eating out in the chianti region
Dear all <BR> <BR>We'll be spending a week driving around Tuscany in September/October and will be staying near Radda in Chianti. <BR> <BR>I'm interested in anyone's suggestions for good food in the Chianti area ( not so worried about finding good wine!!). The travle guide books don't devote much space to this region and my internet searches haven't led to much. <BR> <BR>All suggestions welcome. <BR> <BR>Thanks <BR>Tina

Tina, <BR>A wonderful view and food is Lamole!!! Take a very steep drive north of Radda look for the Lamole sign past Villa Vignamaggio --- the staff is so great, the view is incomparable and the food is delicious!!! We also enjoyed Cane e Gatto in Siena --which is a dining experience of 5 hours but worth it! <BR> <BR>Ciao <BR>Mary

We ate in a very good restaurant right in Radda, on the main road that goes through the town. It's on the left hand side if you are headed east. I'm sorry, I forget the name, but it's on the second floor and is associated with a vineyard. I think it starts with Locanda, but not positive. There are also a few good restaurants in Castellina in Chianti, down the road from RAdda.
