Il Leccio

Nestled amid some of southern Tuscany’s most valuable Brunello-making vineyards, this small trattoria lays claim to a most impressive wine list, one that features both heavyweight vintages you'll see exported around the world and small secret labels you're unlikely to have seen elsewhere. Local wine producers flock here for that very reason. But the wine is only half the story; they also come for a menu that features such classic Tuscan fare as pappa al pomodoro (a thick bread-and-tomato soup), and bistecca alla fiorentina (the region’s famous t-bone), as well as more unexpected choices, including a perfectly crisp fried chicken that's worth the trip alone. The restaurant owns a small wine shop next door so you can take a bottle of your favorite new discovery to go. Closed Wednesdays.
