When you tire of traditional Tuscan (or touristy Tuscan), recharge taste buds with an imaginative pizza or burger at this contemporary waterfront cellar with ancient stone vaults and chintzy glass chandeliers. A cheery rainbow of tables and chairs – painted pink, violet, turquoise, a wonderful riot of colour – enliven the space and there's a respectable choice of bottled craft beer.
