In-Depth Information
( 0577 23 65 68; www.vinattieri.net ; Via delle Terme 79; antipasto platter €7-9, meals €35;
noon-10pm, closed late Feb-late Mar) Duck down the stairs to enjoy a quick glass of wine and a
meat or cheese platter in this cellar, or settle in for a leisurely meal accompanied by your
choice from an impressive wine list. It's popular with locals and tourists alike; you'll need
to try your luck for a drink, and book in advance for a meal.
Tre Cristi

SEAFOOD €€€
( 0577 28 06 08; www.trecristi.com ; Vicolo di Provenzano 1; 3-course tasting menus €35-45, 5-course
menus €65; 12.30-3pm & 7.30-10.30pm Mon-Sat) Seafood restaurants are thin on the ground
in this meat-obsessed region, so the long existence of Tre Cristi (it's been around since
1830) should be heartily celebrated. The menu is as elegant as the decor, and added
touches such as a complimentary glass of prosecco (dry sparkling wine) at the start of the
meal add to the experience.
Enoteca Italiana
( www.enoteca-italiana.it ; Fortezza Medicea; noon-1am Mon-Sat Apr-Sep, to midnight Oct-Mar) The
former munitions cellar and dungeon of this Medici fortress has been artfully transformed
into a classy enoteca that carries more than 1500 Italian labels. You can take a bottle with
you, ship a case home or enjoy a glass or two in the attractive courtyard or atmospheric
vaulted interior of the wine bar. There's usually food available, too.
