Try the hearty cinghiale alla Volterrana (wild boar with black olives) in this 19th-century converted mill.
-
The more imaginative dishes at “The Trough” are excellent (though the standard fare seems perfunctorily prepared). Classical music adds to the lively atmosphere.
-
A fine restaurant with legendary cuisine and a stupendous setting in the Hotel Cisterna.
-
This pastry and panino wine bar occupies an airy medieval room. Don’t miss the deli counter at the back.
-
A family-run trattoria in a room with stone walls and hewn beams. This is Tuscan cooking the way Grandma used to make it (Grandma, incidentally, is in the kitchen).
-
Dine in a softly lit brick-barreled vault. Like any good osteria, this one serves great platters of mixed cheeses and cured meats, along with a good selection of wines.
-
Since 1895 this has been the principal outlet for alabaster artisans without a shop of their own.
-
Tacky souvenir shops line the Via S. Giovanni, selling medieval-style crossbows, swords and flails of varying degrees of realism. Most of them are small and very blunt, but some are fully functional.
-
Visit the shop of this local sculptor who creates original bronzes as well as replicas of works in the museum.
-
Suckling pigs roast on spits in the open fireplace; low stone vaults add to the atmosphere. Try the tris di primi sampler plate of three first courses.
-
Restaurant price categories
For a three-course meal for one with half a bottle of wine (or equivalent meal), taxes and extra charges.
