Octavin Tuscany

Octavin sits at Scalinata Camillo Berneri, 2, just a five-minute walk from the shops of Corso Italia. It holds a Michelin star.

The dining room runs smart and elegant, but the focus remains strictly on a classic Mediterranean and Italian repertoire. While most kitchens nearby lean heavily into the tourist-heavy sprawl of the Piazza Grande, this address offers a more disciplined experience. It is quieter than the trattorias lining the main thoroughfares, which matters if you want to actually taste the food rather than just escape the midday heat. Choose this over the bustling piazzas if you prefer a focused, singular approach to local ingredients over the convenience of a central square.
