They catch the fish they cook daily and cook it a simple, delicious way that will make your mouth water. They brought out the fish flapping on the plate to show us what kind they use than began with a delicious seafood appetizer, pasta with seafood, fresh fish second and great Vermentino, white wine to go with it. Fancy this place is not, but it doesn't need to be, considering the quality of the food and the affordability of the prices. If you are looking for a truly spectacular place to eat near Pisa ( this is in the Marina di Pisa, about 10-15 minutes away from the center) than hop in the car/taxi and stop here to eat.

The…read moreservice was incredible, the view was beautiful, price was on point for what we received, the food was delicious & the overall experience was 10/10. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you were a tourist like us who saw all the same foods along that strip of beach. We ordered a bottle of Bruno Michel rosé champagne and it was also very good. They served it chilled and brought a bottle cooler to the table to accompany our bottle. They accepted cash and card, you pay inside (so don't sit and wait at the table like I did). It's right on the beach with outside seating and plenty of space. You can't go wrong eating here!

Some Italians who live in Pisa took us to their favorite restaurant in the area, ristorante "Da…read moreGino." It was incredible. The atmosphere and decoration is simple and cozy and I wouldn't have believed that the food was going to be so amazing if I wasn't with Italians. First we started off with a multi-course starter, each a perfect portion of unique seafood. There was some raw seafood, followed by a baked dish, some shrimp, and calamari. I've only had fried calamari before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But this was perfect in a very light sauce that didn't drown the flavor of the calamari and was very soft and not chewy. Then I had some lobster pasta which was AMAZING. Unfortunately, at this point I was too full and with the lack of sleep (from flying to Italy on a midnight flight) and just couldn't manage to eat the second course of more seafood. Too bad! But there was just a little space for dessert... I had walnut ice cream. It wasn't very creamy and almost crumbled when we took a spoon full! This was another of my most memorable and favorite meals in Italy. I think this is probably the best restaurant in the area of Pisa.

Okay so pretty random for an American to end up here but I ended up knowing a local who showed me…read morethis spot and I'm so happy I came !! I've probably been here around 10 times when I was in Italy. Apparently this spot is incredibly popular by the locals during the summer who go to the sea for vacation from the interior cities like Firenze. In fact, reservations during the summer can be extremely tough to get. Best Italian food I've ever had and the fixed menu was incredible and such a good deal! Basically on the fixed menu you get (in my case between two people) two plates of pasta, either spaghetti allo scoglio or alle vongole and then between penne agli scampi or penne ai gamberi , followed by a mixed calamari platter with french fries and fried shrimp, water, and then either still or sparkling wine. Oh and a coffee to finish off the meal right! All of that food for around 15 euros. (Tip/ tax included). Although the pasta can be a bit too oily, it's honestly the best tasting one I've ever had in my life. It's probably one of the biggest things I miss the most in Italy ! Then the fried platter reminds me of something America would do. Far from healthy and the quantity is enormous. If its just two of you, you probably won't finish it. Still so good, nonetheless. Service for Italian standards was really good ! Nothing out of the ordinary but their still super friendly. If you're in the area, Italian or not , be sure to give this place a try!! You won't regret it, I promise! Most local restaurant you'll experience in Italy at an excellent price. Come hungry! Tip: If you're American and don't already know, it's extremely encouraged to make a reservation !! Make sure to ask for the "menu fisso"!

We tried their daily special: fresh spinach tagliolini pasta served with salty creme and squid, it was delicious and soft. Also being a sunny day, the view was relaxing. Their shellfish fry is light and not oily. Very recommended during low seasons, when you can enjoy the silence and beauty of this place.
