Ristorante All'Orto de' Pecci

Siena


Serving fruit and vegetables grown in the surrounding cooperative organic farm, this rustic eatery is an excellent spot for lunch – when soup and pasta are popular choices – or for a pizza on weeknights or all day on weekends. All profits go to supporting Cooperativa La Proposta, which works to support and rehabilitate people suffering social, intellectual or physical disadvantage.
