Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena
Near this historic gallery housing vast collection of Sienese masterpieces from the late medieval to Renaissance era, we'll enjoy a traditional plate of pici in a traditional restaurant. Pici senesi pasta is made in a way that respects ancient processes, such as bronze wire-drawing. You can taste them seasoned with cacio e pepe or with wine.

Duomo di Siena
In front one of the most characteristic places in Siena, we'll enjoy traditional dishes of the Tuscan and Sienese cuisine: Ribollita or Pappa Senese in a truly tuscan tavern.
Ribollita is a traditional regional soup made of bread and vegetables, a local favorite.
As for Pappa Senese, this dish's recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. With a small but essential detail that differentiates it from the traditional Tuscan pappa al pomodoro.
