Bar Pasticcerie Nannini

Siena


Established in 1886, Nannini's good coffee and location near the Campo ensure that it remains a local favourite. It's a great place to sample Sienese treats including cantuccini (crunchy, almond-studded biscuits), cavallucci (chewy biscuits flavoured with aniseed and other spices), ricciarelli (chewy, sugar-dusted almond biscuits), panforte (dense spiced cake with almonds and candied fruit) and panpepato (panforte with the addition of pepper and hazlenuts).
