Tuscany is meat-heavy, but vegetarians eat very well. Vegans need more planning.


# Vegetarian and Vegan in Siena (Honest Guide)

American/UK vegetarians sometimes panic about Tuscany. Don't. Here's the playbook.

What visitors ask

Vegetarian options?

Plenty — pasta dishes, ribollita (vegetable bread soup), pici al pomodoro, pizza.

Vegan options?

Harder but possible. Pasta al pomodoro, marinated vegetables, fagioli all'uccelletto (no parmesan).

Best vegetarian pizza?

La Napoletana 2.0 has a marinara (no cheese, vegan) and several veg-friendly options on the 50 Top Pizza-recognized menu.

Dedicated veg restaurants?

Orto de' Pecci is part-vegetarian and serves garden produce.

Bread / pasta?

Tuscan bread is unsalted but vegan. Fresh pasta sometimes has egg — ask.

Local tip

Learn 'senza carne' (without meat), 'senza formaggio' (without cheese), 'è vegano?' (is it vegan?). Servers respond well.
