Family-run, this eyrie in the hilltop village of Lamole, 8km east of Panzano and 9km southeast of Greve, offers its diners one of the most spectacular panoramic views in Chianti. Book well in advance to score a table on the terrace, where you can enjoy delicious contemporary riffs on traditional Tuscan dishes. The wine list is excellent, as is the service.
