Carlo Fagiani, Panzano

A modern showroom selling traditional leather goods. Jackets, bags and shoes made to measure.
Casa di Dante (del Pennello)

Going since at least the 1500s, and famous for its antipasto table laden with vegetables, fish and meat.
Castelvecchio

The creative Tuscan food is quite refined for the price at this intimate little place. On vegetarian Wednesdays, only one meat dish is available.
Ceramiche Artistiche Santa Caterina

Franca, Marcello and son Fabio produce Siena’s best ceramics. The black, white and “burnt sienna” designs are based on the Duomo’s floor panels.
Ceramiche Rampini, near Radda

One of the best Italian ceramicists, producing classy and whimsical designs. You can buy anything from a single piece to a full dinner service.
Cibrèo

Top restaurant, favoured by intellectuals. The annexe serves a limited menu from the same kitchen at less than half the price.
Cibrèo, Florence

Florence’s best restaurant has a relaxed elegance fostered by the chatty waiting staff and décor. They prepare traditional dishes, but with no pasta or roast meats, and they do not spare the peperoncino . The trattoria branch on Via de’ Macci has a shorter menu from the same kitchen, but much lower prices.
Cortecci

Men’s and women’s designer fashion (Armani, Gucci, Prada, Versace) plus lesser-known, more affordable labels.
Da Badò, Volterra

This locals’ restaurant sticks to its guns: Volterran dishes made only with ingredients available at market that day.
Da Bruno, Pisa

Expect to pay restaurant prices at this trattoria. Excellent local dishes, such as a thick zuppa pisana ribollita . Try the tiramisu sundae.
