Pepolino

The decor at Pepolino is nothing special, but as soon as the comely Italian waiters announce the specialties or pour a glass of chianti, this local favorite comes to life with good, old-fashioned Tuscan hospitality. Look no further than the tagliata di manzo, a superbly balanced sliced steak with arugula and shaved Parmesan. Although Tuscany isn’t celebrated for its seafood, the terrina di cozze—plump shelled mussels in a butter, garlic and parsley sauce—is a worthy digression.
