Head to Gelateria Grom to give yourself a cooling break from your sightseeing excursion. A quaint ice cream shop offering delectable flavors, this is one place that's sure to delight patrons of all ages. This location of the chain is quite popular because of its proximity to the city center, but the servers are efficient with their work inspite of the crowds pulling in. Offered in a cone or a cup, these authentic gelatos are creamy and rich thus a perfect respite on a hot day. From chocolate to salted caramel, pistachio and more, the flavors are aplenty and the prices are quite happy too.

La Costarella gelateria consists of a small windowed room that looks onto the square. If the weather allows, you can sit outside at one of their café tables. Wherever you sit, you can enjoy the sights of one of the most famous piazze in Italy (the Piazza del Campo) while you enjoy an ice cream or sip an aperitif. The menu is light - they only serve ice cream, snacks, sandwiches and fine Chianti.

Il Pomodorino is known to dish out the best pizzas in the city and is extremely popular with the locals and visiting tourists alike. Their dough rises for almost 72 hours before baking and this keeps the base of the pizza uncommonly light and gives it a unique taste. Their pizzas are topped with only the best ingredients and their sauces are handmade and to die for. The prices are very reasonable and the ambiance is welcoming and warm. This place is definitely a must visit when in the city.

The resident chefs at All'Orto de Pecci serve up a tantalizing array of Sienese dishes which are beautifully presented and served by the cheerful wait-staff. Set in what used to be a farmhouse, this traditional restaurant exudes an old-world charm that is present both in the patio area, as well as in the banquet room upstairs that can be hired for private parties. Winter time is especially romantic as you can sit in front of the crackling fireplace while sipping on home-made Italian red wine. Often theater troupes perform here much to the delight of diners.
