Let's try the place at the suggestion of our hotelier, a B&B in the area.
At first glance the environment is not the most welcoming but the staff and the air of the house you breathe invites you to sit with a smile. Excellent some details (ceiling dresser tables) bad others (old aluminum doors pre-tile entrance).
As for the really special food! Typical cuisine of the homely and quality place, smell of wood and embers in the bacon, very tender and tasty tripe.
Complete wine list for all budgets, served with professionalism.
2 first courses, 2 second courses and a sweet 50 drinks not included.

Found by chance traveling to Arezzo, this tavern must be the grandmother's kitchen ... combined with the welcome and liveliness of the grandchildren! I tasted lush appetizers with an excellent assortment of cold cuts and an original selection of cheeses, including unique goats. And I discovered the peposo, masterfully cooked and served with porcini mushrooms! A ricotta cream with dark chocolate perfectly closed my experience at Giovanna, slowed down by an excellent Syrah from the La Braccesca estate, an experience to be repeated absolutely, and in the meantime to be recommended. Drop by.

Super restaurant recommended also and above all to tourists who want to savor the true flavors of our land, at a reasonable price.
Meat is the absolute protagonist, try the mixed grilled pork and why not a good fillet with porcini mushrooms to lose your head! The stoker's hand is wise while the staff are very nice and prepared. Excellent wine list. To come back as soon as possible!

Excellent and welcoming in the structure and also good Tuscan cuisine. Once it was more homemade, now more expensive and formal. After the award ceremony, the wine list has risen to the detriment of the kitchen. However it is a good choice in the province of Arezzo.

NO AMERICAN EXPRESS

NO AMERICAN EXPRESS
As soon as we arrived, given the short wait for the table, we were offered a glass of wine. The products are local and you can feel the genuineness. The meat is broken on the stump and cooked on the embers in the fireplace near the tables. Needless to say the softness of that meat (medium-sized tidy steak).
For two people: Two mixed starters, a first to divide by two, steak and mixed meat, side dish, two glasses, water, coffee, bitters paid 76

The food is of excellent quality and it is not surprising that the restaurant is among the best in the city. The context would have to be reviewed, some embellishment would be appreciated but the full house that is found every day certainly shows that good food can be consumed anywhere.
Low prices.

Perfect

A truly suggestive place, the whole wall covered with the wooden lids of famous wines ..... Smells and flavors of a traditional cuisine, abundant dishes but the incredible 5-star flavors in my opinion are few.

Just outside Arezzo, they advised me to try this osteria, I would say that the advice met my expectations.Good wine list, but it could not be otherwise, given the presence of the sommelier Martini. of my wife, she More

Great place for Meat. One of the best Bistecche I ever had. Reservations are recommended as it's a small restaurant and you don't wish to be asked to come back another day. Waitress was excellent and charming. They also have a really good wine list...

Local of a time that brings back to mind the house of the grandmother in fact the food is cooked like my grandmother cooked, very good, tasty, cooked well.
Top ravioli not to mention the magnificent Florentine.
It's my place in Arezzo.

Enchanting, qualitatively excellent products, stellar wine list level. Extremely nice and caring staff. Basically a jewel a stone's throw from home. The typical cuisine is exalted to the maximum, the quality / price ratio (even on wines) is excellent. Highly recommended. In the photos two typical dishes of the Arezzo area, livers and griffins!

I had never been to this place and would like to go back because it seemed pleasant. I took the "peposo" but found it a little different from what I was used to elsewhere. Good but different. Local, as mentioned, welcoming and kind staff. To try again.
N.B. Obviously the attached photo concerns an excellent beef tartare tasted in another visit of mine in the same restaurant
