Il Caminetto di Umberto

Caminetto hits the right balance: it’s a friendly place you could enjoy equally for a family dinner or, in the later hours, with your grown-up friends. The décor is much brighter than at Trattoria, with blond wood and tones of golden yellow throughout. The open, sunken dining room provides a vibrant counterpoint to some more sedate mountain restaurants, but can get loud late in the evening. The Tuscan kitchen sticks to the classics – think penne arrabiata or herb crusted rack of lamb – but turns out a few true gems like roasted duck with orange, nutmeg and dried cherries.
