Alessandro and Elisa are friends of us. Tell them you are staying in Giacomo and Monica house in Castellina.
Is a little gem far from the crazy tourism in San Gimignano. Simple dishes made with very high quality ingredients. Alessandro is a wine lover: ask him to taste something good and uncoventional:-)

It is hard to find a restaurant with a real grill..La Speranza it is one of them, very VERY rustic and vintage.. many workers at lunch, old couples well dressed on sunday . Go only if you are planning to eat grilled meat and book in advance. Don’t miss to order the dessert ( made by the amazing Pasticceria Mario Barone in Colle Val d’elsa)

My new obsession in Siena: Campo Cedro is a unique and exquisite restaurant. An alternative to the classic regional cuisine, the fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisines is memorable. Che chef is a Japanese guy that lives here in Siena since a long time.
