This is Siena, an ancient Tuscan town which has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has a ton of amazing things to offer… One of which being DELICIOUS ITALIAN STREET FOOD!
For breakfast, we went deep into Siena’s historical centre to Gino Cacino di Angelo for their famous paninis. We ordered their eggplant specialty panino, and their porchetta panino. It was a perfect breakfast! You can also order amazing charcuterie boards and a wide variety of Italian wines. After a little sightseeing around the medieval squares, we stopped at a local caffe for a double espresso (doppio espresso). For lunch, we went to a super local “hole-in-the-wall” restaurant called Osteria Il Grattacielo dal 1840. For lunch here, there is no menu and you order either the “cold” lunch (Tuscan cured meats & cheeses) or the “hot” lunch (pasta). We both opted for the hot lunch, and had two different kinds of tagliatelle – one with pesto and the other with pomodoro and cheese. We washed it all down with the house wine, which was the best wine we had in all of Italy. For dessert we tried a unique treat called Cantucci e Vin Santo. The cantucci is essentially biscotti and Vin Santo is a strong, sweet wine. They pair by dipping the cantucci into the vin santo, which was surprisingly good!
Since it was our last day in Italy, we popped into a traditional wine shop called Cantina in Piazza and picked out several bottles of Tuscany and Italian wines to bring home. After a short break, we drove outside the city of Siena to the countryside of Tuscany. There, we went to a restaurant that specializes in Bistecca alla Fiorentina. This massive chunk of steak is seared on high heat briefly and is served shortly after almost raw. You can choose different types of beef, whether you prefer bone in/out and how many KGs you would like. We also ordered their risotto, since we didn’t have the chance to try it in Milan.

Perché mettere musica napoletana che non rappresenta l' Italia sei in Toscana non a Napoli e senza farlo apposta sono di Siena
What do I have to say? Siena is my home, you' ll be always welcome. Really nice doc. 😀
I love your videos so much from Kaslo BC Canada 🙂
No masks ?
In the exact Place they were sitting in the osteria "Il Grattacielo", my good friend Marchino threw up a massive quantity of that poisonous wine after playing at 'Io non ho mai' and he was so drunk and he lost the f ucking game and got even more drunk ahahah
Then Guidone speared the poor Marchino on the snow pile. 16 years old those were the days
Tuscany has been destroyed by tourists. Not what it used to be.
Love this video!! What was your favorite dish you tried?
That diner looks incredible, beautiful scenery with delicious food is the perfect combo 😍
Buonappetito
⭐👍
Question – Europe which was struggling to just eat food till 18th Century, how come it became so wealthy so quickly in just 2 to 300 years.
Answer – Wealth of all kinds intellectual and fiscal looted from India..
haters gonna hate but thats the truth many choose to conveniently ignore or forget.
Pinot Neuro?
Hi Luke why you never shot in south América or latin America ???? We have a Lot of good good here(Argentina ,Brazil, Uruguay,Chile,peru ,Colômbia,México, costa rica , cuba ,etc)

Ma vi levate di ulo amerianacci!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the name of the second sandwich you had at Gino Cacino di Angelo? going there next week!
Sienna is SO gorgeous!! It’s like stepping back in time there🥰
I loved that there are NO billboards or advertising there. It’s so chill. I was only there a day and I wish I could’ve stayed a week💗
I live in Italy and I love it but the food is just overrated here. Everything is either some kinda pasta or pizza.
Welll … "scarpetta" is not much under galateo rules, but it is a good sign of the level of goodness of what you ate and also a much appreciate sign of gratitude for the chef and the host.
In italy we generally do not use much spices and sauces on our recipes. We lke the taste of our food to be from the freshness and the skills of the chef to preserve fresh natural taste of simple ingredients. That is also the reason why we do not mix much many different ingredients in one recipe. You will never find a bottle of any sauce on our tables, NEVER aside salt,pepper, olive oil and wine vinegar . If it is canned or bottled, if it has some kind of sauce or spiciness we start thinking it is not from fresh first quality good ingredients and also that the chef wants to cover some mistakes.
I am living in Tuscany for almost 15years at montalcino countryside with my family It's a undiscrible chalm life with nature genuine food (olive oil, wine ) just giving you sense of living

As someone whose two favorite things are food and Renaissance Era history I wanna go to Tuscany so bad🥺I’ve been to Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Milan, Venice, Genoa, and Verona but have never made it to Tuscany
Thank you guys. Love from Siena. What’s the name of the last restaurant you were in?
So many food vloggers remind me of mark weins lmao
I live near siena in chianti shire.
I'm very lucky

Very lovely couple 🥰
Biscotti orange blossom flavour, the second sandwich looked great.
That steak will not be on my "Must try" 🤢 but the sandwiches will!
Italian beef is not like we get in US unless you buy the cheap meat on sale days.
Did Luke and Sabrina break up? Haven't seen her in recent episodes.
Great video I'm going to Tuscany right now 😀
@12:21 Toto, I think we may be back in KS
Was the steak dinner $90 for the two of you? If so, what a deal!
Ciao!🇮🇹io son italiana e vivo vicino firenze,a Pistoia,altra cittadina medievale in Toscana….grazie di esaltare la ns cultura però ti prego nn mettere la musica di sottofondo con i mandolini….😂e' una musica che nn ci appartiene più ,di tempi andati!🇮🇹🙋ciao e buon appetito!!
I have just recently found your videos! I know, where have I been???? Just want to tell you that I enjoy your travels, and I would also like to say that Sabrina is HOTTTTTTTT! That is all.
Damn i miss fiorentina so bad btw dude in Tuscany you need to try tagliatelle with the sauce of the boar that is an amazing dish one of the best in Tuscany
Misconception… 1 cup of American coffee has 5 times the caffeine of 1 espresso
Leute die ihren Hot dog nur mit Brot, Wurst und Ketchup fressen kann man doch nicht wirklich ernst nehmen in Sachen Kulinarik?! Die glauben auch, nur weil deren Häuser aus Plastik bestehen sind die die Nummer 1. Ekelhaft solche Menschen. Und ja damit meine ich alle Amis.
Missing my fellow Canadian Sabrina, that paired with you made sharp but familiar commentary. Luke bring her back buddy, of your greatest losses and regrets of a life time…
Italy is a wonderland for everything…sea, mountains, arts, everything.
But the food is something impossible to show. You must taste.
From the north to the sicily you can have an amazing trip about taste, really different from region to region.
And the different types of wine…love it!!
I'm italian (but my father came from France) and i love cooking too.
You have to try Umbria. Simply delicious
that isnt a T bone…. i dont see the tender lion there.. and its RAW……… need a few more minutes.
in realtà il vin santo con i cantucci, sono ideali come una fase di relax nel pomeriggio. Nel senso che se associati a un pranzo non hanno un significato. Nel tardo pomeriggio invece un vin santo e qualche cantuccio possono creare una pausa per rilassare e conversare.
In alcuni paesi della toscana esistono locali che hanno questo obiettivo e offrono solo vin santo, cantucci e relax………………………
Everything looks delicious. You both are funny. We love wine too🍷😁
kind of misleading when he says 1,5 kg of meat , with the bone sure but without the bone its more like 700 grams of meat . still a lot but 1,5 kgs it aint .. how the heck can you call yourself a foodie and you are an adult and have never tried risotto ???? weird
