Established trattoria just outside the walls on the Chiantigiana road, known for refined Tuscan cooking, a serious wine list and a quieter setting than the Campo.
Antica Trattoria Botteganova stands on Strada Chiantigiana, the road that leaves Siena southeast toward the Chianti hills. It holds a strong guest rating on Tripadvisor and suits an occasion meal rather than a quick lunch. The cooking is Tuscan with a modern hand, and the wine list leans on nearby Chianti Classico and Brunello producers. Typical spend is €50-80 (~$57.5-92) per person. Reservations and hours questions can be answered by phone on +39 0577 574152.
