21. Ristorante Enoteca del Duca
$$ | |Although this restaurant is on a tiny side street and can be easy to miss, do try to find it, as it serves fantastic food, with dishes listed on the seasonal menu under "L'Innovazione" (Innovations, usually, on classics) or "La Tradizione" (Tradition). Adventurous eaters should try such flights of fancy bavarese di fegato, which comes adorned with pomegranate seeds and redefines chicken liver pâté. The Del Duca family plays an active role in what food is brought to their tables.
Via di Castello 2, Volterra, Tuscany, 56048, Italy0588-81510Known For
- Seasonal fare
- Well-culled wine list
- Superb staff

22. Ristoro di Lamole
$$ | |Up a winding road lined with olive trees and vineyards, this place is worth the effort it takes to find. The view from the outdoor terrace is divine, as is the simple, exquisitely prepared Tuscan cuisine—start with the bruschetta drizzled with olive oil or the sublime verdure sott'olio (marinated vegetables) before moving on to any of the fine secondi. The kitchen has a way with coniglio (rabbit); don't pass it up if it's on the menu.
Via di Lamole 6, Greve in Chianti, Tuscany, 50022, Italy055-8547050Known For
- Coniglio is a specialty
- Sweeping view from the terrace
- Your hosts Paolo and Filippo

23. Solociccia
$$$$ | |As at his other eateries, Dario Cecchini, Panzano's local merchant of meat, offers two set menus for lunch—one where beef products dominate every course and the other vegetarian. The musetto al limone e brodo vero (an interesting salame served with stunning beef broth) might kick off the proceedings. On the table is pinzimonio, a dish of raw sliced vegetables (carrot, fennel, onions) to be dipped into terrific olive oil and sprinkled with Dario's special house-made herbed salt.
Via XX Luglio 11, Panzano, Tuscany, 50022, Italy055-852020Known For
- Choice of two set menus
- Great service
- Party atmosphere

24. V. Beny
$$$ | |Apricot walls hung with etchings of Pisa make this small, single-room restaurant warmly romantic. Husband and wife Damiano and Sandra Lazzerini have been running the place for two decades, and it shows in their obvious enthusiasm while talking about the menu (fish is a focus) and daily specials, which often astound. The ripieno di polpa di pesce a pan grattato con salsa di seppie e pomodoro (fish-stuffed ravioli with tomato-octopus sauce) delights. Seasonal ingredients are key throughout the menu; Sandra works wonders with tartufi estivi (summer truffles), artichokes, and market fish of the day. Remember to save room for desserts as they are scrumptious.
Piazza Gambacorti 22, Pisa, Tuscany, 56125, Italy050-25067Known For
- Superb fish dishes
- Gracious service
- Terrific wine list
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and 2 wks in mid-Aug. No lunch Sat. -
25. Vineria di Piazza
$$ | |It's set in a lively, historic market square and frequented by locals. The menu adheres to Tuscan tradition, often including high-quality bistecca alla fiorentina, but also indulges in some flights of fantasy, as evidenced by a whimsical dessert that riffs on a liquid Livornese classic.
Piazza delle Vettovaglie 13, Pisa, Tuscany, Italy050-5207846Known For
- Inventive pasta dishes
- Baccalà (salt cod) served in inventive ways
- Charming, energetic staff

26. Albergaccio
$$$ | |The fact that the dining room can seat only about 35 guests makes a meal here an intimate experience, and the ever-changing menu mixes traditional and creative dishes. In late September and October, zuppa di funghi e castagne (mushroom and chestnut soup) is a treat; grilled meats and seafood are on offer throughout the year. There's also an excellent wine list. When the weather is warm, make sure you dine on the terrace.
Via Fiorentina 63, Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany, 53011, Italy0577-741042Known For

27. Badia a Coltibuono
$$ | |Outside the walls of Badia a Coltibuono is the abbey's pleasant restaurant, with seating on a terrace teeming with flowers or in soft-yellow rooms divided by ancient brick arches. The menu is schooled in Tuscan flavors, but has twists and flights of fantasy.

- Its use of seasonal ingredients

28. Bar Cantini
$ | |At lunch and dinner time, this social hub for San Miniatans turns into a full-blown trattoria serving up local specialties. You can't go wrong with any of the wonderful panini, which are made with bread baked on-site and which you can eat seated at a table with a splendid valley view.
Via Conti 1, San Miniato, Tuscany, 56028, Italy0571-43030Known For
- Lively, convivial atmosphere
- Good sandwiches at great prices
- The view
-
29. Bar dell'Orso
$ | |This spot just outside the walled town of Monteriggioni is the perfect stop on the way to Siena from Florence or vice versa. The bar serves excellent coffees and sweets, and the highly informal dining room serves up terrific local specialties. Sublime panini, which can be topped with sott'olii (vegetables preserved under olive oil), can be taken to go, or you can sit outside with a nice glass of wine while you eat.
Via Cassia Nord 23, Monteriggioni, Tuscany, 53035, Italy0577-305074Known For
- Top-quality pork products with which to stuff a sandwich
- Lovely wines by the glass
- Pici (a local pasta) served in all its guises
-
30. Bar Leonardo
$ | |It's a most unassuming bar a stone's throw away from a massive Medici villa up the hill, and you might be tempted to walk right past it. Besides serving the usual array of coffees, spritzes, panini, and wines by the glass, it turns out terrific pizzas.
Piazza Leonardo da Vinci 11, Vinci, Tuscany, 50059, ItalyKnown For
- Sumptuous pizzas
- Outdoor seating
- Kind staff
-
31. Blend

33. Bottega di Cacio
$ | |Lots of shaded outdoor seating makes this a pleasant place for lunch on a warm day. Pecorino cheese, spicy salami, and grilled vegetables sott'olio (preserved in olive oil) are served cafeteria-style. And, if you want something even spicier, the stuffed hot peppers are delicious. There is a good selection of wine, but the choice of desserts is limited and they don't serve coffee.

34. Caffe degli Artisti
$ | |If you need a break from sightseeing, stop here for a cappuccino, sandwiches at lunchtime, or the array of appetizers set out during the cocktail hour.

Via Nazionale 18, Cortona, Tuscany, 52044, Italy0575-601237Known For
- Outdoor dining
- People-watching
- Perfect for cocktail hour

35. Caffè dei Costanti
$ | |Outdoor seating on Arezzo's main pedestrian square and a tasty range of chef's salads (named after the servers) make this a very pleasant spot for a light lunch during a tour of town. If you're here in the early evening, the dei Costanti serves up an ample buffet of snacks to accompany predinner aperitifs. In continuous operation since 1886, it's the oldest café in Arezzo, with a charming old-world interior.

36. Ciuste
$ | |Come here for a finely crafted sandwich (they have 18 different varieties on the menu), or something more substantial like the crostone ai funghi (a very large portion of toasted bread topped with local, fragrant porcini mushrooms). Tiny local blueberries, in season, appear in numerous guises on the dessert menu. At après-ski time, the place positively hums as the pizza oven is fired up, and happy skiers seat themselves on furniture that looks as if an Alpine Fred Flintstone designed it.
Via dell'Uccellaria 22, Abetone, Tuscany, Italy0573-172–0114Known For
- Eating while breathing fine mountain air
- Fantastic sandwiches
- Youthful atmosphere

37. Da Badò
$ | |Family-run Da Badò—with Lucia in the kitchen and her sons, Giacomo and Michele, waiting tables—is the best place in town to eat traditional food elbow-to-elbow with locals. Lucia likes to concentrate on just a few dishes, so it won't take long to decide between the standards, all prepared with a sure hand. Consider the zuppa alla volterrana (a soup made with vegetables and bread), pappardelle alla lepre (wide fettuccine with rabbit sauce), or a stew of either rabbit or wild boar. A slice of homemade almond tart is a must.
Borgo San Lazzaro 9, Volterra, Tuscany, 56048, Italy0588-80402Known For
- Excellent traditional dishes
- Small menu
- Local favorite

38. Da Padellina
$ | |Locals don't flock to this restaurant on the outskirts of Strada in Chianti for the art on the walls, some of it questionable, most of it kitsch, but instead for the bistecca fiorentina. As big as a breadboard and served rare, one of these justly renowned steaks is enough to feed a family of four, with doggie bags willingly provided if required. First courses are typical, desserts are standard, but the wine list is a varied and extensive surprise. Outdoor seating on the upstairs terrace provides great views of the surrounding countryside.
Via Corso del Popolo 54, Greve in Chianti, Tuscany, 50027, Italy055-858388Known For
- Great grilled meats
- Unpretentious local choice
- Large, diverse wine list
Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Closed Thurs. -
39. Dan's Dumpling Lab
$ | |If you're tired of Tuscan food (it can happen), this place on a side street near the Duomo serves up typical Asian dumplings, as well as those that are completely Italian, such as manzo e porcini (beef with porcini mushrooms). The insalatina di trippa piccante (spicy tripe salad) pays homage to both Asian and Italian cuisine. A fine list of artisanal beers is on offer, as are nicely priced glasses of wine.
Via Castel Cellesi 3, Pistoia, Tuscany, 51100, Italy0573-178–3527Known For
- Wantons di maiale condito in salsa piccante (pork wantons in a spicy sauce)
