The Restaurant at Grand Hotel Continental Siena - Starhotels Collezione

"Opened in 2002, the impeccably restored building—originally a Renaissance palazzo—includes a chic wine bar with eye-catching armchairs in a bright glassed-in courtyard on the ground floor, next door to which is a more traditionally elegant restaurant in a couple of Belle Époque dining rooms"

"Inside this airy space is Sapordivino, the hotel’s wine bar and restaurant, offering classic Tuscan cuisine such as ribollita, a traditional bean soup, and house-made pici pasta—best paired with a bottle of the region’s Tenuta San Guido"

"Apart from a wine cellar bar and a fine-dining restaurant serving gourmet Tuscan cuisine, there are few other common spaces or facilities (there's no fitness center, pool, or spa), although the grand ballroom would be a memorable place for events"

"A glass-domed courtyard, dominated by a gleaming clock face salvaged from an English bell tower, houses SaporDivino, an upscale restaurant where well-groomed guests sip shaken-not-stirred martinis and dine on Tuscan haute cuisine"

"The Sapordivino restaurant in the atrium provides regional dishes such as pappa al pomodoro and carrello dei bolliti, buttressed by an impressive wine list"
