Restaurants in Arezzo

  1. A

    La Lancia d’Oro

    Your order here is supplemented by excellent snacks and ­titbits that arrive unannounced. There’s a jolly, waggish waiter, while the interior, painted with swags and green-and-white stripes, is like dining in a marquee. Good light lunch menus (€15, two courses, plus glass of wine) are served on the terrace under the loggia that looks down over Piazza Grande.

    Buca di San Francesco

    The walls of this arched and vaulted cellar are decorated with frescoes and copious religious art in deference to neighbouring Chiesa di San Francesco. It does three church-themed - 'friar', 'abbot' and 'prior' - and church-priced menus. The congenial owner takes indecisiveness as an invitation to usurp control and design a menu for you.

    Ristorante Logge Vasari

    This restaurant has a terrace fronting Piazza Grande, two pleasant interior rooms and class that defies stereotypically dire 'piazza cuisine'. The menu degustazione is a parade of flavours and interesting flourishes to local dishes. Let your server choose the wine - he'll be right.

    La Vigna Trattoria

    Choose your meat, then watch it sizzle on the giant, open fireplace. Apart from possibly the bread, vegetarians will have little choice here. Less zealous carnivores can choose from the short pizza menu and a selection of homemade desserts.

    La Torre di Gnicche

    Just off Piazza Grande, this is a fine traditional restaurant offering a rich variety of antipasti. Choose from the ample range of local pecorino cheeses, accompanied by a choice red from the extensive wine list.

    La Tua Piadina

    A justifiably popular takeaway place hidden away down a side street, where you can get a range of hot, tasty piadine, the Emilia-Romagna version of the wrap, from around €3.50.

    Trattoria Il Saraceno

    This trattoria serves quality, varied Tuscan fare. The impressive wine collection is hard to miss, as it conspicuously lines the walls. Pizzas start at €5.
