A wonderful deli and bar. Lots of amazing foods to eat in our take out. Side note, I am biased as my husband works in the kitchen

Grotta Santa Caterina da Bagoga
@cristina
True Sienese food. The owner and chef was a jockey in the Palio. His nickname was Bagoga. Although he is from Montalcino, the Palio made him fall in love with Siena.

La Taverna di San Giuseppe
@cristina
A place where you truly know you are in Siena. The most traditional of all.

What to See
Duomo di Siena
@cristina
The most magnificent cathedral in Italy. Due to the black plague, it was never finished as Siena lost 50% of their citizens. It was supposed to be twice the size. You can still see where the columns were supposed to go and the original facade of the part not finished is still there. Please get tickets in advance.
