Enoteca I Terzi
€€
MODERN TUSCAN
Close to the Campo but off the well-beaten tourist trail, this classy, modern
enoteca
(wine
bar) is a favourite with sophisticated locals, who linger over working lunches,
aperitivi
(pre-dinner drinks accompanied by cocktail snacks) sessions and casual dinners featuring
top-notch
salumi
(cured meats), delicate handmade pasta, flavoursome risotto and succu-
lent grilled meats. The wine list is fantastic, and includes an excellent choice by the glass.
Go.

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