Two-Michelin-Star Restaurants in Tuscany

Updated October 10, 2026 · Star counts and prices checked October 2026

Tuscany has 4 two-Michelin-star restaurants in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Italy: Il Piccolo Principe in Viareggio, Campo del Drago near Montalcino, Caino in Montemerano and Arnolfo in Colle di Val d’Elsa. None is in Florence, whose top table is the three-star Enoteca Pinchiorri. List last checked October 2026.

All four are out of town, on the coast or in the hills, so which two Michelin star restaurant in Tuscany suits you depends mostly on where you are staying: each is a proper excursion, a drive, a night in a country hotel or both. Below is what each costs, what to drink and how to get there from Florence or Siena. Each name in the table opens the restaurant’s prices on The Starred Bill, and each arrow its page on the MICHELIN Guide. For every starred restaurant in the region, one star included, see our page of Michelin star restaurants in Tuscany.

Il Piccolo Principe, Viareggio

The only one of the four by the sea, Il Piccolo Principe is the restaurant of the Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte on Viareggio’s seafront, where the Tuscan coast meets the Tyrrhenian. Chef Giuseppe Mancino, from Salerno, trained with Alain Ducasse at Le Louis XV in Monaco and has run the kitchen since 2005; it won its first star in 2008 and its second in 2014. His creative cooking is served at dinner only, as the six-course I Classici menu at €185 (about $210), or the eight-course L’Essenziale for less. The cellar holds more than 800 labels, from classic Tuscan wines to rarer bottles from abroad and small-grower Champagnes, and the sommelier puts together the pairings.

Getting there: Viareggio is about 100 km west of Florence, around an hour and a quarter by car, and regional trains from Florence take about an hour and a half; the hotel is a short taxi ride from the station. From Siena, allow about two hours by car. Pisa airport is around half an hour away.

Campo del Drago, Montalcino

Campo del Drago is the restaurant of Castiglion del Bosco, a Rosewood hotel on a Brunello di Montalcino estate, and its terrace looks over the hills toward the Val d’Orcia. Tuscan-born chef Matteo Temperini cooks with Tuscan produce only, including vegetables from the estate’s organic kitchen garden. The restaurant won its first star in the 2023 guide and its second in 2025, one of just two Italian restaurants promoted to two stars that year. The chef’s menu costs €260 (about $295), with a shorter menu and a vegetarian one for less. Wine is the estate’s own story: its single-vineyard Brunello inspires the menu, and the winery runs vineyard tours and tastings. Dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday; the dress code is smart casual.

Getting there: about 45 minutes by car from Siena and an hour and three-quarters from Florence. There is no practical public transport, so drive, book a transfer or stay on the estate.

Caino, Montemerano

Caino is a family restaurant with eight tables in Montemerano, a small medieval village in the Maremma, southern Tuscany’s wild, quieter corner. It began as Da Caino, a trattoria run by Carisio Menichetti, whose son Maurizio married the chef, Valeria Piccini; she took over in 1987, won a first star in 1991 and a second in 1999, and her cooking is still rooted in the Maremma. The tasting menu costs €210 (about $235), with a wine pairing at €120 (about $135), and the same menu is served at weekend lunch. The cellar, which Maurizio built in rooms beneath the old village square, is now run by their son Andrea and holds the family’s own wines alongside rare Italian and foreign bottles. Three rooms upstairs make it easy to stay the night. Dinner on Monday, Thursday and Friday, lunch and dinner at weekends; closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Getting there: the furthest of the four, about an hour and three-quarters by car from Siena and nearly three hours from Florence. The hot springs at Saturnia are a short drive away, so many visitors combine the two.

Arnolfo, Colle di Val d’Elsa

Arnolfo is the easiest of the four to reach, in Colle di Val d’Elsa between Florence and Siena. Gaetano Trovato opened it with his brother Giovanni in a palazzo in the old town; in 2022 it moved to a new building on the hillside opposite, with two dining rooms of six and eight tables and a mirrored-steel window that frames the town. Its four tasting menus, a vegetarian one among them, each cost €200 (about $225), at lunch too, and a wine pairing adds €160 (about $180). The new cellar holds 6,000 bottles and has a room for private dinners.

Getting there: about half an hour by car from Siena and under an hour from Florence. San Gimignano is a quarter of an hour away, so lunch at Arnolfo fits a day in the Chianti hills or the Val d’Elsa.

Are there two-Michelin-star restaurants in Florence?

Not at the moment. Santa Elisabetta, in the medieval Torre della Pagliazza at the Brunelleschi Hotel, kept its two stars in the 2026 guide but then closed; its owners call it a pause to rethink the restaurant, with no date to reopen. That leaves Enoteca Pinchiorri, Tuscany’s only three-star restaurant, as the city’s top table: its Espressione tasting menu costs €390 (about $440), and it is as famous for its wine cellar as for its cooking. Florence has 7 starred restaurants in all, listed with their prices on our page of Michelin star restaurants in Florence.
