21. Il Grottino
$ | |It's small, but the very cheery staff is only too happy to provide you with wonderful plates of typical Tuscan food. The kitchen stays open a little bit later than most, which makes this a perfect stop after seeing some of the amazing art that Arezzo has to offer. Reservations are a necessity if you are attending the monthly antiques fair.
Via della Madonna del Prato 1, Arezzo, Tuscany, 52100, Italy0575-302537Known For
- Their soups
- Surprisingly well-composed mixed salads
- Inventive desserts
-
22. La Prosciutteria
$ | |The very unassuming decor (wooden tables, wooden chairs) sets the scene for terrific Tuscan food. Though there's not a truffle dish to be found on the menu, there's lots to satisfy the palate. The tasty food arrives in nicely sized portions; excellent house wine is on offer, as are other wines by the bottle, which are all nicely priced; and desserts are pretty good here.
Via Ser Ridolfo 8, San Miniato, Tuscany, 56028, ItalyKnown For
- Adherence to Tuscan classics
- Lampredotto (tripe) with salsa verde and hot sauce
- Apple crostata (tart)

23. La Torre
$ | |You can enjoy straightforward Tuscan fare in the massive tower at the abbey's entrance, or, when it's warm, on a flower-filled terrace. The pici ai funghi (extra-thick handmade spaghetti with mushroom sauce) or zuppa di funghi (mushroom soup) take the sting out of a crisp winter day, and the grilled meats are a good bet at any time of year. If you want lighter fare, there's a bar serving panini that has outdoor seating.

- Flavorful home cooking
- Pici all'aglione (a local specialty)

24. La Torre di Gnicche
$ | |Wine lovers shouldn't miss this wine bar/eatery, which is just off Piazza Grande and has more than 700 labels on its list. Seasonal traditional dishes, such as acquacotta del casentino (porcini mushroom soup) or baccalà in umido (salt-cod stew), are served in the simply decorated, vaulted dining room. You can accompany your meal with one, or more, of the almost 30 wines that are available by the glass. Limited outdoor seating is available in warm weather.
Piaggia San Martino 8, Arezzo, Tuscany, 52100, Italy0575-352035Known For

- An ever-changing menu
- Rustic setting

25. La Vecchia Cucina di Soldano
$ | |This place could be mistaken for a grandmother's kitchen—it's completely unpretentious, with red-and-white-checked tablecloths and a waitstaff who treat you like an old friend. The restaurant teems with locals who appreciate the rock-bottom prices for well-prepared Tuscan specialties that include a superb tagliolini sui fagioli (thin noodles with beans).

26. Osteria Castelvecchio
$ | Città |On the daily menu you're likely to find both Sienese standards, such as spaghetti saporiti con agli aromi (with tomatoes and herbs), as well as more offbeat selections like bocconcini di pollo alla mediterranea (tender chicken cooked in a robust tomato-and-olive sauce). Husband-and-wife team Simone Romi and Sabrina Fabi are committed to including piatti di verdura (vegetarian dishes) among the choices, and they've put together a great wine list. A tasting menu allows you to sample just about all the daily specials. The little restaurant with high vaulted ceilings is in the oldest part of town.
Via Castelvecchio 65, Siena, Tuscany, 53100, Italy0577-49586Known For
- Tasting menu
- Historic setting
- Excellent wine list
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Tues., Credit cards accepted -
27. Osteria del Carcere
$ | |Although it calls itself an osteria (tavern), this place much more resembles a wine bar, with a bill of fare that includes several different types of pâtés and a short list of seasonal soups and salads. The sampler of goat cheeses, which can be paired with local wines, should not be missed. Operatic arias tend to play softly in the background, and service is courteous.
Via del Castello 13, San Gimignano, Tuscany, 53037, Italy0577-941905Known For
- Excellent chef-proprietor
- Inventive dishes
- Housed in a former jail
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed early Jan.–Mar. No lunch Thurs. -
28. Osteria Il Grattacielo
$ | Camollìa |If you're wiped out from too much sightseeing, consider a meal at this hole-in-the-wall restaurant where locals congregate for a simple lunch over a glass of wine. There's a collection of verdure sott'olio, a wide selection of affettati misti, and various types of frittatas—all of which can be washed down with the cheap, yet eminently drinkable, house wines. A few tables provide outdoor seating in summer. Don't be put off by the absence of a written menu. All the food is displayed at the counter, so you can point if you need to.
Via Pontani 8, Siena, Tuscany, 53100, Italy331-7422835Known For
- Simple, good-value food
- Earthy ambience
- Usually filled with local men arguing about the Palio
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Reservations not accepted, Closed Sun. -
29. Osteria Le Panzanelle
$ | |Silvia Bonechi's experience in the kitchen—with the help of a few precious recipes handed down from her grandmother—is one of the reasons for the success of this small restaurant in the tiny hamlet of Lucarelli; the other is the front-room hospitality of Nada Michelassi. These two panzanelle (women from Panzano) serve a short menu of tasty and authentic dishes at what the locals refer to as il prezzo giusto (the right price).
Località Lucarelli 29, Radda in Chianti, Tuscany, 53017, Italy0577-733511Known For
- Fine home cooking
- Good wine list
- Unpretentious atmosphere

Rate Includes: Closed Mon. and Jan. and Feb. -
30. Prètto
$ | Città |This one-room prosciutteria, which opens late in the morning and closes late at night, serves salads and sandwiches featuring pork products in their various incarnations. The wine list is particularly strong with bottles from the area, and its prices are reasonable. Locals flock here for good reason: portions are not small, and the hosts are gregarious. For those who don't eat meat, but do eat fish, the anchovy/sliced potato salad soaked in top-notch olive oil and dotted with capers, is a winner.
Via dei Termini 4, Siena, Tuscany, 53100, Italy0577-289089Known For
- Lampredotto
- Porchetta
- Desserts

Rate Includes: Reservations essential. -
31. Schiacciavineria
$ | |Panini are the order of the day here, and they come with historic names (bearing no relation to what's actually contained between those two pieces of bread). Cured Italian pork products figure heavily, but there are vegetarian and pescatarian options, too. As evidenced by the caramello burro saltato con mascarpone (caramelized butter with a soft, spreadable, cow's milk cheese), dessert might also be served on the restaurant's tasty bread.
Via Paladini 2, Empoli, Tuscany, ItalyKnown For
- Tasty sandwiches (including dessert options)
- Great list of wines by the glass
- Outdoor seating in a lively piazza
-
32. Taverna dei Barbi
$ | |This rustic taverna with a large stone fireplace is amid vineyards that produce excellent Brunello—as well as its younger cousin, Rosso di Montalcino—a few minutes south of Montalcino, in the direction of Sant'Antimo. The estate farm produces many of the ingredients used in soup, gnocchi, bruschetta, and other traditional specialties.
Podere Podernuovo 170, Montalcino, Tuscany, 53024, Italy0577-847143Known For
- Heavenly aromas coming from grilled meat on a spit
- Fantastic wines
- Superb staff

Rate Includes: Reservations essential -
33. Trattoria da Ubaldo
$ | |The macabre decor is not for the faint of heart, but any lover of seriously good food can look beyond the disembodied dolls (among other things) adorning the dining room's walls. The menu is strong on local dishes, served in generous portions. If you're lucky, Ubaldo himself will be on the scene.
Via dell'Anfiteatro 67, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy347-500–4848Known For
- Grilled meats
- Copious portions of pasta
- Fine, well-priced wine list
-
34. Trattoria Papei
$ | Città |The menu hasn't changed for years, and why should it? This place, which has been in the Papei family for three generations, attracts both locals and visitors with basic but fine Sienese specialties and reasonable prices. Tucked away behind the Palazzo Pubblico in a square that serves as a parking lot for most of the day, the restaurant's location isn't great, but the food is. Thanks to portable heaters, there is outdoor seating all year-round.
Piazza del Mercato 6, Siena, Tuscany, 53100, Italy0577-280894Known For
- Great place to sample local specialties
- Lively atmosphere
- Outdoor seating
