If Montecatini Alto is your fantasy image of a hip, but historical Medieval hillside town in the Tuscan region, then La Torre is probably pretty close to the image you have of a delightful street-side café, where you can people watch for hours on end while enjoying some wine/beer and sharing several small plates.
When you look around, it's almost easy to believe you're on a movie set or sitting down for a rest in a highly detailed theme park area. The surroundings are just that beautiful and idealistic.
The food is simple, but incredibly tasty and wonderful for sharing among friends or with a significant other. Of particular note is the focaccia with thinly-sliced ham and melted cheese, and its sister-offering with salami and cheese. I could honestly eat either of those two items every day while I'm in town. This café also offers a nice selection of local wines and other small plates and shareable items that can satisfy any appetite.
The service is friendly and prompt, and I always feel well taken care of by the team. This isn't necessarily the highest-end dining choice in the village, but it's certainly one of my favorites. read more
