We will be in Arezzo for a couple of days in early October. Looking for some restaurant recommendations. From rustic family run to nicer, a little more formal. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Here’s what I wrote about Arezzo in a previous trip report. Have a great time!
Arezzo - 2 days: this is one of my new favorite towns. I had wanted to see Arezzo, and since they have two jousting festivals, one in early September, I timed my stay to be there for it. (When I first stepped into Piazza Grande where they were practicing the day before, I was sad that my husband was missing such a special event that he would have loved!) I stayed at small De’ Montetini B&B, and the location was perfect. I enjoyed taking many photos in the medieval portion of Arezzo, loved the jousting event & entire day’s activities leading up to it, and the food in this city was wonderful. My B&B host wrote down a few recommendations for me, such as Antica Osteria dell ‘Agania, and they were all good. (I couldn’t believe how many locals kept coming into Antica Osteria dell ‘Agania the night I was there!) There’s also an antique fair each 1st Sunday of the month, so both activities were happening that day. Arezzo is also a good uphill workout to be ready for Montepulciano!

Thank you Jean. That restaurant is on our list. Good to get some affirmation. We would have loved to be there the first weekend of October for the antique market but timing won't work for us. Thank you again.

Last fall we enjoyed Ristorante Aliciati in Arezzo and would recommend it. We were there on the day of the November antiques market..
