Our story
A Sienese osteria in the alley behind Piazza del Campo
Since 2008
Tuscany on the table, no shortcuts
Il Vicolo opened in 2008 on Via del Porrione, one of the oldest streets in Siena, a short walk from Piazza del Campo and the Logge del Papa.
The idea was simple: an osteria where you eat the way people eat at home in Siena, at honest prices, right in the historic centre. Ever since, the kitchen has stayed true to Sienese and Tuscan tradition: ribollita, pappa al pomodoro, hand-rolled pici, pappardelle with wild boar, ossobuco alla senese and bistecca alla fiorentina.
Alongside the osteria, the pizzeria grew up, with a double-leavened dough and DOP ingredients from Campania. Two souls, one rule: whatever can be made in-house, we make in-house.
How we work
Three things we never compromise on
01
Everything homemade
Every morning we make fresh pasta, bread, pizza dough and desserts. No ready-made products.
02
Local produce
Tuscan cured meats and pecorino, selected meat, wines from Montalcino, Montepulciano and Chianti.
03
A family welcome
Children, groups, tourists and locals: at Il Vicolo everyone feels at home, twenty metres from Piazza del Campo and at fair prices.
