Caffè Valiani In Pistoia

28/03/2026: Once upon a time, there was a sidewalk near the Public Slaughterhouse. A "grassroots" entrepreneur realized it was a good place for a bar and something more, and set up a small shack where you could eat sandwiches or little more. It worked for decades, even after the Slaughterhouse closed (there was a theater nearby, a craft workshop, a church...), but times change. Instead of closing, Rita and Paolo took over and renovated the shack, tastefully furnishing the small interior space and filling the outside with armchairs and tables. Now the place retains its pleasantly temporary appearance, but it's welcoming, friendly, and frequented by patrons from all over the world (a stone's throw away, besides the theater, is the Poma multipurpose cultural center, also founded by Rita and Paolo). It's back to how it once was, and better than ever.

18/11/2025: Pomina Bar is always a sure thing. It overlooks the splendid Church of San Francesco, in the heart of Pescia, offering a truly enchanting atmosphere. The place is very welcoming, as is the staff, always kind and helpful. The food is excellent, with high-quality cured meats that enhance the experience even more. A highly recommended place for a pleasant break.
