Best food in Siena. Eat in a hidden garden and support a great cause.

Responsible travel Siena = the best food in Siena at the restaurant and pizzeria L'Orto de' Pecci. Travel to a secret garden as we show you where to eat the best meal in Siena. Find both the best food in Siena and a responsible way to support a local cause. Inventive, amazing food AND a way to provide jobs and a second chance for people living with mental disabilities.

Walking distance from the Campo in a beautiful park on the grounds of a former psychiatric hospital. You'll escape the tourist hoards around the Duomo and the Campo of the Palio horse race and find an authentic local experience. You'll help a neighborhood to give work and pride to its most vulnerable citizens.

If you want a truly immersive experience come to this restaurant with a mission of giving work to individuals living with mental illness and addiction and re-entering society after incarceration. This is the ultimate in responsible travel.

Run by the non-profit La Proposta Cooperativa Sociale Onlus, the mission creates NO trade-offs for you as a visitor. The food is affordable AND amazing. The staff are super friendly. The chef changes the menu daily and uses organic and local ingredients that reflect the season and the bounty of their own Medieval garden. The employees tend the garden with care and grow vegetables and herbs that Siena’s people would have eaten in Medieval times when the city was founded.

The restaurant has seating in the park, on a patio under vines, in a shaded outdoor tent, and indoors. They are open all year.

How can you help this local cause? EAT HERE! The restaurant prefers customers to donations because the mission is about putting people to work in rewarding positions that give them hope and confidence. They need your patronage anytime, but especially in the winter months.

There is limited seating, so please make a reservation. Much of the staff speaks English.Tel. +39 (0)577 222201.

About Us
We’re Emre and Maia. Our videos feature local, authentic, and immersive experiences in Europe. We love to engage with people in their own language, while we spend a gap year being curious about everything! We’re passionate about travel and food and have been to 44 countries with five passports between us! Now we’re in Southern Europe — Italy, France, and Spain — where we dedicate a month to each stay. Longing for simplicity and freedom, we put our remaining possessions in storage, and set out with one suitcase and one carry-on each. Our slow travel mindset works whether you have a few days or a whole year.

We like to keep it real. We did not receive, nor do we ask for compensation from any of the enterprises mentioned in this video.
