Where to Base

Gallo Nero
Just a short distance from Campo, at the boundary of the Leocorno contrada, the restaurant settles at the foot of a medieval tower: a thirteenth-century structure that once served as an armoury and which today, following a careful restoration, receives its guests in surroundings enriched by design furnishings from the 1950s and 1970s. It is here that the gastronomic offering of the Gallo Nero takes shape, with a cuisine that celebrates the Sienese tradition through meat dishes firmly rooted in the territory, set alongside vegetable creations and forays towards the sea. The cellar, nestled with
WebsiteOsteria le Logge
Having retained its old shop counter and glass - fronted display cabinets, this former grocer’s shop is perfect for anyone in search of old - world charm. However, the cuisine is the real draw with its focus on quality of the highest level. Wine buffs can ask to visit the wine cellar nearby, housed in a tunnel of Etruscan origin. Simpler dining room on the first floor.
WebsiteCampo Cedro
Situated just a stone’s throw from the centre yet away from the tourist crowds, this restaurant is well worth the effort needed to find it! Here, Japanese chef Sugihara, who has more than 20 years’ experience working in Italy, creates modern and skilfully prepared Italian meat and fish dishes which are fresh and elaborate. You’ll nearly always find seafood risotto on the menu, which is made with fish, mussels and finely chopped shrimps all cooked together with rice and then sprinkled with crumbled seaweed and dotted with tomato paste. Excellent value for money!
WebsiteParticolare di Siena
A fine-dining restaurant which changed tack in 2020, reducing its number of tables to just ten and embracing a sustainable approach to its cuisine. It now prioritises local suppliers and certified organic and environmentally friendly ingredients, while the restaurant’s own kitchen garden, featuring produce grown in line with biodynamic techniques, provides some of the best seasonal ingredients used in the dishes here.
WebsiteIl Visibilio
At the end of a dirt road leading from the contemporary art village of Pievasciata to the cultivated hills, you will find the impressive gate of The Club House hotel. Il Visibilio is a small gourmet restaurant that offers a delightful combination of Tuscan cuisine and the creativity of chef Iannotti from the two-Michelin-starred Krèsios restaurant in Telese Terme. Iannotti brings to Siena a formula similar to that offered at his restaurant. A single blind tasting menu, a long gastronomic journey consisting of surprise dishes that alternate between ingredients from land and sea, with extensive
