The Trattoria

A family trattoria in the heart of Siena

Simple, fresh ingredients and a touch of originality: that is the recipe behind the dishes served in the little trattoria La Tellina.

The cooking is inspired by the flavours and colours of the Mediterranean tradition: you can choose between meat and fish dishes and round off with desserts that are exclusively homemade.

La Tellina has been in Siena since 1984. It is a small family-run business, from the kitchen to the dining room. Upon entering you will find an intimate atmosphere and a small but cosy space where you will feel at home.

The trattoria is located in Via delle Terme, in the historic centre of Siena, very close to all the main attractions including Piazza del Campo, the Cathedral, the House of St Catherine and the Accademia dei Rozzi, and it is easily reached from all the car parks outside the walls.
