With all the classy wines around, finding some good affordable places to eat in Tuscany can be quite a challenge, so here's our personal selection of the locals' favorites. These are all great Italian taverns that serve traditional Tuscan cuisine with a twist, so expect to be treated like one of their own and choose a great spot on a warm summer terrace to enjoy some home made pasta. Nello La Taverna has been around for more than 50 years, so it is one of the local legends, along with the slightly creepy Maria Frullini that functions in an 11th century crypt. The best calzone in town can be found at Lorenzaccio (Il), while a great stop for an affordable seasonal dish with a great crowd and an even better wine waits for you at Bar-Enoteca Coquinarius.
