21. 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.

22. La Vecchia Nicchia
$$ | |Though it's still very much in the center, it's far from the madding crowds. Wonderful wines pair beautifully with the tasty morsels served atop toasted bread. If you want something more substantial than the delicious cheese plate, soups of the day may be found on the menu. This place is an oasis in a town overrun with day visitors.
Via San Martino 12, San Gimignano, Tuscany, 53037, Italy0577-940803Known For
- Wines by the bottle
- Locally sourced ingredients
- Genial hosts

23. MagnoGaudio
$$ | |It bills itself as a caffetteria/ristorante, which means it opens at 7 in the morning for coffee, serves lunch and dinner, and then closes well after dinner is over. Warm-color, sponged walls and simple wooden tables and chairs provide the backdrop for some tasty fare. They're particularly big on fish here; if it's available, order the calamari spadellati su crema di fagioli alla paprika e valeriana (panfried squid on a creamy bean puree spiced with paprika and garnished with delicate green leaves). The lasagna is ample, cheesy, and thoroughly satisfying; the service is great; and the wine list is strong on local wines.

- Fish dishes
- Satisfying lasagna
- Local wine list

24. Osteria dei Cavalieri
$$ | |This charming, white-walled restaurant, a few steps from Piazza dei Cavalieri, is reason enough to come to Pisa. They can do it all here—serve up exquisitely grilled fish dishes, please vegetarians, and prepare tagliata for meat lovers. Three set menus, from the sea, garden, and earth, are available, or you can order à la carte. For dinner there's an early seating (around 7:30) and a later one (around 9); opt for the later one if you want time to linger over your meal.
Via San Frediano 16, Pisa, Tuscany, 56126, Italy050-580858Known For
- Location in the centro storico
- Classic Tuscan dishes
- Catch-of-the-day fish tasting menu
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun., 2 wks in Aug., and Dec. 29–Jan. 7. No lunch Wed., Reservations essential -
25. 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

26. Pesce Baracca
$$ | |The first things you'll see upon entering this mercato e cucina (market and kitchen) are a row of dazzling, just-caught fish on ice and a display case with prepared foods to go. Select from a large array of crudi (including several raw oyster options) before opting for the fry (either mixed, anchovies, zucchini with squid, or fish croquettes) or the very tasty fish burger. Nice wines by the glass are on offer, as are bottles.
Viale Franceschi 2, Forte dei Marmi, Tuscany, 55042, Italy0584-1716337Known For
- The fine relationship of quality to price
- Seaside views
- Fine staff

Rate Includes: Reservations not accepted -
27. 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

28. Ristorante Gennarino
$$ | |Lovers of seafood fill this unpretentious trattoria, where the unremarkable decor (yellowed walls, fluorescent lights) can be taken as a testament to the singular focus here on high-quality cuisine. Start with the insalata di mare tiepida (seafood antipasti), and follow with the flavorful spaghetti all'ammiraglia (admiral-style, laden with mussels, baby clams, squid, and fresh tomatoes).
Via Santa Fortunata 11, Livorno, Tuscany, 57125, Italy0586-888093Known For
- Fish of the day
- Excellent wine list
- Fine waitstaff

Rate Includes: Closed Wed. and 15 days in June, Reservations essential -
29. Ristorante Pizzeria Il Mare
$$ | |Homemade pastas and fresh seafood are served here with a dash of style. The chef puts a creative spin on the classics, coming up with such delights as homemade vegetable gnocchi with scampi in a butter and saffron sauce. The semifreddi (think part gelato, part cake) are particularly good. Just a few steps from Rio Marina's scenic port, this is an easy stop on your way to or from the ferry.
Via del Pozzo 16, Rio Marina, Tuscany, 57038, Italy0565-962117Known For
- Well-prepared octopus
- Delicious pizzas
- Genial service

30. 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

31. Sergio Falaschi dal 1925
$$ | |It's a butcher shop in the front and, on weekends, a great lunch restaurant in the back. Since 1925, the place has been in the hands of the Falaschi family, who source locally and put four generations' worth of experience into turning out excellent food. Though the primi are fine, go for any meat course. This is, after all, a butcher shop.
Via Augusto Conti 18/20, San Miniato, Tuscany, Italy0571-43190Known For
- Pork products and pork dishes
- Beef fillet with a creamy, green-peppercorn sauce
- Sunny staff
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Restaurant closed weekdays; no dinner -
32. 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
