Enoteca Vanni, Lucca

Lucca’s best wine shop is guaranteed to raise the hairs on your neck, with its hundreds of bottles crowded into small cellar rooms.
Etruria, Volterra

The one-time best place in town has gone a bit touristy, but the Tuscan dishes are tasty as ever.
Fappani, Viareggio

Try Fappani’s delicious home-made sweets with your morning coffee, preferably on the terrace of this café set in the heart of the seaside promenade’s shopping district.
Fattoria Pulcino, Montepulciano

A rustic experience at long wooden tables – good, simple food in abundance. The family-run wine estate also has a shop where you can buy its farm products and wines.
Fiddler’s Elbow

Not wishing to miss out on the latest fashion, Florence has its very own Irish pubs; this one is the best.
Forisportam, Lucca

This is another good shop for presents: you’ll pay decent prices for highly decorated Renaissance-style ceramics from Montelupo and Deruta.
Gallerie Agostiniane, Volterra

Another showcase for alabaster workers who are too busy to maintain their own sales outlets.
Gambero Rosso, San Vicenzo

One of Italy’s top restaurants, with an elegant, blue-and-white Neo-classical dining room and a menu rich in seafood.
Gilli

Risorgimento intellectuals met under this historical café’s stuccoed ceilings in the 1850s and 1860s to discuss the unification of Italy.
Giubbe Rosse

The waiters’ giubbe rosse (red jackets) hark back to Garibaldi’s glory days; and it is here that Florence’s Futurists used to meet. The café’s artistic associations persist: literary competitions are still hosted here.
