Octavin
Housed in two small dining rooms connected by an arch on the ground floor of an old palazzo, this restaurant is decorated with materials that give it a minimalist feel – a combination of stone, wood and iron in the tables, glass in the mirrors and bottles on display, and paper in the books arranged in small niches, just like the lounge of a private home. There are just 20 seats in this warm, intimate and unfussy restaurant, as well as a large counter separated by an arch at the entrance which precedes the recently restructured kitchen.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.2/5 · 100 reviews
Octavin in Arezzo offers creative modern cuisine, praised for high-quality, intense flavors often inspired by stories or memories. Guests appreciate the attentive service and intimate atmosphere, though the space is extremely limited with only three tables. While many find the experience magical and unique, some negative reviews criticize the small portion sizes, poor value for money, and basic decor. The restaurant delivers a distinctive gastronomic journey, but those sensitive to portion sizes or seeking traditional comfort may find it lacking.
Suitable for diners seeking unique creative cuisine and an intimate setting, but less ideal for those prioritizing portion size and value.
