La Bucaccia

regional, mediterranean, italian · Bib

€

One of the best places to discover Tuscan cuisine, and that of Arezzo in particular, this restaurant serves exquisite dishes full of flavour. Just a few tables are laid out along the main street in the historic centre, while the two interior dining rooms are rustic and romantic in feel. Friendly and exuberant owner Romano merits a particular mention, providing guaranteed entertainment in between courses.

Locanda del Molino

Tuscan, Traditional Cuisine

€€

This rustic yet charming restaurant occupies an old family mill. It has attractive guestrooms that reflect the elegant simplicity of the Tuscan countryside. In the kitchen, the female chef creates traditional specialities such as fried rabbit and nettle with ricotta cheese gnudi (ravioli filling without the pasta) in a fresh tomato sauce.

3.2km

Enoteca Meucci

Tuscan, Contemporary

€€

Occupying a restored farmhouse at the foot of Cortona, this restaurant has two different dining areas: a wine bar on the ground floor where you can enjoy excellent aperitifs or buy local food produce, and a restaurant on the first floor that serves a traditional yet constantly evolving menu with a focus on seasonal ingredients. There’s also a beautiful outdoor space for summer dining.

3.7km

Osteria del Teatro

Tuscan, Traditional Cuisine

€€

Enjoy traditional cuisine served in an elegant 16C dining room with a fireplace or in more informal trattoria-style rooms, all of which are decorated with the same theatrical theme. The recipes here focus on local traditions and seasonal ingredients, resulting in colourful, well-balanced and beautifully presented dishes that are full of flavour. There are just a few tables on the small terrace near the entrance overlooking the pedestrianised street, so if you want to sit outdoors make sure you book well in advance.
