Planning FAQ

Recommended restaurants in Siena
Osteria le Logge - The best among Siena's more refined, pricey restaurants (more full of locals than tourists) features a friendly and helpful wait staff, a decor that hearkens back to the space's former life as a Renaissance pharmacy, and elegant versions of typical Sienese and Tuscan dishes. Via del Porrione 33 (just off the Campo ), tel. +39-0577-48-013, www.osterialelogge.it; Closed Sundays and November 15 to December 6.
Antica Osteria da Divo - This is part of a new breed of Italian restaurant, serving creative Sienese cuisine in a funky setting of airy brick, stone, and wood storehouses with tables wedged into the remains of worn Etruscan tombs carved from the tufa bedrock in the back and basement. Via Franciosa 29 (around the corner and down from left flank of the Duomo ), tel. +39-0577-286-054; www.osteriadadivo.it.
Castelvecchio - Simone Romi's service makes the single room feel intimate, and Mauro Lombardini’s skill in the kitchen brings forth a daily menu of creative Tuscan cuisine based in the freshest ingredients. This classy level of taste, atmosphere, and service usually costs three times as much. They also always offer a vegetarian option—in fact, Wednesday menus are almost entirely meatless. Via Castelvecchio 65, off Via San Pietro, tel. +39-0577-49-586. Closed Tuesdays.
La Torre - Even though it's just two doors off Siena's main square, tourists haven't discovered this down-home trattori, its kitchen open to the dining room and turning out homemade pastas and traditional Tuscan dishes. Via Salicotto 7-9, tel. +39-0577-287-548. Closed Thursdays and the second half of August.
Osteria La Chiacchera - Next-door to St. Catherine's house, the brick floor of cozy "the chatterbox" is scattered with little wood tables packed with locals. A great place for an inexpensive, simple meal. Desserts are stupendous. Costa di Sant’Antonio 4, tel. +39-0577-280-631.
