Probably my favourite place in Siena. An ordinary Cantina, with melt in the mouth Prosciutto, amazing food, service, craft beers, and free wifi. Brilliantly inexpensive.
We are so happy to come in here! Have no words.. Amazing restaurant in every aspect.
Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Try the sausage/caramelized onion/cheese sandwich, it's incredible.
Pizzas are not thin, big and very tasty. Good place to eat delicious pizzas. Bonus: Very good view towards Duomo :)
Lovely and stunning views surround this cafe. Outdoor covered seating will protect you from the elements as you enjoy the atmosphere
