  • Sample refined cooking in a 15th-century palazzo. Sample, too, the enormous wine cellar, which ranges from little-known local labels to grand foreign wines.

  • Get great home-made gelato and decent coffee on San Gimignano’s main street.

  • The Etruscans crafted crystal in this area. Belli is the best of those workshops carrying on the tradition, producing both refined objects and souvenirs.

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

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

  • This retail outlet for Luciano Bruni’s Vernaccia wine also sells olive oils and other top wines from across Tuscany.

  • 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.

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

  • Another showcase for alabaster workers who are too busy to maintain their own sales outlets.

  • The Gazzarrinis have been making superb pastries, cakes and biscuits for five generations. To go with the cantucci they carry over 40 vin santo labels.
