The primary allure of this bright modern address is its hidden red-brick courtyard, complete with romantic potted lemon plants and parasol-shaded tables in the sun. When the weather doesn't behave at this upscale food market, deli and health-food shop, eat between shelves stacked high with local Tuscan products inside.
