I never, EVER, had a bad meal in Siena. Everything is so fresh and prepared with love.
My 4th year in Siena

It's a rough life you're living, Rick Steves. ;)
Lol
I will be visiting La Taverna Di San Giuseppe for some of that amazing looking pasta & bruschetta next week!
Nice trip
I felt so at home in Sienna. Next time, try my favorite pizza at that very same restaurant...pizza boscaiola. It's like nothing else!!
what restaurant did he visit?
OMGOING it's l'Osteria del Bigelli Siena. They're on the second floor because I recognized the credenza. Fun place, loud, but very savory food.
Sienna is in Spain.
Ahmaf Mahid no, it’s not. You need to travel. Look it up in a map.

Sorry, I was being a bit cheeky (not nasty) because you spelled it with two nn’s. It happens often and irritates the locals. I know because I have the privilege of actually living there. I’m Scottish but I’m married to someone who was born and raised in Siena. Sincere apologies if I seemed arrogant. Ciao!
A nice market.
living the goddanm dream Rick
You might want to mention the name of the restaurant or put it in the show notes like other popular vloggers "Samuel and Audrey" do. That's because Google Maps now allows the uploading of cell phone images even while on location. Sometimes there are hundreds of photos which usually also include pictures of most of the dishes offered too. Many include prices as well. In Google Maps, the further one zooms in, more icon locations appear. One can even start their own location and/or leave a rating for one already there. And many times Google Earth's "Street View" 360 globals are included too. Most places are already there all around the world including China and Russia. There are literally millions of photos already posted even for small "mom and pop" shops.
My husband and I ate there twice when we were in Italy and we loved it! What was the name of the restaurant with the cheese seller?
I wanna make a visit ricks soons
I love Rick, but how many of us will really get to go into the wine cellar if we go there?
You can just go and try asking. Italians are usually very nice people if you show true interest for their culture and traditions. Especially if you learn a couple of local expressions and don't act like a regular tourist. They can be very happy to let you see and enjoy what they love doing.
How can I get Siena from Rome?
I agree with what he said but the salami and dessert shops featured are not examples of what can be found on the back streets. That salami shop is on the main high priced shopping street that has entrances to il Campo. That dessert shop is on a street full of dessert shops & restaurants, very crowded street. Don't know about the restaurant featured, give him the benefit of the doubt, let's say it is on a back street. But, do as he says, not as he did, there are many great places to see and foods to try that are really on the back streets of Siena.
And the reason I remember those two shops is because that dessert shop served up the best dessert I had on my trip. The opposite for the salami shop, it served up the very worst and the most expensive sandwich I had in my 60 days in Italy.
The restaurant was also on the Piazza di Campo. Osteria del Bigelli.
Big Fat Tony's where else did you go in the 60 days?
Napoli, Sant'agata di Puglia(olive harvest), Pompeii, Ercolano, Massa Lubrenese, Rome, Marino(wine festival) and several small cities around Rome, Orvieto (best roasted chicken), Assisi, Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre(best Nature walk), Bologna, Verona(pastries), Venice, Ravenna(best gelato), Milan, Torino, Pinerollo. Then add a bunch of cities along the train line between those main cities. 30 different cities in all. Some cities twice.
I ate twice at Torre which is just out of Piazza del Campo, the right side entrance looking down at the low side or "home plate", I think il campo looks like a baseball stadium. Torre is small and has a mix of local / tourist. I felt welcomed by the owner and his daughter the waitress. His son was hung over and kind of did the minimum, on a different day I'm sure he would be better. There is a menu then the specialty of the day which is different each day. I had venison ragu pasta, vegetable mix pasta. Then I ate at a few grocery stores (best and cheapest sandwiches) and little to go only places. Italians are not the best marketers, no business cards, no take home menus, sometimes no name on the restaurant. Many places only had receipts on which the names were gone when I got home. You should keep a diary of sorts.
