Tuscany is well-known for its fine wines, beef, and cheeses. If you want an authentic Tuscan experience, this restaurant can give it all to you. They also serve dishes suitable for vegetarians, such as the classic dish Ribollita and Pappa al Pomodoro. Mangia's restaurant menu ranges from the great Tuscan classics to modern dishes. All are made with local, natural, organic ingredients. Every day, their chef prepares gnocchi, pici, and fresh ravioli. Usually served with wild boar or truffle sauce. They also serve dishes suitable for children, vegans, diabetics, and celiacs.

Each morning, they serve homemade breakfast. Warm pastries, muffins, jam, and cheeses. Dinner is served from 7 pm to 9:30 pm in the main room, but you can book your table on their terrace during summer.

Absolutely! This is a one-of-a-kind experience. Everything went smoothly, from check-in at 200 pm to check-out at 1200 pm. If you want to take a final walk, you can leave your luggage at the reception area at no cost. To me, that is a part of the hospitality of the staff. I made a direct booking, so I got free parking which is not common in other hotels. The Athena Hotel rates are reasonable, and you can view them on their website. The food is also great, especially when surrounded by a beautiful view. I enjoyed my stay, and the next time I return to Siena, I will pick the same hotel.
