Aroma Ristorante on Via Ghibellina is chef-owner Marco Romei's 30-seat fish restaurant: daily deliveries from the Tuscan coast, bread and pasta made in-house.
OrderThe day's fish from the coast; the menu changes with the catch, so ask what came in and take the house pasta.
TipClosed Monday and open until the last table leaves, so late dinners work. Book by phone; the current menu is posted on the restaurant's Facebook page.
BarBar occupies a former gravel works off Via Gioberti, three rooms and a palm-shaded garden, with a seasonal Tuscan menu, biodynamic wines and cocktails.
OrderAgnolotti al piccione (€20), then the stuffed guinea fowl or venison fillet; a cocktail in the garden after.
TipOpened in 2021; the garden fills first on warm evenings, so book by email. Tuesday is dinner only, Monday closed; tapas and a light lunch run beside the carte.
Borderline on Corso Italia, between the station and the river, is a Tuscan restaurant run by three brothers: bistecca, truffle pici and 30-day dry-aged Angus.

TipLunch and dinner Monday to Friday, dinner only Saturday, closed Sunday. Book through TheFork; the room is small and the design draws a local crowd.
