Coquinarius

This bistro-chic restaurant on a quiet street just behind the Duomo offers classic, deliciously prepared, interesting Italian food. The mixed antipasto platter and the desserts are divine, and the exquisite pasta dishes change with the seasons. Diners should keep in mind that primi piatti are the specialty here, and there are very few meat dishes on the menu. They also have a fantastic wine list—if you’re unsure, ask the well-versed wait staff for suggestions.
