La Piccola Gerusalemme
Pitigliano’s medieval lanes and steep alleys are a delight to wander. Take Via Zuccarelli and turn left for La Piccola Gerusalemme. The area fell into disrepair with the demise of Pitigliano’s Jewish community at the end of WWII and was practically rebuilt from scratch in 1995. A visit includes the tiny, richly adorned synagogue and a small museum of Jewish culture, including the old bakery, kosher butchers and dyeing shops.

Il Forno
Pick up a stick or two of sfratto, a gorgeously sticky local confection made of honey and walnuts, from this place. Counterbalance the sweetness with a glass or two of the town’s excellent dryish Bianco di Pitigliano wine.

Osteria Il Tufo Allegro
This osteria is just off Via Zuccarelli. The aromas emanating from its kitchen should be enough to draw you into the cavernous chamber, carved out of the tufa foundations.

Museo Archeologico has a rich display of finds from local Etruscan sites. They’re well displayed, though the descriptive panels are in Italian only.
