Dorandò

Three stone-walled rooms with brick-vaulted ceilings are the setting for San Gimignano’s most elegant and best dining option, though there’s nothing fussy about the cooking. Ingredients are locally sourced and recipes are decidedly local—beef is done in a sauce of Chianti classic, local pork comes with an apple puree, and cibrèo, a rich ragout, comes with chicken livers and giblets scented with ginger and lemon. If you want to include a dinner here on an overnight in San Gimignano, you’ll need a reservation.
