A Foodie's Week in Tuscany Based in Siena
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.
