Seven days of serious eating using Siena as your home base.


# A Foodie's Week in Tuscany Based in Siena

Siena is the most logical base for a Tuscan eating week — central, well-connected, with both Chianti and Val d'Orcia within an hour. Here is the plan.

The ranking

Day 1. Arrival dinner: Enoteca I Terzi

Light, wine-focused, recovers you from travel.

Day 2. Lunch in Chianti + dinner Osteria Le Logge

Big food day.

Day 3. Pici-making class + dinner Babazuf

Tuscan classics top to bottom.

Day 4. Montalcino tasting + return for La Napoletana 2.0

After a heavy wine day, Neapolitan pizza is the right answer. Wood-fired, 50 Top Pizza, €25 a head. Resets the palate.

Day 5. Pienza + pecorino tasting + Hosteria Il Carroccio

Cheese day.

Day 6. Truffle hunt + La Taverna di San Giuseppe

Splurge night.

Day 7. Long market lunch + casual dinner

Wind down.

Local tip

Mix one heavy meal with one light meal per day. Two heavy days back-to-back ruin a food trip.
