Getting around

MORE TO SEE: SIENA For best Cheese and wine of Siena and best RICCIARELLI: ANTICA PIZZICHERIA DI SIENA – PALAZZO DELLA CHIGIANA It is in Via di Citta 95. It is more expensive than the others but the quality is at a very high level. It is the priceless experience. Ask for the local red wine! I’m a sommelier and i can say that is the best house wine of the city!!! Don’t miss a taste of Pietrafitta from san Gimignano wines. We recommend also the biscuits Ricciarelli (made only with natural ingredients) and cheese to take home! ORVIETO - PIENZA - MONTEPULCIANO - MONTALCINO - ASSISI - GUBBIO AND MANY OTHERS
