Local Restaurants
Like anywhere else in the world, restaurants in the Gaiole Comune come and go; but as of Spring 2015 there were 16 restaurants and 2 cafe bars in the immediate locality, 6 in the town and 10 in the surrounding villages and hamlets. The village restaurants are all within a 5-10 minute walk, and the outlying ones all within a 10 -20 minute car ride (or less than an hour on the bike!) They range from simple pasta to special occasion fine dining.
Dining In and Snacks:
There there two delicatessens in Gaiole, the best in our opinion is Cosa Buone opposite the Co-op and serves hot virtually restaurant quality food, and usually has a choice of at least three main course dishes.
There are also two cafes in the piazza, Bar Central and Buccone; both serve snacks. Bar Whiskey on the main road opposite Bar Jolly also serves pizza.
The pizza Take-Away just beyond Bar Jolly is excellent and cheap. Our family think it is the best pizza they have ever tasted!
We can also offer you contacts for full in-house at home dining with traditional cuisine.
