Street Food in Siena: What and Where

# 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.
