The premier authority on eating in Northern Italy (many travelers won't go anywhere that she doesn't recommend) says that Le Logge is THE place to dine in SIENA (I believe tha's it; I'm going on memory here, but please check back again tomorrow and I'll confirm that this is indeed it) <BR>Le Logge, Via del Porrione, 31 33 35 - Siena<BR>Tel. 0577/48013 <BR>Fax. 0577/224797<BR>[email protected] (Again, I'm not positive this is it; check back tomorrow and I'll verify.) <BR><BR>Also, there was a post on another travel website saying that their &quot;best meal in all of Italy&quot; was at Guido's in Siena.

TuscanTraveler, all your posts seem to be promoting some business enterprise in Tuscany. Methinks yours are commercial motives!

Who is the &quot;premier authority on eating in NOrthern Italy&quot;?

Elaine, I thought you were! By the way, I have attempted to e-mail you several times to obtain your files on Rome, Florence and Venice, with no reply. In case you read this and are willing to reply, kindly e-mail me at [email protected]. Mille grazie!

Why would Mina care.. I dont think she's returning to Italy, last I saw she's headed to Slovenia or Croatia...

Hi RAR...<BR><BR>Italy is a beautiful country...I've kind of gotten &quot;stuck&quot; here. Am in Siena now, head for Lucca tomorrow. Will get to Slovenia at some point! <BR><BR>BTW, I am thinking about your suggestion to Bologna too!<BR><BR>Thanks for the recommendation Tuscan Traveler.

Hahah that is hilarious. I'm heading to Siena tomorrow actually

Mina,<BR>Post when you get to Slovenia. We are moving there in about 3 weeks...there are some very good restaurants!<BR>Cheers,<BR>Jan

Howard R, I have no commercial interests or ties whatsover. I'm just someone very thrilled about my upcoming trip in April who has, therefore, researched exhaustively. Here are my sources: My first Siena restaurant recommendation came from (1) Faith Heller Willinger's THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO DINING IN NORTHERN ITALY, a book very highly recommended to me by many, many people. My second restaurant recommendation, as I indicated in the original post, is a testimonial from someone who posted in on Rick Steves' travel website. These were recommendations across which I came in the course of doing research for my own trip.
