A local trattoria offering budget Tuscan food

Popular plate: The meat dishes here are incredible as they’re all cooked in ‘lardo di colonnata’ - a salted garlic, herb and spice butter lovingly made in the Apuan Alps.

A fantastic little trattoria in the heart of the city, Osteria Dei Pazzi is a hugely popular dinner destination with the locals - and still relatively unspoilt by tourists. Traditional Tuscan cuisine, fine local wines, eye-catching decor and unfalteringly friendly service combine to create a superb dining experience, while the low prices make it ideal for those on a tight budget.

Just one warning - the owner/manager has a penchant for walking around the restaurant singing and making strange noises. But then again, with a name like Osteria Dei Pazzi (Tavern of the Crazy), it's to be expected.
