lunches,
aperitivi
sessions and casual dinners featuring top-notch
salumi

Pierino Fagnani ('Bagogoga'), one of Siena's most famous Palio
jockeys, swapped his saddle for an apron in 1973 and has been operating this much-loved
restaurant near the Casa Santuario di Santa Caterina ever since. Traditional Tuscan palate
pleasers feature on the menu, and are perhaps best appreciated in the four-course 'tipico'
(€35) or 'degustazione' (€50 with wine) menus.
