Restaurants

Cortona specializes in no food outside of the standard Tuscan realm, but the city's restaurants do home-cooked meals rather well, especially at any one of the trattorie on Via Dardano. Besides Trattoria Dardano, reviewed below, you can also try Trattoria Toscana, no. 12, near Piazza Signorelli (tel. 0575-604-192), or Trattoria Etrusca, no. 37, near Porta Colonia (tel. 0575-630-556).

The local white wine, Vergine di Valdichiana, is highly recommended, but most local red table rotgut is overly sweet and harsh.

A Vino Break -- The Enoteria, Via Nazionale 18 (no phone), offers wine tasting accompanied by snacks made from local food products. In addition to wine, it sells honey, preserves, cured meats, cookies, dried spices, olive oils, sauces, and dried pici.
