If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan experience,you can do no better than La Bucaccia in Cortona. The husband and wife team of Romano and Agostina(he handles the front of the house and she runs the kitchen) are always ready with home-made Tuscan specialties and a warm welcome for guests.The restaurant is located in a charming cellar in the heart of the ancient hilltown of Cortona. The pasta is made fresh daily and the cheeses are also made on site. The menu, which changes according to what is fresh in season, provides all sorts of interesting varieties. One thing not to be missed is the Pecorino cheese baked in the oven with various toppings,(mushrooms,truffles,pears and pine nuts). An excellent and reasonably priced wine list ,heavy on Tuscan, but with a good selection of wines from other regions of Italy is available. Romano is always extremely attentive to all his guests and goes out of his way to insure that every one leaves satisfied. Highly recommended!
