Beautiful local with tasteful decor from local artists. Excellent selection of boutique wines and…read morehard to find cheeses and salumi, as well as other light dishes. Very small space, can be noisy and cramped when it is full. Occasional evenings with live music can be nice but make the place even more crowded and discussion virtually impossible. Good service in general, but slow when the place is full. Prices are decent for the quality, although portions of both wine and food tend to vary wildly depending on who is working. Tightening up these little loose ends would easily merit a 5th star. Posto molto incantevole, arredato molto bene con opere d'arte fatto da artisti locali. Selezione eccellente di vini boutique e formaggi e salumi difficile da trovare, con altri piatti leggeri. Posto molto piccolo, può essere stretto e rumoroso quando è pieno. Serate con musica da vivo occasionale possono essere carine ma rendono tutto ancora più stretto e rumoroso. Servizio buono ma lento quando il posto è pieno. Prezzi onesti per la qualità, ma con porzioni che variano a secondo chi sta lavorando. Sistemando questi piccoli cosi porterebbe facilmente la quinta stella.

Highly curated selection of excellent, international cheeses, not just the usual Tuscan pecorino. Also featuring raw oysters and crudite of fish when in season. Other light dishes such as tartar and salads available. Outdoor seating in the summer and live jazz on occasion. Efficient service; can be a little bit cramped when the place is full, which is often. Also open as a wine bar throughout the day. Good value for money. Thumbs up. Posto invitante nel centro storico di Arezzo. Una selezione buona di vini buoni da Italia e Europa. Selezione eccellente di formaggi da tutta Europa, non solo il solito pecorino Toscano. Ostriche e crudite di pesce durante la stagione. Altri piatti leggere come tartara e insalate disponibile. Posti a sedere fuori durante l'estate e jazz da vivo. Servizio efficace; può essere molto stretto quando è pieno, che spesso succede. Wine bar durante il giorno. Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliato.

I was directed to La Formaggeria by a bartender in Corso Italia when I asked where could I get a…read morenice little salad for dinner. While they did have nice salads, this place was so much more! Small and quiet inside, with a few little tables outside, La Formaggeria has a bustling (take away) business in cheeses, a very nice wine selection, and a contingent of locals who hangout. There are daily dinner specials that sounded yummy and my salad was excellent -- topped with toasts of bread + zucchini + cheese. I very much appreciated that, although a single diner, I was given a nice table and afforded excellent service. The owner even popped by my table for a quick chat. And at the end of the night they refused to break my bill so that I could leave a tip -- saying it was appreciated but not expected. La Formaggeria is highly recommended.

Bottega Baracchi looks quite small from the street, but there are a large network of counters and dining rooms below street-level so don't be put off if you need to accommodate a large party or even just if the little bar area looks full. As I mentioned, we only had a snack, so I can't speak very knowledgeably about the food, but I will just leave a tip here. If you buy a drink during happy hour you are also welcome to partake in the snackies they leave out in the bar area! The day we came through, there were small pieces of pizza, toast with a spicy tomato sauce (kind of salsa-like, actually), spicy peanuts, cheese puffs, and a variety of small sandwiches with a variety of cold cuts and cheeses. It was a nice way to stave off some hunger before our late dinner reservation.
