Like every restaurant in the area…read moreit offers the traditional Tuscan tagliata di chianina (is there a law?) but there's also rabbit stuffed with veal and truffles and a very on-trend Swiss chard, ricotta, and truffled egg raviolone. I started with the latter, which was delicious -- but the powerful flavour of cheese and the egg yolk drowned out the chard. My wife's potato flan was quite nice, but it arrived buried under a heap of truffle shavings that tasted of nothing in particular. My main was a special of roast suckling pig with potatoes and a savoury tuile made with the pork drippings. The tuile was gratuitous -- a chef-y touch that didn't actually taste very nice. The suckling pig was beautifully cooked but the potatoes were weirdly inconsistent; some crisp and others mushy. Il Fornacino is a good restaurant that would be the best restaurant around in most places, but the five-star bar is set pretty high in Tuscany. But the prices were very modest and the wine selection was great. It's a tremendously good value for what it offers.

They are quite earnest here but welcome new visitors on a casual, or serious, basis.

The soups, salads and hot dishes are tasty, filling, inventive and satisfying. They also host cultural events and discussion groups - if you want to become more than just a casual visitor - evening meals are themed and held a few times a week.

I visited Arezzo with a group of my friends from Spain during our Easter holidays, where we stumbled upon Antica Osteria L'Agania by chance-- we were starving, saw a few good reviews online, and happened to be around the corner. We had a wait, but not too long. Once we were seated, we quickly looked through the menu and made our choices-- one friend tried the wild boar since it was a Tuscan specialty, but I saw truffle pasta and my mind was made up. It was a super simple dish, but done so, so well that I can still remember how it tastes today. Along with the food, the great (and inexpensive) house wine, the desserts, and the brisk but friendly service just created an unforgettable experience, without seeming geared towards tourists or catered to foreigners. Don't miss this spot!
