I love Toscana
Yeeeeee … I L♥ VE ITALIA !!!!
WoW Italy is Awesome love it 😎😀
Happy..You Live The Life..Thanks Foreverything💞
Nice trip
I felt so at home in Sienna. Next time, try my favorite pizza at that very same restaurant…pizza boscaiola. It's like nothing else!!
This is making me homesick for the time I lived there. Sigh. I miss the food.
I agree with what he said but the salami and dessert shops featured are not examples of what can be found on the back streets. That salami shop is on the main high priced shopping street that has entrances to il Campo. That dessert shop is on a street full of dessert shops & restaurants, very crowded street. Don't know about the restaurant featured, give him the benefit of the doubt, let's say it is on a back street. But, do as he says, not as he did, there are many great places to see and foods to try that are really on the back streets of Siena.
Cool places.
I love Rick, but how many of us will really get to go into the wine cellar if we go there?
living the goddanm dream Rick
It's a rough life you're living, Rick Steves. 😉
Italian food is best in the world.
You might want to mention the name of the restaurant or put it in the show notes like other popular vloggers "Samuel and Audrey" do. That's because Google Maps now allows the uploading of cell phone images even while on location. Sometimes there are hundreds of photos which usually also include pictures of most of the dishes offered too. Many include prices as well. In Google Maps, the further one zooms in, more icon locations appear. One can even start their own location and/or leave a rating for one already there. And many times Google Earth's "Street View" 360 globals are included too. Most places are already there all around the world including China and Russia. There are literally millions of photos already posted even for small "mom and pop" shops.
I will be visiting La Taverna Di San Giuseppe for some of that amazing looking pasta & bruschetta next week!
I never, EVER, had a bad meal in Siena. Everything is so fresh and prepared with love.
My 4th year in Siena
