One of my favorite spots was Trattoria Papei! It was packed with locals at lunchtime, which is always a good sign, including several little old men who chatted from table to table through their meals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The menu was packed with classic Tuscan dishes at reasonable prices, and it also sits only a block from the piazza, making it the perfect midday break from exploring. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm sharing more of my favorite Siena restaurants on the blog this week, so use the link in bio to check them out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @anticatrattoriapapei #lovetuscany #igerstoscana #igersitalia #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #ilikeitaly #mytuscany #igerstoscana #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #discovertuscany #loves_united_toscana #madeintuscany #toscana_amoremio #aroundsiena #siena #italiait #italia_landscapes #visitItaly🇮🇹 #italytourism #lifeinItaly #travelerinItaly #labellavita #italiaturismo #loves_italy #destination_italy #exploreItaly #italymagazine ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @igerstoscana @volgotoscana@regionetoscana
All smiles because we ate dinner AT AN ACTUAL REST All smiles because we ate dinner AT AN ACTUAL RESTAURANT! . Slowly, Italy is lifting some restrictions. I didn’t think I’d feel this elated from it, but I’m walking on air. We ate food someone else prepared that we didn’t take home in a box!! . Doing “everyday” things feels special right now.

One of my favorites was Antica Osteria da Divo - it's the kind of place you want to spend a four-hour, multicourse dinner with great wine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bonus points because the staff DIDN'T EVEN BLINK when we brought our massive dog in. They graciously seated us in a corner where we could tuck in behind me, and the other guests didn't even know he was there until we stood to leave!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @antica_osteria_da_divo #lovetuscany #igerstoscana #igersitalia #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #ilikeitaly #mytuscany #igerstoscana #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #discovertuscany #loves_united_toscana #madeintuscany #toscana_amoremio #aroundsiena #siena #italiait #italia_landscapes #visitItaly🇮🇹 #italytourism #lifeinItaly #travelerinItaly #labellavita #italiaturismo #loves_italy #destination_italy #exploreItaly #italymagazine ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @igerstoscana @volgotoscana@regionetoscana

One unique Siena tradition is Il Palio, a horse ra One unique Siena tradition is Il Palio, a horse race around the piazza. It happens twice a year is a HUGE deal to locals, because they're racing for their contrada (neighborhood). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Okay, horse race, sounds fun. But here's what you probably don't know about Il Palio: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏇 The track isn't traditionally shaped. It looks like a capital D, with two shart corners that horses and their rides have to cover at breakneck speeds. Jockeys often end up thrown off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏇 The track isn't flat. The piazza slants down to a central point in front of the Palazzo Pubblica (what's behind us in the picture). So horses have to contend with that. Over cobblestones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏇 The winner is whichever horse finishes first, with or without a jockey! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether you're into horseraces or not, Siena is a great spot to visit! I'm sharing more of the best parts of Siena on Teaspoon of Nose this week, so use the link in bio to check it out!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lovetuscany #igerstoscana #igersitalia #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #ilikeitaly #mytuscany #igerstoscana #toscana #tuscany #instatuscany #discovertuscany #loves_united_toscana #madeintuscany #toscana_amoremio #aroundsiena #siena #italiait #italia_landscapes #visitItaly🇮🇹 #italytourism #lifeinItaly #travelerinItaly #labellavita #italiaturismo #loves_italy #destination_italy #exploreItaly #italymagazine ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @igerstoscana @volgotoscana@regionetoscana
Unpopular opinion alert: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unpopular opinion alert: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Siena's Duomo may be my favorite cathedral in Italy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe second favorite, because St. Peter's basilica is unbelievable, but that's technically in Vatican City. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hear me out: it has so much of the epic beauty we associate with these amazing churches. But something about the stripes, both inside and out, brings a whole new level of beauty to the place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Best of all, the Duomo is famous for its intricate mosaic floors, depicting stories from the Bible and Siena's history. It's only uncovered for 7 weeks of the year, so plan your trip around seeing them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've shared all the details of why the Siena Duomo is the best on Teaspoon of Nose today!
