MUST-EAT restaurant in Cortona! I visit Cortona a lot AND I always make sure I visit Trattoria Toscana. Every single time, it does NOT disappoint. The friendly, courteous staff to the delicious food they deliver. In this highly touristica town this restaurant stands out.
This visit, I had the fresh fennel salad with orange slices and fresh grano padano cheese and the fagiole. YUM! So tasty and delicious. They also have fresh pasta's that are typical in Tuscany, Perugia and Rome. So be curious and try a few.
You might find it hard to find a table as it is always busy now, but be patient, it is worth it. Be prepared to pay cash although they take card too. Sometimes the internet is down in these 11th century buildings.
As you make your way up the hill in Cortona, do not miss this hidden gem. Servers are friendly and nice, so be nice too! Relax, enjoy Italy and remember, good fresh food has to be prepared. Mange, mange! Until next...

We also ordered orecchiette pasta--another amazing, flavorful dish. We were too full to order any other dish, but finished the meal with limoncello and a piece of cake. That and a bottle of super Tuscan ran us 55 euros--amazing value for a remarkable meal! Can't wait to go back before we leave...
