We were very fortunate though. They had asked for RSVP and we didn't have it, but the nice staff gave us a table and asked to be done by 9pm. No Problem!! Another tiny quaint homey place with cheerful staffs. Everybody seemed to be part of the family or became family. We were hungry and it was our first night in Pisa, so we ordered lots! I wanted something warm, so I ordered a "soup", which became to be a bowl of mussels and clams placed on top of the piece bread soaked with soup. OMG, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! Like good licking finger good! We ordered the Caprese also and that was like another world! Their balsamic was like wine, but without the alcohol taste! We were already in love with their food. It's like two entrees already, but it's ONLY the appetizers. Our pasta eventually came and that was another story. It's beyond words on how delicious and perfectly made pastas were. It will never be the same when I'm back in the US! Like all the other places we've been to, we ordered panna cotta dessert and lattes. We opted for something different since it was her birthday. The panna cotta was light and refreshing, while the lattes are energizing. Ohhhh how I want more of that "soup". Please go if you're in the area!!!!

The cuisine is hearty, no frills, down to earth Tuscan fare. Everything is very reasonably priced, dishes range from EUR6-EUR9, while a liter of the tasty house wine is EUR6. The pork with roast potatoes was especially good. Very Pisan and atmospheric (check out the single Roman column in the middle of the dining room!). Highly recommended.

The Owner its serving and taking care of the dining room so there's always an extra attention to the tables , and the waiters follow the line very well. The menu is quite simple not to many dishes but you can be sure that what you getting its going to be good and carefully made. Very good quality of Beef , filet, Tenderloin. I had them and they were always good, always arrived at the table nice and warm and juicy . And what actually makes me very happy is tha fact that am a Medium Rare fans, but unfortunately even quite expensive restaurant does that point of cocking wrong. The temperature of the meet was always at the point as well and the side course I had like salads , porcini mushrooms where all good! They also have some very good Toscana red wine by the glass like Rosso Di bolgheri at a very good price . Cost : absolutely worth it . The price / quality you get I believe is the best in Pisa . And still you are at 200 meters far from the lining tower , and the old Beautiful center . Perfect for a nice walk in the charming center at night after a beautiful dinner in a nice small and delicious food restaurant !

The server was very attentive and explained that everything is compostable except for the wine glasses. They were slammed during the lunch rush and gave us 3 free crostinis to munch on while we waited for our food. We also ended up coming back at night for more Tuscan wine & a snack. We tried: A bottle of Chianti. They have a nice selection of local Tuscan wines. Tagliere Toscano: a selection of meats, cheese & crostino. Pappardelle al cinghiale: fresh ribbons of pasta with wild boar bolognese. You definitely need to try this dish while in Pisa. Tagliere di formaggi: selection of local cheeses with jam.

Come here to reminiss about the days when mei goring noodles were a stock standard part of your diet and watch how the Italian students get fed. This place puts out a spread of all sorts of things in pizza bread, salad, mystery sausage and mystery loaf to accompany your very very strong, very, very cheap cocktail. There is a restaurant here too but stick to the buffet side. The restaurant has too much red velvet and I don't trust red velveted restaurants. So summing up: Go here for a negroni.
