My friend and I stopped by Bottega Baracchi for an aperitivo and a small snack after a few hours of…read moreperusing the Cortona Sunday flea market in the piazzas nearby.
Bottega Baracchi looks quite small from the street, but there are a large network of counters and dining rooms below street-level so don't be put off if you need to accommodate a large party or even just if the little bar area looks full.
As I mentioned, we only had a snack, so I can't speak very knowledgeably about the food, but I will just leave a tip here. If you buy a drink during happy hour you are also welcome to partake in the snackies they leave out in the bar area! The day we came through, there were small pieces of pizza, toast with a spicy tomato sauce (kind of salsa-like, actually), spicy peanuts, cheese puffs, and a variety of small sandwiches with a variety of cold cuts and cheeses. It was a nice way to stave off some hunger before our late dinner reservation.
