Where to Eat
In a ristorante (restaurant) expect to find crisp linen, classic furnishings, formal service
and refined dishes. A trattoria is a restaurant, often family-owned with cheaper prices,
more relaxed service and classic regional specialities. Intimate and relaxed, the osteria
has its origins in a traditional inn serving wine with a little food on the side; these days it's
hard to differentiate between an osteria and trattoria. For a cheap feed, cold beer and a
buzzing, convivial vibe, head for a pizzeria .
Enoteca (wine bars) are increasingly casual, atmospheric places to dine and taste
Tuscan wines by the glass.
Dining on a farm at an agriturismo (farm stay) is the best of Tuscany - a copious,
never-ending feast of homemade cooking with local produce against a quintessential
Tuscan backdrop of old stone farmhouse, cypress alley and pea-green rolling hills.
At the gelateria (ice-cream shop), rain, hail or shine, a queue outside the door marks
the best of ice-cream shops. The astonishing choice of flavours will have you longing for
an Italian ice cream long after you've left Tuscany.
