Siena is, both for those who live there and for those who visit as tourists, an art city that fears no comparison with other destinations, even more celebrated, by virtue of its secular charm that modernity has not affected.
The other reason why Siena is in great demand by tourists is its enogastronomical excellence, which, with the rest of Tuscany, makes it a must for those who want to taste good food and fine wines.
On other occasions we recommended the typical Sienese dishes, desserts that represent an important element of tradition and the 5 DOCG wines that make up the pride of Siena and the province (Chianti Classico, Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Nobile di Montepulciano and Vernaccia di Gimignano).
To enjoy the best speciies, however, it’s useful to know which are the restaurants that offer traditional menus, so we have compiled a list of 5 places where to eat out in Siena.
Of course this is only a short guide, it’s easy to find other places that offer delicious dishes according to local recipes, but in these 5 restaurants you will be sure to taste the best of Sienese gastronomy.
