Seafood charcuterie doesn't get better than the octopus carpaccio at Le Farfalle, a breath of fresh Tuscan air with a spacious, bright dining room and cheeky yet sophisticated waitstaff. The warm rosemary focaccia, housemade pastas and mains (ie roasted duck and sea bass) are all dreams on plates, and the extensive wine list makes for delightful pairings.
