Eating in Tuscany is as dreamy as it's reputation. The pasta in la Toscana is the best of the best. One famous types of pasta that comes from the region is the Pici pasta, it's hard to find outside of Tuscany, so you better try it while you're there. Their desserts often consist of Cantucci with Vin Santo or the Torta de la Nonna, both originally from Tuscany. Their is a lot of wild boar found in the Tuscan region, you will also see that mixed into the pasta on several menus, it's called chinghale, and it's delicious! As well as those dishes Tuscany is very famous for using a lot of Truffle in their cooking, I know, amazing, you really can't go wrong, the more truffle the better. 

One thing you should know is that the Tuscans don't cook with a lot of salt. It's mainly noticed in the bread. Now, I don't love eating food in general with a lot of salt and even I am not crazy about saltless bread, before you go thinking the bread is stale, it's not.
