If you are a fan of Sienese or Tuscan cuisine, or just someone with an appetite for adventure, get off at the Piazza del Campo and you'll find Osteria le Logge. The ambiance is casual with a slight touch of modishness. The sea fare is what you will not only drool over but come back for more. During summer, eating out under the sun is encouraged with musicians for company. Logge it is then?
This famed pastry shop is located close to the Piazza del Campo and on Siena's prime shopping strip of the Banchi di Sopra. Come in to enjoy some of the best ricciarelli (a cookie made from almond paste and covered with either powdered sugar or dark chocolate), panforte (an Italian type of fruitcake), sandwiches, and their full range of coffees, cookies and more sealed and ready for your flight. The bar serves all the pastries in the case as well as a plethora of coffee and drinks at very reasonable prices, especially if you stand and eat at the bar. Rub shoulders with locals and tourists alike at this typical Sienese bar and bake shop.
If you like Brunello wine you will have difficulty leaving this place. Every time you come back you like it more, and it is well deserving of many visits. The furnishings are modern, but welcoming. The cooking is creative while still staying true to the traditions of Siena's gastronomic culture. Try, for example, the pheasant ravioli with sheep cheese fondue. The quality of the wines reflects the knowledge of the owners. The house wine is superb and the list is heavy with local vintages, but there are also wines from "rival" districts.
