# Where to Eat Pici in Siena
Pici is Siena's signature pasta: thick, irregular, hand-rolled. Almost every restaurant serves it, but the difference between good and great is wide.
Key facts
- Look for trattorias that advertise 'pici fatti a mano' (handmade).
- Best dressings: cacio e pepe, ragu, all'aglione (tomato-garlic), or with breadcrumbs (briciole).
- Avoid restaurants where pici comes pre-portioned — that usually means dried, not fresh.
- Expect to pay 10-14 euro for a generous primo of pici.
- Pici works for vegetarians: cacio e pepe and aglione are meat-free.
