Il Fornacino has an adventurous menu that I was excited to try. 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.

I can not recommend this restaurant enough-- for me, it was one of those meals you look back on for…read moreyears to come and remember for so many reasons. 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!

Upon arrival a quirky and fun-loving waitress cleared a table and served us immediately. At 2100 hrs, the place was packed with three large parties of 10 or more with three additional small tables seated. We had water, pastas, bruschetta and tea. Everything was delicious! I recommend the "lard" bruschetta, which looked like sliced turkey meat on bread but delivered a very different flavor, one that tasted very good with tomatoes and salt. I also loved the 3-cream cheese pasta. All served promptly and the staff spoke great english. I highly recommend this off-the-beaten path Trattoria. Thank you Francesco!
