A
Antica Osteria da Divo
This place plays background jazz that is as smooth as the walls are rough-hewn. At the lower, cellar level you’re dining amid Etruscan tombs. The inventive menu includes dishes such as cannelloni with ricotta, spinach, grilled sweet peppers, tomatoes and Tuscan pesto sauce.

Kopa Kabana
Flout the places with enviable locations and be rewarded with absurd mountains of Siena’s freshest gelato, starting at €1.70. A second location is at Via San Pietro 20.

Al Marsili
One of the city's classiest restaurants, here you'll find white-smocked waiters dishing up traditional Sienese cuisine such as pici all'aglione (fresh Sienese pasta, with a garlic and tomato sauce). The restaurant also offers more innovative dishes such as stuffed panzerotti with truffle.

Osteria Le Logge
This place changes its menu of creative Tuscan cuisine almost daily. In the downstairs dining room, once a pharmacy, bottles are arranged in cases, floor to ceiling, like books in a library; there are over 18,000 more in the cellars so you won’t go thirsty. There’s also a large streetside terrace.

Enzo
Classic pictures of Siena decorate the walls, while classy settings decorate the tables. A variety of tasting menus relieve one from the need to choose from the lengthy menu, while curiosities like the 'deconstructed cannoli' will keep you seated for dessert. Dinner reservations a must.

Il Carroccio
Exceptional pasta and exceptionally busy, so arrive early for lunch and call ahead for dinner. Try the pici, a thick spaghetti typical of Siena, followed by the tegamate di maiale (pork with fennel seeds). It’s a member of the Slow Food Movement – always a good sign.

Osteria Castelvecchio
Highly regarded by locals, this eatery has a couple of attractive bare-brick rooms. Rumbling tummies should opt for the constantly changing menù degustazione. It's also a good spot for veggies, with at least four meatless dishes normally on offer.

La Pizzeria di Nonno Mede
Drop a coin into the well in the floor, then dive into the around buffet lunch or choose from the exhaustive pizza menu. The reasonably priced menu has a consistent spread of Tuscan favourites and the fantastic view from the terrace is also reliably Tuscan.

Osteria Boccon del Prete
A small, hectic, typical Sienese place, offering a daily changing menu. Dishes are largely composed of lighter fare such as smoked swordfish and salmon salad. There’s downstairs seating, so don’t back out if the place appears to be full.

Il Canto de l’Hotel Certosa de Maggiano
With the fertile Tuscan countryside beginning almost at the city’s edge, food is the other municipal obsession, with Il Canto de l’Hotel Certosa de Maggiano widely recognised as the city’s top restaurant.

Taverna del Capitano
A grand little spot for local food with friendly service. Specialities include zuppa di farro (barley soup) and ossobuco al sienese (marrowbone stew). The tables outdoors are pleasant in summer.

Osteria da Cice
In the hands of a friendly team, reflecting its mainly youthful clientele, this is the place for an informal, relaxed meal. The menu has plenty of vegetarian options among its primi piatti.

Ristorante il Capriccio
The restaurant of Pensione Palazzo Ravizza offers fine cuisine and the chance to eat in its wood-panelled dining room or outside in the wonderful garden.

Nannini
Always crowded, Nannini is something of a Sienese institution, baking its finest cakes and serving up good coffee with speed and panache.

L’Osteria
We promised a local we wouldn’t put this one in the book. We lied. It was just too good. Plus the place was half-filled with tourists when we visited, so it’s not exactly a secret. No nonsense, but savoury dishes at prices locals will pay.
