Our recommendations in the area
Buca di Michelangelo
25 mins drive from the house Typical Tuscan cuisine Great view from the restaurant. Very friendly staff.
One of our favoured restaurants in the area. Sitting on the hills of Caprese Michelangelo, the restaurant has beautiful views over the valley. The food is exceptional, especially pasta dishes with truffles or porcini mushroom and tagliata (sliced beef) with rosemary and juniper berries. The staff is always friendly and the wine is reasonably priced. They are also famous for their Limoncello with ginger, so if you are there you should definitely try it. The restaurant is a short walk to the house of the legendary Michaelangelo. He was born and raised on this hill and you can find the scenery around the house on many of his paintings.

II Fuedo Del Vicario
5 mins drive from the house near the centre of Anghiari. Fine Tuscan cuisine, lovely family restaurant.
This is a fine dining restaurant just of the centre of Anghiari. Antonio, the owner is an artist and a chef. He runs his restaurant together with his family and their dishes are more refined and a little bit different to other restaurants in the area. They are always happy to take you down to the wine cellar and advise the wine for the evening. During the season they have a few tables on the street across from the restaurant and if you can, book those, as it is a pleasure to dine and watch how live in Anghiari passing by during the warm, summer evenings.

Borgo Di Celle
20 mins drive from the house Breathtaking views from the dining area. Beautiful food and good wines. A hotel restaurant on the hill.
A restaurant with the most romantic settings in the area. Definitely book a table outside to enjoy the scenery.

Bar Pizzeria Baldaccio
Located in the square in Anghiari. The furniture outside the bar are a little tired but it is still best pizza in the entire area. Also does take away pizza. They do pizzas, pastas and salads. Wine is very local but there is a very good wine bar just next door to it.
To book or order a takeaway pizza, please call: +39 0575788148
Bar Garibaldi
Located in the square in Anghiari. Best ice creams in the area. Must try Cremino Pistacchio and Cremino Chocolate, excellent.
Restaurants we would not recommend due to bad experience:
- La Nonna on the top of the main street of Anghiari (food was always just ok and once we were served bad truffles with a strong chemical taste).
- Pizzeria Zi Teresa at the bottom of the Anghiari hill, pizza is definitely better at Bar Baldaccio.
We would recommend avoiding booking restaurants on Friday or Saturday night, as they can get very busy and with a lot of people, neither the staff nor the chef will give you the time and attention as they do during the week.
