Circolo Arci La Coppiola In Pistoia

16/06/2026: The cuisine is definitely the highlight. The dishes are refined and beautifully presented. The wine selection is also excellent. In my opinion, a restaurant where you spend €60 per person should pay more attention to the environment... because people don't go just to eat.

14/06/2026: I'll definitely be back! I had lunch with a friend at this place today, which we found really welcoming, cute, and spotlessly clean. The place has recently been renovated, and the acoustics have definitely improved. A special mention goes to the mussels with pepper: delicious and very fresh (a 9! I didn't give it a 10 only because many of them were just opening and we had to work a bit to open them). The spaghetti alla gricia was also excellent and delicious, getting full marks (9). A sore point, unfortunately, was the €25 mixed fried fish! For €25, I expect it to be delicious, especially since the shrimp were good, but only two, and the vegetables were passable (since they were seasonal, I would have preferred fried courgette flowers instead of the usual, slightly mushy carrots). The calamari was a disappointment: tough and impossible to chew, so much so that we had to leave it on the plate. When we got the bill, we mentioned this and were told that the calamari was "superior quality" and came from a specific location (which I can't remember now)... and that's why it had that texture (????????) You could taste the freshness, but honestly, for that price, I expected a much better texture, regardless of its origin. ​I'll definitely go back because the rest of the food was worth it, but next time I'll skip the fried food. ​
