pepenero cucina in san miniato
San miniato, Pisa
30/08/2025: A very positive experience. Dishes you don't get everywhere else. The atmosphere and service are excellent. Try the savory plum cake with truffle and the coconut dessert with green apple chips.
24/08/2025: A very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere with appropriate background music. Impeccable service, attentive without being overbearing. Excellent dishes made with quality ingredients and refined presentation, yet with highly distinctive flavors. The appetizers and first courses are excellent. The wine pairings are perfect. The meat, both pork and beef, is absolutely tender and flavorful. Overall, a very positive experience.

La Pecora Nera
Montecatini-terme, Pistoia, 30-45€
27/08/2025: A truly special evening.
The staff were attentive, super professional, and kind.
The atmosphere was elegant.
The dishes were plentiful and excellent, with top-quality ingredients.
I highly recommend them and we'll be back!
The quality, price, and atmosphere were superb!
04/07/2025: Este es un restaurante con mucha clase. Llegamos a las 7 pm un jueves por la noche. Éramos sólo 2 y no teníamos reserva. Indicamos que no nos demoraríamos más. Amablemente nos dejaron cenar. Nos dieron una muestra de vino rosado de cortesía. Después de pedir nos trajeron un pequeño aperitivo compuesto por un huevo de codorniz, un trocito de atún, tomates y una salsa con tomillo. Era para morirse. También recibimos un pequeño plato con 3 panes diferentes. Compartimos un plato de sus ravioles caseros infusionados con miel y ricotta junto con una salsa de pecorino y tomillo. Yum. Yo pedí pan de naranja y mi amigo pidió lubina con costra de sal que fue fileteada en la mesa. La comida tiene una calificación de 5 y el servicio también. Después de cada plato se retiraban los platos y utensilios y se colocaban otros limpios. En general fue una gran noche. Creo que la calificación $$$$ no está justificada. Tomamos 2 copas de vino cada uno, compartimos un plato de pasta, cada uno tiene un plato principal y 1 postre por 125 euros. También recibimos una copa de rosado de cortesía y un aperitivo.

Bar Galligani Il Re Del Cappuccino
Monsummano terme, Pistoia
17/09/2025: It's been a long time since I've felt so uncomfortable. We dropped in by chance to chat with a friend, but we had to leave earlier than expected because we felt like we were being watched the whole time and weren't free to talk. The only positive thing was the cappuccino, but personally, I wouldn't order it so overflowing from the cup because it's impossible not to spill it while drinking. The customer service approach needs to be reconsidered.
09/09/2025: Nice coffee shop on the main road.
And the best cappuccino in Tuscany.

Bisteccatoscana
Pistoia, Pistoia
27/07/2025: We came to this restaurant with friends, intrigued by the photos and reviews.
A preface:
It's suitable only for lovers of authentic Tuscan Florentine steak. In fact, it offers a fixed menu:
a small entrée with a taste of excellent Panzanella, followed by Tuscan appetizers, some of which have been tastefully and refinedly reinterpreted, a grilled Florentine steak (calculated at 600g per person, so since there were four of us, the total weight was approximately 2.4 kg), side dishes of roast potatoes, cannellini beans, mixed salad, and, to finish, cantuccini biscuits and brigidini biscuits with Vin Santo.
The wine list is extensive, ranging from a Chianti in a flask to the most sophisticated Italian reds (and beyond).
The restaurant is stunning, elegant yet very welcoming. The owner and staff are highly knowledgeable and particularly friendly and welcoming. In short, we had an excellent Sunday lunch.
One thing the owner is keen to point out during his quick introduction: the (exposed) fireplace uses only oak wood, no other wood, much less charcoal or similar.
Furthermore, since the restaurant opened in 2009, the grill has only cooked Florentine steaks, no other meat!
Finally, the price: all this quality (and abundance) at the fixed price of €50 per person, excluding wine. We spent €113.50 per couple. Price/quality/service ratio: excellent.
27/07/2025: A time-tested format, a fixed menu with Tuscan appetizers, Florentine steak, side dishes, and desserts for a total of €50 per person.
The appetizers and side dishes were excellent and plentiful. The meat was good, but not as excellent as I remembered the last few times I came, which is why I didn't give it the highest rating.
Obviously, this is just my personal preference, as I found it overcooked and therefore slightly tough on the outside.
Excellent service.

Trattoria Sandrino
Pescia, Pistoia
06/09/2025: Highly recommended trattoria, specializing in meat and game dishes, with fresh mushroom dishes in season. Excellent value.
05/09/2025: Unique! The food is absolutely excellent—better than any other very good Italian restaurant I've ever had in Italy, or even much more expensive Italian restaurants in Munich.
Scaloppine al Limone—my absolute favorite dish—amazing!!
Oh, and the prices—very reasonable, super fair.

Trattoria Manero
Pescia, Pistoia
01/09/2025: When we called to make a reservation (afternoon for dinner), we were informed that they do not offer a pizzeria service, only a restaurant. Ok, we go. We order two lasagnas and a fried food with a side dish. The lasagna arrives on a plate, a typical square portion, divided in two. We think we have not been clear. We continue with a second course. For dessert, no choice, either tart or crostata. They arrive cold and marmalade. I would like to point out that during dinner we see pizzas flocking to almost all the tables... (communication two hours before, no pizza). The bill is a surprise: the square of lasagna costs 30 euros because 2 are charged (??). The place is nice, but the honesty is poor.
10/08/2025: Very good food, local specialties. The mixed antipasto was good and varied. The first courses were excellent. The meat was good. Service was average. Excellent value for money.

Fame Chimica
Quarrata, Pistoia
04/07/2025: Super everything from the food to the place
29/06/2025: I was there last night with friends and I found the place run down outside and dirty and smelly. Big sandwich but expensive for the quality of the ingredients... too much mayonnaise and ketchup covering the fried chicken. With the sandwich I took chips and beer... more than €20!!!! .... but this is crazy... moreover eating outside on ruined and dirty wooden or plastic benches and tables in a context that is not good at all for how much I spent... first and last time... for me to avoid!!!

La Baita
Massa e cozzile, Pistoia
11/09/2025: Excellent experience. To be repeated.
05/09/2025: The food was good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Prices, as is often the case in Italy, remain quite high. As for the service, one of the waitresses was a bit rude, and conversation with her wasn't pleasant at all, as she responded in an annoyed manner.
