Gargotta - 15 minutes drive

One of the most authentic Tuscan restaurants in the area. A local family favourite. If you want a “bistecca alla Fiorentina” this is the place we recommend locally.

L’Angolo Del Mare 30 Minutes Drive

One of the most amazing fish restaurants you will find away from water. Closer to Fiesole but well worth the trip and the tricky parking.

Trattoria Osvaldo - Settignano 18 Minute Drive

A great place for a Sunday lunch

Nuovo Ranch 8 minutes

Only a few minutes from the torre, up a steep drive. Have everything and very child friendly.

Trattoria Donnini 13 Minutes Drive

One of the oldest and most authentic restaurants in the area.
