Restaurants in Arezzo

Octavin holds a Michelin star (2024) and just 20 seats in a stone palazzo on one of Arezzo's quieter streets. Chef Luca Fracassi cooks creative Italian built around foraged, forgotten, and regional ingredients — technically precise, genuinely local, and unlike anything else in the city. Book four to six weeks out for weekends; this is one of the harder reservations in Tuscany outside Florence.

The Gambero Rosso Tre Spicchi award signals what you are getting at 'O Scugnizzo: Neapolitan pizza at a level Arezzo has no direct competition for. The Police family's kitchen sources quality Italian regional ingredients that shift with the season, and the compact, wood-furnished room keeps the experience personal. Easy to book, mid-range pricing, and a clear first choice for pizza in the city center.

Le Chiavi d'Oro holds back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) and a 4.5 Google rating, making it Arezzo's clearest choice for a special occasion dinner. Modern Tuscan cuisine with a seasonal focus, a minimalist room on Piazza San Francesco, and mid-range pricing that makes credentialed cooking accessible. Book a week ahead for weekends; earlier in autumn truffle season.

A Michelin Plate restaurant on Arezzo's Piazza Grande, Osteria Grande delivers seasonal Italian contemporary cooking with a serious wine pairing program and dedicated cocktail staff.
