Highly curated selection of excellent, international cheeses, not just the usual Tuscan pecorino. Also featuring raw oysters and crudite of fish when in season. Other light dishes such as tartar and salads available. Outdoor seating in the summer and live jazz on occasion. Efficient service; can be a little bit cramped when the place is full, which is often. Also open as a wine bar throughout the day. Good value for money. Thumbs up. Posto invitante nel centro storico di Arezzo. Una selezione buona di vini buoni da Italia e Europa. Selezione eccellente di formaggi da tutta Europa, non solo il solito pecorino Toscano. Ostriche e crudite di pesce durante la stagione. Altri piatti leggere come tartara e insalate disponibile. Posti a sedere fuori durante l'estate e jazz da vivo. Servizio efficace; può essere molto stretto quando è pieno, che spesso succede. Wine bar durante il giorno. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliato.

Small and quiet inside, with a few little tables outside, La Formaggeria has a bustling (take away) business in cheeses, a very nice wine selection, and a contingent of locals who hangout. There are daily dinner specials that sounded yummy and my salad was excellent -- topped with toasts of bread + zucchini + cheese. I very much appreciated that, although a single diner, I was given a nice table and afforded excellent service. The owner even popped by my table for a quick chat. And at the end of the night they refused to break my bill so that I could leave a tip -- saying it was appreciated but not expected. La Formaggeria is highly recommended.

Over a few days, the name Antica Caciara kept popping up. Then I picked up a Louis Vuitton Rome City Guide in our hotel lobby, flipped through it, and there it was again. At that point, it had to be fate... or really good marketing. I'm choosing to believe it was fate! The moment you walk in, you're hit with the most amazing aromas of cheese and cured meats. They have a wonderful selection of cheeses, meats, cookies, oils, balsamic vinegars, and all kinds of Italian goodies. But what really made our visit special were Roberto and Anna. Their family has owned and operated the shop since 1900, and they welcomed us with such genuine warmth. Roberto proudly showed us a magazine photo featuring him and the shop, and you could immediately tell how much his family and their history mean to him. It was absolutely charming. Of course, we couldn't leave without bringing Italy home with us. We bought what may have been an excessive amount of 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano to share with family and friends. Anna got quite a laugh out of how much cheese we were taking home! Let's just say an extra suitcase was needed. She even gave us detailed instructions on how to wrap and store it--cheesecloth first, then parchment so the cheese can breathe. Our friends and family were thrilled to receive their little pieces of Italy, beautifully wrapped just the way Anna taught us. Places like this are what make traveling so memorable. Yes, the food was fantastic, but it was the people, the history, and the personal experience that made Antica Caciara one of our favorite little discoveries in Rome. If you're in Rome, go! And tell Roberto and Anna that Glenn and Bob sent you.

You can purchase your choice of cheese, meats, jams and wine (if not driving!) for your picnic, and they provide the picnic basket, cutting board, bread, picnic tables, utensils, and an absolutely fabulous view of the tuscan hillside from a well manicured garden area. For the two of us, we bought an "etto" or so (100g) of each of several different cheeses and meats and sat down to watch the world go by. Great way to relax after several busy days of traveling! Reservations accepted; picnics must end by 1800. This was definitely one of my favorite activities in Tuscany. If you are driving through Tuscany, it's about 15 minutes from Montepulciano. Also, if you don't have time for a picnic (but why not??), they also sell their cheese for take away.
