Authentic Sienese flavors in the heart of the city
History and tradition
La Locanda dei Tintori Siena is an authentic corner of culinary genuineness located in the heart of the city. The restaurant’s name pays homage to the area in which it is located, once bustling with the famous fabric and leather dyers who, through their craft, contributed to the economic development of the city.
Among the illustrious Sienese dyers and members of this ancient guild, the name of Jacopo Benincasa stands out, father of Saint Catherine of Siena, Patron Saint of the city and of Italy. The Sanctuary of Saint Catherine is just a short walk from the Locanda.
The restaurant celebrates its connection to the territory and is committed to preserving the traditions that have always shaped the social and productive life of the streets and alleys in this wonderful part of the city.
The Cuisine
Each dish, carefully and professionally prepared by the brigade expertly led by Chef Giorgio, pays homage to traditional Sienese cuisine. The menu combines authentic flavors with fresh local ingredients and a reinterpretation of recipes from the past.
Each course tells a story, celebrating the taste and connection to Siena and Tuscany with a touch of creativity. The gastronomic experience is a journey that renews culinary traditions, offering moments of pure joy even to the most discerning palates. Exquisite porcini mushrooms, always fresh truffle, and Val di Chiana garlic await you with their authentic flavors! Thanks to the chef’s great passion for the sea, you will occasionally be able to enjoy off-menu seafood specials.
To end your dinner, indulge in a treat with the delicious desserts prepared daily by Chef Giorgio, and the legendary tiramisu, personally made by Andrea.
The Wine Cellar
The inn’s wine cellar features a selection of the finest local labels and the most renowned national wineries.
Each bottle is carefully chosen by Andrea to offer you a wine experience perfectly paired with the dishes you select.
The constant search for new and unique products ensures that the inn’s wine cellar remains up to date, maintaining a strong connection to the local territory and tradition, while also keeping an eye on new trends in the national wine scene.
