Bar dell'Orso

Top choice in Central Tuscany


Known throughout the region for the affordability and excellence of its food, the Bear Bar bustles from morning to night and is a great place to grab a quick panino or a lunch of handmade pasta or hearty stew. Later in the day, order a merende (afternoon snack) of cured meats, cheese and pickled vegetables – best enjoyed with a glass of vino.
