  • 1. Officina della Bistecca

    $$$$

    Local butcher and restaurateur, Dario Cecchini, has extended his empire of meat to include this space above his butcher's shop. In addition to two tasting menus—one heavily meat laden, the other with none—you'll find a homemade version of giardiniera sott'olio (pickled and preserved vegetables) that's second to none. All offerings are a nice change from the more standard options found at restaurants throughout Chianti. The bread on the table is exceptional (the product of much experimentation).

    Via XX Luglio 11, Panzano, Tuscany, 50022, Italy
    055-852020

    Known For

    • Convivial atmosphere
    • Performing waitstaff
    • Enormously popular, especially in summer
  • 2. 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.

  • 3. 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, Italy
    0571-43030

    Known For

    • Lively, convivial atmosphere
    • Good sandwiches at great prices
    • The view
  • 4. 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, Italy

    Known For

    • Sumptuous pizzas
    • Outdoor seating
    • Kind staff
  • 5. Gelateria Veneta

    $

    The outstanding gelato, sorbet, and ices, some of which are sugar-free, served here are prepared three times a day according to the same recipes used by the Arnoldo brothers when they opened the place in 1927. The pièces de résistance are frozen fruits stuffed with creamy filling: don't miss the apricot sorbet–filled apricot.

  • 6. 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, Italy
    0575-302537

    Known For

    • Their soups
    • Surprisingly well-composed mixed salads
    • Inventive desserts
  • 7. 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.

    0571-43190
