Location: A spacious restaurant 30 seconds from the train station and very close to the historic center of Pontassieve. It features two main rooms, a small private area, and an outdoor area adjacent to the main road in the summer. The interior is decorated in a rustic, welcoming, and warm Tuscan style.
Food: The menu features both seafood and meat dishes (though not predictable), but the pizza is my favorite. It's well-risen and easy to digest. The menu offers a wide variety of tasty and innovative options, often based on seasonal ingredients. A staple in several courses is the bardiccio, a typical local sausage, flavorful and definitely worth trying.
Service: Courteous, punctual, and helpful.
In summary: My wife and I often frequent Bastian Contrario for the excellent variety of pizzas they offer, the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the attention to ingredients, and the beer pairings.

I had some very good takeout pizzas.
Excellent dough, tasty, and not too acidic tomato sauce.
Well done!

An appetizer neither good nor bad, with an atypical Tuscan crostini and good cold cuts. The pizza 🍕 has a quality dough. It's unknown whether Tonarelli has ever been there with Puma, Bindone, and Meandrus.

A pleasant surprise! Excellent food, a variety of dishes, fish, meat, sandwiches, and pizza. The beef stew is exquisite! A special mention for the young woman who looked after us throughout the evening. It's a shame we didn't ask her name! Kind, friendly, professional, and sweet, which never hurts.
A restaurant where you immediately sense the care and attention they give to their customers. I'll be back.

Wonderful Italian restaurant with really good pizza. On Friday evenings, from around 8 PM onwards, it's packed with Italians.
