The drawback here is the slow and inept service and lack of depth on the wine list. This is a fun place for lunch when exploring the wonderful city of Arezzo. The restaurant is located just next door to the basilica of San Francesco, with frescoes by Piero Della Francesca. The simple fare includes homemade pastas, salads, stews and roasted meats. The wine list is improving, with a good selection of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, such as Nottola and Poliziano.
Service is efficient and friendly.
This is a wonderful, classical trattoria with delicious food, friendly service and a small but well-chosen wine list. It's open on Sunday, and is very popular with Italian aristocrats and the cognoscenti of the city. The menu changes daily, featuring five or six specials. Deep-fried vegetables are a treat as a starter, as are the pastas. For an entree, try fried lamb chops or grilled flank steak.
