Top 10 Where to Eat
-
1. Locanda dell’Amorosa, Amorosa
Fourteenth-century farm complex and inn, with a refined restaurant in the converted stalls. The high-class Tuscan cuisine is served in a rustic, fire-warmed setting. Booking advised.
-
2. II Falconiere, Cortona
Silvia and Riccardo Baracchi converted the limonaia of their 17th-century estate into this Michelin-starred restaurant, one of the finest in the region, adding rich flourishes to the already excellent Tuscan cuisine.
-
3. La Buca di San Francesco, Arezzo
Very friendly cellar restaurant; generous portions.
-
4. Ristorante Fiorentino, Sansepolcro
Old-fashioned inn serving hearty food.
-
5. Preludio, Cortona
This gastronomic address in Cortona serves nouvelle Tuscan dishes in a Renaissance palazzo setting (the frescoes are modern). Skip the unsatisfying house red for a bottle, though.
-
6. La Locanda nel Loggiato, Cortona
New owners have kept prices moderate for their Tuscan cooking, despite using some expensive ingredients. The draw is the balcony setting, overlooking the main piazza.
-
7. Le Tastevin, Arezzo
Best cooking in Arezzo, with a primarily Tuscan menu. The owner sometimes plays a little jazz at the piano, but service can be brusque.
-
8. La Grotta, Cortona
Outdoor seating on a tiny piazza, stony medieval rooms evoking that “grotto” and solid Tuscan dishes make this popular with locals and college students.
-
9. Antica Osteria l’Agania, Arezzo
Cosy trattoria where you pay for what you drink of the house Chianti; the comfort food includes grifi e polenta (fatty veal stomach in polenta).
-
10. Totò, Lucignano
Tuscan osteria annexed to a lovely hotel. The locals give Boris and Beatrice carte blanche when they order, specifying only a small, average or large meal.

The restaurant at Da Toto is excellent. Definitely in my top ten. In fact, it's in my top three in the area. Great location and excellent food - Tuscan country cooking at its best. And yes, do have one of the set meals and let chef Boris do the choosing. It's what they do best!
