Modern paintings carpet the walls like a jigsaw puzzle. Run for nearly 50 years by Silvano Bruci and his Bologna-born wife Bruna Grazia, in 2012 new owners took over by but have kept alive the Tuscany-meets-Romagna style and flair.
Even with the art, this place still feels a bit like a country trattoria. If you can, ask to sit in dietro (in the back), if only so you get to walk though the streetside cantina room and past the open kitchen and grill.
There are so many good primi it's hard to choose, but you can't go wrong with lasagne, penne al prosciutto punte d'asparagi (stubby pasta with diced prosciutto and wild asparagus tips), or ribollita.
Afterward, set to work on the cinghiale maremmana cipolline (stewed wild boar with caramelized baby onions) or baccalà alla livornese (salt cod covered in tomatoes and served with chickpeas in oil).
