TODI: Vineria San Fortunato +39 392 3714140 Via dei Condotti. This small wine shop with kitchen offers an excellent selection of the best wine producers in the area and some very selected producers from all over Italy. The food is all homemade and the 6pm aperitif is not to be missed. At the foot of the church of San Fortunato, it is the best time to observe people on a summer night.

BREAKFAST AND APERITIF

Wherever you see Bar in Italy, it is in fact a Café. The fancier ones are around the TODI square (15 miles away – 25 minutes by car). They will not serve a cooked breakfast but you will have a selection of sweet pastries (croissant) or savory sandwiches (tramezzino) to choose from to have with your coffee, cappuccino, macchiato etc…. In most cases you can also have an aperitif sitting at the tables on the square with some snacks. Try an Italian favorite, Spritz (Spreetz), Aperol Cocktail, Prosecco and soda with a fresh slice of orange.

In COLLAZZONE there is only 1 bar where you can have an aperitif or breakfast with some pastry, coffee, cappuccino, tea, juices … the Montecristo Bar (10 min walk), in the main square in front of the Church. Not a luxury bar but the quality is fairly good. It is the meeting point for the Collazzonesi. You can meet and mix the residents in their daily life.
