  • Siena’s most refined (but a bit sedate) restaurant serves Sienese dishes below a 12th-century palazzo.

  • Speciality Sienese foods (cookies, wines, preserves, cheeses, salamis) in a well-preserved 1879 shop.

  • Medieval ambience, easygoing service and modern Tuscan cooking – including a new Italian trend of carefully pairing each main course with a side dish.

  • Solid Tuscan dishes served under beamed ceilings (avoid the modern room to the right) or on the piazza outside.

  • The creative Tuscan food is quite refined for the price at this intimate little place. On vegetarian Wednesdays, only one meat dish is available.

  • Franca, Marcello and son Fabio produce Siena’s best ceramics. The black, white and “burnt sienna” designs are based on the Duomo’s floor panels.

  • Men’s and women’s designer fashion (Armani, Gucci, Prada, Versace) plus lesser-known, more affordable labels.

  • Atmospheric wine bar serving simple Sienese dishes under vaulted ceilings.

  • Chain of stationery stores specializing in marbled paper and leather-bound blank books.

  • A hand-scribbled menu of hearty dishes, with laid-back service and funky modern art.
