Osteria del Fico Book a table
Siena Hillside · Est. 1962

Dinner, the waythe hills remember it.

A family trattoria under one old fig tree. Five courses, whatever the garden gave us this morning — cooked slow, served warm, priced like a neighbour, not a destination.

Our table

The fig tree was here before the restaurant.

We built the dining room around it, and the menu around what grows within walking distance. Nonna Elia still checks the tomatoes at dawn; her grandson Marco still argues with her about the salt. The argument is older than the restaurant. So is the tree.

Nothing here travels far. The flour comes from the mill at the bottom of the hill, the pork from the farm across the valley, the wine from three rows of Sangiovese we can see from the kitchen window. When something runs out, it runs out — the menu changes, and nobody apologises for it.

The tasting menu
“Seven courses, one table, no choices to make — just trust the garden and the woman who has cooked it for sixty years.”

Every Friday and Saturday, one long table under the fig tree. The menu is whatever arrived that morning; the wine is whatever Marco opened that afternoon.

Good to know

On weekends, yes — the room holds 34 seats and the fig-tree table goes first. Weekday lunch is usually fine to walk in, but a call never hurts.

Half the board is vegetables first, not vegetables as an afterthought. Ribollita, panzanella, and the garden plates are vegetarian; tell us when you book and the kitchen will plan around you.

Children who like pasta are our favourite guests. We keep a small plate of buttered pappardelle ready for the under-eights — no menu needed.

Yes — the courtyard seats 40 in summer. Write to us two weeks ahead and Elia will build a menu around the season, not a price list.
