The type of restaurant that fuels fantasies of moving permanently to Tuscany, Massimiliano Canton's ultrafriendly osteria bakes its own bread, makes pasta by hand, grills bistecca on a wood fire, specialises in truffle and porcini dishes, and has an exceptional wine list. Families appreciate the keenly priced kids' menu (€5 to €12) too. Book ahead.
You'll find it on the SP79 between Fiano and Certaldo, 14km southwest of San Casciano in Val di Pesa.
