and the award is presented to the<br />
best. That is the Masgalano. That is the name of the<br />
restaurant...to represent greatness. You know.<br />
People do assume that it is a provincial restaurant,<br />
yet it is sophisticated with the best wines that go<br />
from 250.00euros to 2,000.00 euros...and the<br />

music about 3 days per month, most of the<br />
time people <strong>com</strong>e in and have a good glass<br />

Giuseppe invites me to try a pear and honey antipasta<br />
and the wild boar of the restaurant and we sit<br />
and eat and talk about life. "America is nice," he<br />
says, "my fiance is from America and I've been to<br />
Oregon, New York, South Carolina and Chicago. She<br />
is a professor of South Carolina." Giuseppe says. I<br />
ask if she loves Siena? "Yes she does. We're getting<br />
married in the cathedral across from the piazza." he<br />
says. I laugh and ask if he and his fiance have ever<br />
been wild boar hunting on horseback and if they<br />
would like to do that? He laughs, "Not me and<br />
not my girlfriend. I would rather just eat it.<br />
You know one time a group of people came<br />
in and asked if the wild boar is shot by the<br />
owner or if it is bought. They came from<br />
Milano. When the owner said that he shot<br />
the wild boar himself...they left! The<br />
italians don't like to think about the wild<br />
boar being shot...they just like to eat it!" he<br />
says.<br />
