The best restaurants San Gimignano

It's not here that you have to come to find the best kitchen in the city, far from it. Frozen lasagna, for example, do not deserve better than the words'fair '. But the address has the merit of offering a terrace at the foot of one of the characteristic towers of the city and to serve late… Prices are advantageous, even if for quality you have to go its way.

The bar-restaurant Le Terrazze, belonging to the Hotel La Cisterna and located in the famous square of the same name, is renowned throughout the region for its excellent Tuscan cuisine. Passing tourists vie for tables on the terrace. But a word of advice: it's best to head for thesecond floor, where two beautiful ^14th-century rooms overlook the comings and goings of the Piazza della Cisterna and the verdant Val d'Elsa. One of these, called the loggia rustica, features a charming farmhouse style with wooden beams. A tasty table.

A pleasant panoramic terrace with pergola for this restaurant in the historic centre, located in the heart of the Pesciolini tower, dating from the 14th century. The structure of this address is worth a detour on its own. The interior room is huge, in medieval style. On the menu, a regional cuisine and, upon your arrival, a warm welcome. Pork with mushroom sauce, and all dishes made with truffles, are the house's specialities. The prices charged are a little more expensive than elsewhere, the framework surely explaining this state of affairs.
