Siena’s restaurants more suitable for large groups
Posted on 31. Aug, 2017 by admin in Archive, Food & Wine
Sometimes, when you are on vacation in a place you don’t know, you need to find a restaurant that is suitable for special occasions, or can accommodate a large group of friends, a family with many children or a group of people who want to celebrate something together.
In Siena there are a lot of restaurants and inns that we usually recommend in articles like The best restaurants in Siena where to taste typical dishes, however, it may be difficult to find a seat for 5 people or more, especially in the historic center, where restaurants usually have few tables.
So on this occasion we suggest you the most suitable restaurants for large groups or families, where you can eat the most famous Sienese specialties, perhaps matched with a top wine.
Ristorante Da Michele
Since 1995 this restaurant, located in Strada Massetana 64, is led by chef Michele Vitale, which boasts numerous international collaborations and a remarkable experience as a sommelier, which blends well with its vocation for Tuscan cuisine and seafood specialties, its meaty bit.
Da Michele is a restaurant that offers tasting menus, delicious meat dishes, a selection of fish dishes, appetizers and pizzas.
The interior room has 160 seats, so it is also a venue suitable for parties, anniversaries and events. The restaurant staff also provides catering services.

At this restaurant you can taste Tuscan cuisine and it’s possible to book in advance for groups, requesting which kind of specialties you prefer; in this way you won’t have any surprises and you can spend a pleasant evening in a somewhat original venue.
Among the dishes you can savor there are the pici, the Florentine steak, Cinta Senese cured meats and the Chianina based meat dishes.
