Eating in Siena

Siena is a treasury of flavors, ranging from traditional Tuscan and Sienese cuisine to more elaborate dishes that still honor the typical ingredients of its territory.
Many establishments have been transformed into cozy taverns or luxurious restaurants, offering enticing and tasty dishes made with local ingredients accompanied by excellent Chianti Classico or Brunello di Montalcino, depending on preference.

Typical Restaurants:

The venues in the city center not only offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere but also serve typical dishes from the tradition: pici cacio e pepe, ribollita, panzanella, peposo alla senese, and the indispensable "cantucci" and "panforte". All of this is accompanied by excellent desserts that partly draw from the Sienese tradition: ricciarelli, cavallucci, panforti, all made with ingredients from the local tradition.

Gourmet Restaurants:

For those seeking a more intimate and special experience, outside the city walls, there are excellent locations within castles, ancient estates, or agriturismos, which offer more sophisticated alternatives to popular tradition, often curated by Michelin-starred chefs. Environments, sometimes revisited in a more contemporary key, but still able to create that atmosphere that only the Tuscan countryside can offer.
