The host was gracious. It was a bit warm and after seating us, they brought a fan. Our server, Baker, was courteous and very attentive. The food was very nice. I loved the bruschetta and gnocchi. A big thanks to all of the staff for a wonderful experience. read more

Nice place for dinner. Loved the atmosphere and staff. Enjoyed the food. Lovely evening with friends and family.

I do not recommend this place. The fresh pasta "macaroni" are pieces of lasagna pasta (see picture). The "salamino piccante" is actually pepperoni (worse than dominos IMO). They will aggressively ask you to tip, but the service is awful. Easily the worst meal I've had in Italy. Ambiance is loud and not conducive to talking. read more

Very friendly staff, delicious food and amazing view. Special vibe at the evening.

The food is pretty good for lunch right where the leaning, Pisa Tower is. We ordered fried calamari (crunchy and not too salty), a lunch special (that comes with a small slice of cheese pizza, a slice of bruschetta, and a drink [my wife picked Spritz]), seafood spaghetti, grilled chicken breast, omelette with vegetables, and a salame pizza, a large (0.75 liter) still water , and a glass of pineapple juice. All that for 4 people. The food is tasty. I do not recommend the pineapple juice as it's a small glass that costed €5.50. My seafood pasta was tasty but the shrimps were tiny. They gave us a lot of complimentary bread. I enjoyed the fried calamari which was crunchy, fresh, not oily, and not too salty but that didn't come with red or white sauce (may be that's an american thing?? but I didn't bother to ask). Our server, Baker, was wonderful and friendly who speaks English well. He was very honest to me when I was about to order a set of food with the seafood pasta option and he told me it's a big meal combo but if I want just seafood pasta, I can just get that for €19 instead of the set of meal for €33 so I do not spend extra money on all the food I may not finish. I went for the seafood pasta only. He was right, I was full after all that. Overall, we enjoyed a quick sit-down lunch outdoor with umbrella shade. Baker, thank you for your wonderful service. We left tips for him which he surely deserved. read more

Think twice before dining here. The waitress who began taking our order was very sweet, but our experience quickly soured. There were six of us, and we placed an order totaling about €130--more than enough food for six people. Yet the so-called owner/manager rudely interrupted and told us we couldn't share food--that everyone had to order something. This policy felt both ridiculous and unwelcoming, especially since "no sharing" was never stated on the menu. For context, it wasn't about being cheap--we just wanted to eat light and not waste food. The food itself was nothing special--completely forgettable and not worth the trouble. We only wanted a quick bite, not a FORCED full meal, but the attitude and rules ruined the experience. To make matters worse, after our meal while my partner was drafting a Yelp review, the owner/manager was literally looking over his shoulder. She then confronted him, very upset, and caused a commotion that embarrassed us deeply--people were staring as if we were the worst customers trying to ruin her business. Instead of professionalism, we were met with hostility. A little class and good customer service go a long way. Unfortunately, this place had neither. Rude and unpleasant from start to finish. read more

After walking around for over two hours we stopped by for lunch. It's very close to the leaning tower of Pisa. We chose to sit outdoors area cause it has an amazing view of the tower. We ordered a plate of salami to start with and really enjoyed the flavors. The rest of the food we ordered was pretty average. The service was slow and unfriendly. Maybe they are tired of serving tourists all day. Who knows .......tourists keep them in business though so they gotta do better ... Overall the atmosphere is great, with the best views of the tower.... Really enjoyed our lunch here. read more

TLDR: Is it a tourist trap? Yes. Buttttt stick to the basics and you just might be ok! Visit: Weekday Lunch Order: 1 Liter Draught beer- 7.1/10 Huge liter glass akin to what you'd find in Germany. Came out cold and was quite decent on a hot day. Limoncello- 6.1/10 Basic, alcohol/lemon/spritz Calamari- 7.1/10 (when you add salt, black pepper, lemon to taste) All in all, while on the expensive side, this wasn't a disappointment. It badly needed seasoning but it came out hot and crispy! Pici Cheese and Pepe Pasta- 7.1/10 Came out surprisingly hot and fresh! Definitely needed additional salt and pepper, but if you season to your taste, it was actually okay lol. All in all our server was friendly. The food, well, it wasn't bad lol. Not good. Not horrible. Adequate. My suggestion is to avoid the pizzas, because from the looks of it, they're probably on the doughy side. If I had to come here again, I'd probably get a side of marinara sauce and add the calamari onto the bread with the sauce and some S&P/lemon to make an monstrous Ghetto Italian American poboy. Don't judge me. I bet it's gonna be the recommendation to save your meal here. Hit me up with a like on this review if I'm right! read more

This is one of the closest restaurants to the leaning Tower of Pisa. After exploring the tower and all the museums surrounding it we decided to have a light lunch. We were seated right away, I was surprised to see they had plenty of tables available, there are so many tourists in this area. We grabbed a table that allowed us to see the tower as much as possible. All the tables have umbrellas, which block the view of the tower itself,but you can still see it if you lean to the left far enough LOL Service was not that great, and the food was nothing to cry home about. Like I said, we had a light lunch which for me was a pizza and a salad. I cannot even remember what my husband had. but the pizza wasn't very good. I also deviated from my usual red wine and had a glass of crisp white, which was surprisingly decent. This is a very touristy restaurant, they do not concern themselves with offering great food, just passable enough. It seems they feel the view should be enough. Prices didn't seem to be hiked up at least, which was a good thing. I would've hated to pay more for mediocre food. read more

I'll be nice on this one. We came to this restaurant KNOWING it was not the most authentic and best food that you can get in Italy. We were done with our sightseeing and it was the closest restaurant to us, the only qualification it needed. I mean, c'mon, it's literally located right next to the Tower of Pisa, you could be eating complete garbage and have one of the most beautiful views. They had a very large and extensive menu, with just about any Italian cuisine you could think of. Funny enough, they even had an entire page dedicated to souvenirs you could buy, like keychains and statuettes. I ordered the salami pizza, and it was very good. I also tried their house white wine, and it was very nice as well. The service was pretty much nonexistent, but this seems to be a recurring thing in Italy, since servers generally do not receive tips. However, we did have to pay a sitting fee, so I did expect to have better than what we did. It was also a little annoying to see a few people trying to sell things to tourists, approaching them while they were eating...Luckily this didn't happen to us, but it seems as if the staff is aware of this and just lets it happen. Basically, don't come here with high expectations. Don't come for the "Ultimate Italian cuisine experience". Come here if you're just looking for some good food with a nice view. read more

Extremely poor service. Our waiter Baker refused to serve us and instead tended to other people who arrived after us. After waiting over 20 minutes for Baker to finally take our order he seemed uninterested in serving our table and instead tended to others who arrived after our family. We finally confronted Baker after 40 minutes of not receiving our meals and he argumentatively told us to wait and that in "5-minute countdown" he would perhaps give us our food. We were on a time crunch at this point and told him we had to leave soon which seemed to anger him. Only after having to confront the front desk did we finally get our pizzas to-go and we pre-paid our meals. Baker was rude, unprofessional, and seems to not understand how to perform basic customer service. Please save your sanity and avoid this restaurant at all costs. It has definitely soured our trip to Italy. read more

Horrible service. Had to ask for our drinks. And they are so close to the tower. The male waiter is great but the two women need some service training! read more

This place's food was not good. Please don't waste your money here. Small portions, salty, and flavor is really bad for Italia.

I've had better pizza elsewhere. Or, to be more clear, I've had better pizza almost anywhere. However I've seldom had a better view than from the outside seating area where you have direct line of sight to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. My single sample of the pizza may be no indicator of the quality of the rest of Antonietta's food however. On this day, the beer and the average pizza with a clear view to the tower was all good. PS. 15% gratuity automatically added - be advised. read more

I ordered the gnocchi caprese. Half of the gnocchi were hard as a rock, and I thought I was going to chip a tooth if I kept eating them, so I only ate half of the dish. Now, I don't expect to get the meal for free, and they did offer to get me something else (but I wasn't going to take my chance with something else). They wouldn't even take half the meal off the bill. Don't go to this place! read more

3 1/2 stars. This really needs that ability. Lol Nice break while in town for pizza and an Italian Beer for a change. Unlike most of Italy, I had quick service here. Mostly because they were not as busy this time if the day. But good pizza. read more

Probably my worst food experience in Italy! I ordered the carbonara, and it tasted like mac and cheese. Not that I mind mac and cheese, but I didn't go to Italy for mac and cheese. My fiance ordered a pizza but I got my food and finished it before she got her food, and we got the explanation that the pizza makers and the restaurant is two different things. So strange! Too top it all of, the waiters were in the middle of a huge argument, my guess about the tables and the owner didn't care much about the loud voices. It's a shame, because the location of the restaurant is perfect, and you can see the tower and the basilica. read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch after visiting the tower of Pisa - the view from the outside tables is amazing. I only read the reviews once we had sat down and ordered so I was a little worried about what we were about to eat. However, the pizza ended up being decent - it's not amazing, but not terrible by any means. If you want to dine somewhere with a great view this is the place. If you are looking for a meal to blow your mind I would go elsewhere. read more

Location location location. This place is located just steps from the leaning Tower of Pisa. The outdoor seats afford you a great view of the tower and church and courtyard and of course the people! People watching can be done quite easily from this place! We didn't go here for the 5 star cuisine. It was convenient and they offered " Tourist Special". A pizza and soft drink for €6 plus a full menu. We were seated promptly but they seemed to have forgotten us as we waited about ten minutes and no contact from anyone. I finally got up and asked the host if we had a waiter? We had to catch a train so time was of the essence. When they finally got around to taking our order the food came out hot and good. We were surprised by how tasty the food was! Now, I wouldn't expect to be knocked off your seat but they provide a pretty good meal with a killer location. They would have gotten 5 stars if the server hadn't forgotten about us at the beginning. We would go back. read more
