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.

Trattoria Dardano
Dardano is one of those no-nonsense yet still unexpectedly wonderful trattorie that feature prominently in every Tuscany travel memoir, doing amazing things with ostensibly simple dishes. You’ll be elbow-to-elbow with locals and giddy, idealistic visitors seriously considering buying and fixing up a nearby farmhouse on the strength of their lunch.

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.

La Bucaccia
Decidedly tourist-targeted, with Etruscan cellar ambience: wine racks, grape press, tiny wine barrels, cheese wheels and an Etruscan cistern displayed under a glassed floor. The service is indisputably warm, and the food notable in both taste and presentation, but lofty wine prices push the final total quite high.

C
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.

Osteria del Teatro
Friendly service, fresh flowers on every table and a liberal meting out of truffle shavings awaits diners here. Featured in nearly every Italian gastronomic guide, its seasonally driven dishes include the ravioli ai fiori di zucca (pumpkin-flower ravioli) in summer.

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
