Espresso in Italy, especially Siena

In Siena I was really impressed by the cafe Mantellini . A very good cafe was cafe Greco at via banchi di sopra just over the piazza del campo. Nanninis are very crowded places but the just serve an average espresso . In Florence unfortunately I didnt found those bars mentioned before
