Here's a guide to my favorite wine bars, trattorias, and special eating places along La Strada del Vino.



Look for my decal in the window. And tell them Divina Cucina sent you!












There are actually two Poggibonsi--a large industrial town and a smaller village. Poggibonsi is usually passed through on the way to San Gimignano, and is popular with sales reps because of its easy access to the freeway.

galleria Cavalieri Vittorio Veneto, 20

Reservations a must!

Michele Targi, shown here with his wife Letizia, is one of Tuscany's finest chefs. His restaurant is hidden away in a tiny shopping galleria in the new part of town near the Hotel Alcide. He has a huge following with locals. Traditional Tuscan food, but also a touch of his own creativity. Poggibonsi is often overlooked on the way to San Gimignano, but after eating at La Galleria you won't forget the exit.
