Located about 50 miles south of Florence, the ancient city of Arezzo is well worth a visit. Dating back to around the 5th century BC when it was one of the most important Etruscan cities, the Romans then took over in the first of many changes of power. Now, it offers fascinating ruins, beautiful churches, and a calm atmosphere for visitors. Here are our favorite restaurants in this beautiful city.

Gastronomia Il Cervo

Located right around the corner from one of Arezzo’s biggest draws, the Basilica di San Francesco, you might not expect Gastronomia Il Cervo to be much more than a tourist trap. But here you can find one of your best meals in the city. Their menu is chock full of some of the best dishes that Tuscany has to offer, all of which will come lovingly prepared in very large portions. Insider tip: go for the half portions and share several dishes so that you can try as many of them as possible.

Gastronomia Il Cervo, Via Cavour 38, Arezzo, Italy, +39 0575 20872

Ristorante Cio che Piace

It can be rather difficult to find a high-quality seafood meal in this area of Tuscany, but Ristorante Cio che Piace is the perfect remedy for that. Just a few blocks from the main square, this place may not look much from the outside, but the inside is charmingly decorated, and the menu will wow you. Some of their seafood highlights include mussel and clam appetizers, grilled calamari, octopus in tomato sauce, and grilled tuna steak, which will melt in your mouth.

Ristorante Cio che Piace, Via S. Lorentino 12, Arezzo, Italy, +39 0575 371287

Alo Burger

Restaurant, Italian, American, $$$
Alo Burger is here to prove that not all good food in Arezzo has to be Tuscan. Alo makes a burger that would be memorable even on the other side of the Atlantic, and the restaurant is quick and cheap, with good service to boot. If you’d like a break from drawn out Italian meals with several courses, you can stop here for a delicious meal that will allow you to get back to exploring the town soon after but will also leave you full for hours. If you avoid red meat, their burgers can all be substituted with chicken breasts. And don’t forget dessert, their version of a Sacher Torte is fantastic.
