The long history of the Mariotti family had over time created a series of key figures in the activity, above all the Sor Guido known as Mugolone, the owner, so nicknamed for his particular way of speaking abrupt, whispering… mugolante, in Italian.

With his slow pace and curved back, he was constantly in movement around the room, always with something in his hand: a straw-wrapped flask, a casserole. Abrupt in his ways and expressions, but a hard worker with great heart, all Siena knew and respected him.

Then there was Sora Emma, the undisputed Chef of the kitchen, a true leader of home cooking made it available for the restaurant. Marina and Marisa her daughters, inseparable workmates, always in the dual role, more mother the first, more cook the second.

Here starts again the new management of Mugolone, full of enthusiasm, passion and professionalism of a group of friends who one day said to themselves: “Too sad to see it closed, let’s do it again!”.

In a completely renovated kitchen and in a totally restructured environment, the Mugolone Restaurant is therefore reintroduced to the Sienese and to the visitors of our unique city, with a completely new look but respectful of the rigor of tradition transmitted from the past.

Therefore, Mugolone brings on the table the true Sienese tradition, revised and renewed in a contemporary key. From those raw materials that since Sor Guido were an icon and not to be missed – liver, brain, pigeon, rabbit – the rediscovery of the typical genuine and truthful cuisine begins, far from the flattened and standardized stereotype that today too often is confused with the idea of home.

Works by contemporary artists of great interest decorate the walls of the three rooms.

Not only the sense of smell and taste will be delighted, but also the view will be able to appreciate the memories left by important Masters of Art who wanted to reward shared values such as family unity and love for tradition, easily recognizable even today in the dishes proposed by the Mugolone restaurant.
