Da Pellegrino In Montecatini-terme

Wonderful experience! I've never had a better Florentine steak. Frankly, the price was even too low for the quality of the food we ate. I HIGHLY recommend it!

We chose this restaurant on a beautiful Sunday in November, inspired by the numerous positive reviews, and I must say we were completely satisfied! We sat in the second room, more modern and welcoming than the entrance, and immediately appreciated the elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere and the kindness of the staff. Pappardelle with wild boar ragù, fried porcini mushrooms, a delicious roasted porcini mushroom cap, and the inevitable steak! A good red wine accompanied it, and a cream-filled millefeuille for dessert. What can I say... it was an absolutely satisfying lunch. We waited a bit for the meat, probably because the place was crowded, but it was absolutely worth it: quality produce, cooked properly, and beautifully presented... Excellent! The pappardelle with wild boar thrilled the kids, and the mushrooms were the icing on the cake of a lunch that simply leaves you wanting more. Considering the quality of the product, the bill seemed fair for what we ordered. Parking might be a bit difficult along the road that runs through this small corner of Nievole; I'd recommend arriving 10 minutes before rush hour. Otherwise, "Il Pellegrino" keeps all its promises and offers customers a totally positive experience! Top marks!

The priority was friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The atmosphere was clean and the service was friendly. The wine markups were more than fair, and the manager certainly deserves praise for that. Unfortunately, the steak was disappointing in quality—tasteless and bland—and in its cooking, with one side overcooked and the other perfectly cooked. I also didn't like the fried artichokes. I must admit, however, that the owner would have without hesitation cooked me another steak when he noticed my dissatisfaction. I promised myself I'd make a second visit in the near future, also to try different dishes I'd seen at other tables and give the legendary steak a second and final chance.

The owner was very kind and attentive, the staff was equally attentive, and the food was all excellent. The bill was reasonable for what you ordered.

After returning for the fourth time in the last four years, with about a year between each visit, I can confidently say that Il Pellegrino is now an absolute must-try in Val di Nievole. Without a doubt, it's the best steak you can eat from Pistoia to Lucca, and in my opinion, it even beats many Florentine steaks. The quality of the meat is top-notch, but what makes the difference is their way of cooking and seasoning it; every four times, it melted in my mouth! All the other ingredients are also top-notch; mushrooms and truffles with an authentic and intense flavor. The restaurant, after its recent renovation, is elegant and welcoming. Just as elegant, kind, welcoming, and very competent are all the staff, from the owners Lorenzo and Mirko, to the entire staff!! Put your GPS on and go there; it's a five-minute drive from the center of Montecatini, but you won't regret it! The price is also very fair for the quality of what you eat and drink... Recommended above all!!

Nice restaurant, very kind owner, a little cold atmosphere, but the food is really good and quality, the meat sublime, we will definitely be back, highly recommended

A restaurant nestled in the green hills of Pistoia; fresh, quality food expertly prepared; and attentive service throughout the entire stay.

One of the best steaks in the area. A special thanks to Lorenzo for his kindness. See you soon!

A welcoming and elegant restaurant, serving traditional dishes cooked to perfection. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and excellent value. Friendly and attentive service makes the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent! But a little expensive....
