Osteria dei Mercanti In Arezzo

Excellent restaurant, capable of satisfying many

Lovely spot in the heart of Arezzo with traditional Tuscan and Italian dishes — The food is generally very tasty and portions generous, with good value for money and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. but the service can be quite slow, especially on busy evenings, so it’s best to go with time to relax.

5 stars. We were a group with children. They welcomed us very well. Friendly and fast. Truly excellent dishes with typical Tuscan products and pizza. Perfect price. Highly recommended.

During a visit to Arezzo, we tried this restaurant. We had a truly delicious meal: traditional cuisine made with passion, everything delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. We returned the next day. Fair prices. Reservations recommended.

Excellent food, the service a little uncoordinated: when a plate with a mixed salad is brought to the table (even if there is chicken in the middle) it is best to put the condiments on the table, without having to ask for them 😉

Three stars because, all things considered, we didn't have a bad meal. The place is nothing special, a classic pizza restaurant. The service was extremely slow and incomplete: we ordered and they brought us water right away but no bread; we had to ask for it. Then they brought us a different appetizer than what we'd ordered, and the waiter almost blamed us. We had to forgo the side dish, otherwise we'd still be there. We had crostini all'aretina, ribollita, and cantucci with vin santo; everything was pleasant, but it didn't justify the eternal wait. Furthermore, the place was very, very loud. I understand that's not the restaurant owner's fault, but rather some of the customers', but when it gets too loud, I think there's nothing wrong with politely asking them to turn down the volume to make the evening more enjoyable for the other diners. All things considered, I wouldn't return.

We can rate three courses: crostini with cod and leek, and this is the only noteworthy course. They were good, and for €10, they cost four crostini. For the first courses, risotto with speck, and pappardelle with sausage, mushrooms, and tomato, which was definitely the same as the pizza since it had oregano. These are definitely dishes I wouldn't return for, but I would try other restaurants. As for the quality/price ratio, it's average. The wine was good, and the service was average.

Very central location. Excellent food and friendly staff. We've eaten there many times and will definitely return.

The place is truly welcoming and well-appointed. The staff was professional and kind, truly meticulous. Everything they served us was sublime, truly flawless for us. I recommend it to anyone in the area.

Very quiet place, kind and professional waitresses... good food: delicious mixed crostini, lasagna with pumpkin, sausage, and very delicate mozzarella, delicious braised Angus beef in Chianti, and decent house wine... Desserts were also very good... Chocolate and almond cake... excellent limoncello and reasonable price 🤩
