Reviews on Southern-Italian food in Siena, Province of Siena, Italy. This Tuscan hill town will transport you back to the Middle Ages. Siena's grand cathedral, built in the 1200s, has treasured artworks and marvelous marble floors. The Piazza del Campo, the main town square, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's also home to the Palio, perhaps the most infamous horserace in the world. No goofy hats and mint juleps here—this is a medieval tradition involving bareback riders racing on cobblestones (so as you might imagine, it's quite dangerous). Siena is an easy daytrip by train from Florence, just 43 miles away.

Hands down the best pizza we've ever had by a long shot. Seems like non- locals have a bit of trouble with the ordering process, some not realising they're delivery only. We managed to order a vege pizza and friareili and sausage pizza in broken Italian with help from Google translate (it wasn't too much trouble as the guy's English was miles better than our pathetic Italian). We devoured both sitting on our hotel bed and thought we'd gone straight to heaven. The distinctive flavour of the friareili and sourdough-like texture of the base was just sublime. On our last night in Siena we called again to place another order but this time unfortunately were advised they were busy until 10pm! Their service is definitely inconsistent but it's worth the effort if you can get to try it. It literally redefined the meaning of pizza for us.

Mugolone Restaurant is positioned along the Via dei Pellegrini street front, the obligatory and highly central route between Piazza del Campo and Piazza del Duomo, practically equidistant and just a few meters from both the "Mossa", starting point of the
We came for lunch to this wonderful and modern restaurant with stylish interior. All service personnel was very friendly and helpful. Food came quickly, was freshly prepared and tasted excellent - what a difference to all the other standard tourist places in Siena. Is this a helpful review?

Neapolitan bar, restaurant and pizzeria also gluten-free
The gluten free pizza in this restaurant is the best one we ever tasted (two celiacs that already tried a lot of pizza's in Italy)! There are a lot of options and they make the pizza's themselves in a totally clean kitchen. The staff is really kind and I would definitely return to this restaurant!! It is close to the fortezza which is a nice place to visit in Siena.
