Guide tips
Itinerary
Meet your guide at Piazza Salimbeni
Your tour begins in front of the Bandini Statue. You will get to know your guide and fellow foodies before heading out to find the city's best hidden kitchens tucked away in the medieval center.
Dig into a Tuscan snack board
Next, you will head into a family-run shop for a massive spread of cured meats and salty pecorino cheese. It is the perfect introduction to the artisan traditions that make Tuscan farming famous around the world.
Taste handmade pici pasta
Then, take a seat at a neighborhood trattoria, a traditional casual Italian eatery, for a bowl of pici pasta. These thick, hand-rolled noodles resemble fat spaghetti and are the ultimate Sienese comfort food, usually served with a rich garlic tomato or ragù sauce.
Treat yourself to medieval sweets
You will then explore the city's sweet side with almond-based ricciarelli, which are soft and chewy marzipan cookies, and spicy panforte, a dense fruit and nut cake. These treats have been made here since the Renaissance.
Pause for a perfect espresso
By the time you reach the coffee stop, you will be ready for a classic Italian espresso. Lean against the bar like a true Sienese local and enjoy the aromatic ritual that fuels the city each afternoon.
