One of the oldest restaurants in the city, a historic and essential address for the quality of its dishes and its privileged position in front of the cathedral... what more could you ask for? A history that has lasted since 1882 and despite its notoriety, the restaurant has managed to preserve its Tuscan soul without omitting a little innovation. To try, tortelloni stuffed with smoked scamorza with saffron potato cream and courgettes. The terrace on the cathedral square is a privilege, otherwise the room offers a Tuscan setting with its red brick vaults.
