Da Caino, Montemerano

A rustic-but-elegant room in the Maremma. The highly regarded cooking is inspired by regional cuisine and seasonal ingredients. Bread and pasta are home-made; the wine list is vast.
Da Delfina, Artimino

One of Tuscany’s finest countryside restaurants, mixing classy service with merrymaking and refined but traditional cooking. Coniglio con olive e pinoli , rabbit with olives and pine nuts, is a scrumptious speciality.
Da Galileo, Livorno

Delightfully simple restaurant serving local cuisine. Fish dominates the menu – try the seafood fettucine or salt cod cooked with onion Livorno-style.
Da Leo, Lucca

Da Leo is crowded with locals and buzzing with conversation. Try the zuppa ai cinque cereali , a soup filled with grains and legumes.
Dorandò, San Gimignano

This elegant stone-walled restaurant keeps traditional Sangimignanese recipes alive, resurrecting superbly prepared, tasty dishes from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. They even claim that some of their dishes date back to the Etruscan era. The menu explains each in detail.
Dorandò, San Gimignano

Crisp tablecloths and crisp service are coupled with fascinating menus explaining the medieval or Etruscan origins of each finely prepared dish.
Emanuele, Elba

Unassuming beachfront shack serving Elba’s best seafood, freshest vegetables and excellent desserts. The tiny courtyard at the back leads onto the pebble beach.
Enoteca I Terzi

Atmospheric wine bar serving simple Sienese dishes under vaulted ceilings.
Enoteca la Botte e il Frantoio, San Gimignano

This retail outlet for Luciano Bruni’s Vernaccia wine also sells olive oils and other top wines from across Tuscany.
Enoteca Le Logge, Massa Marittima

This is a great, simple Old World café-bar with tables set under the partly frescoed portico of the main piazza; their sandwiches and gelato are definitely worth a try.
