Go south of Sienna to the town of Costafabbri, home of one of the areas great restaurants - Osteria il Cantuccio. The food is great and quantities are large. The chef/owner, Nilo aims to please and does not miss a beat! Spending a week at a farmhouse in Tuscany, we visited the restauarnt three nights. Every time was more wonderful than the previous.
