The True Sienese Kitchen. Under New Management since 17/04/2025.
Book a table and let yourself be told a story Siena... in our own way.
We are just outside the walls of Siena, on the old road to Chianti.
A road that smells of the countryside, of hills, of tradition.
Here we reopened Botteganova with the desire to carry on authentic cuisine — made the way it used to be, but with the care and attention it deserves today.
The name of our restaurant in Siena, Antica Trattoria Botteganova, already says a lot about us:
"Ancient" like the Sienese recipes we honor every day, "Nova" like the fresh touch added by those who live, study, and serve that cuisine today.
We use local ingredients, know our producers, and choose only local wineries.
Every dish that reaches the table has something to say.
The waiter tells you its story. The chef prepares it before your eyes.
The Chianina is there. The Cinta Senese too. The truffle, as well.
Tuscan dishes, ancient recipes, recognizable flavors.
We care about everyone’s needs without straying from our identity.
We offer gluten-free dishes and vegetarian options, designed to respect those with different needs, without ever betraying the soul of our cuisine. Because even Sienese cuisine, when made with care, knows how to welcome guests with taste and consistency.
Here, meals are enjoyed slowly. You listen to the story behind each dish, and sip a wine chosen with care.
Every dish is a story.
Every service, a ritual.
Every visit, a moment to take with you.
Our menu stems from the desire to make desire to bring back to life dishes that, here in Siena, are not just recipes — they are memories, seasons, family, and territory.
There are crostini, peposo, handmade pasta, and pecorino.
Chianina, Cinta Senese, and truffle.
Sunday dishes, peasant cuisine, dishes that speak of vineyards, woods, and changing seasons.
And then there are those that change with time, because our menu follows the rhythm of the seasons and the products of our land.
Ours is a menu of listened and savored slowly.
The waiter tells you the story, the dish completes it.
We’ve also thought of those with with specific dietary needs, offeringgluten-free dishes and vegetarian variationsalways in line with our idea of Sienese cuisine: welcoming and authentic.



Antica Trattoria Botteganova reached its peak under the guidance of Hector Silvestri, which, with its authentic cuisine rooted in Sienese tradition, has achieved a Michelin star.
Today we take up this legacy with respect and determination.
We carry forward his idea of cuisine: local ingredients, narrated dishes, ritualism, and a deep connection to the land.
We do not want to rewrite history, but to continue it — with the same love for the truth of Tuscan cuisine.
