# Street Food in Siena: What and Where
Siena is not famous for street food, but there are a few legit standing-up options for a cheap, quick meal.
Key facts
- Panini at Antica Salumeria, Via di Citta: cured meat sandwiches, 5-8 euro, eat standing or on the steps.
- Pizza al taglio (by-the-slice) shops scattered through the historic center.
- Schiacciata: focaccia-like flatbread sandwich, common at bakeries.
- Porchetta panini: roast pork sandwich, found at market days and a few salumerie.
- Gelato counts as street food here — see our gelato guide.
What I tell visitors
Combine a salumeria panino with a walk down via di Citta and a coffee — that is a perfect Sienese lunch for under 10 euro.
