White truffle peaks October–December. Here's where it's real, not sprinkled.


# Truffle Season in Siena: When to Come, Where to Eat

White truffle (tartufo bianco): mid-October to end of December. Black truffle: year-round, peaks in summer and winter. Anything else on a menu in August at €15 is suspicious.

Restaurants doing real truffle

Osteria Le Logge, La Taverna di San Giuseppe, and Antica Osteria Da Divo weigh the truffle at the table — that's the sign you're getting the real thing.

Expect to pay

A serious white-truffle pasta course runs €45–€80 depending on weight. Black truffle pasta: €25–€40.

Truffle hunting day trip

San Miniato area (1h drive). Many farms offer guided hunts with dog + lunch for €120–€180/person.
