Trip Report Rome, Santa Marinella. Buonconvento (Siena - ish)

Next day, up early for a trip to Siena. I get a kick out of driving in these tiny streets. I would say we did a few of the major sites and some people had time for shopping before lunch.



Our driver, Roberto, recommended a restaurant for lunch and the cynical side of me quickly took over and I thought I was being taken for a ride. Turned out to be a fantastic meal. I had picci with a pork ragu, the picci were cooked in red wine. Definitely voted the winner at the table.

Roberto ended up joining us for a coffee after the meal and the owner was gracious enough to knock a bunch of euro off the bill. Thanks Massimo!
Osteria Cice is the place. The website is lacking but Google has a bunch of good pics to make up for me slacking.

Siena is fantastic and I look forward to returning someday. A lot of the younger ones voted it their favorite stop.
