Gelateria Artigianale Cipriani In Pistoia

15/01/2026: I've been there twice in very different contexts: midsummer and midwinter. In summer, you definitely enjoy the fabulous location nestled in the Tuscan hills much more. The view of the valley is splendid, the play of light and colors of nature really takes center stage. In summer, everything looks more beautiful, and this place definitely benefits from it. In winter, it's more of a "normal" restaurant. In summer, I ate at the buffet: good, with excellent local products, but rather average. In winter, I had classic dishes: a sampling of the new olive oil (very good), fried artichokes and cardoons, and a first course that revisited the carbonara on a large tagliatella stuffed with their own ricotta and artichokes—very good. The other diners had meat dishes; they raved about the lamb burger.

13/12/2025: 5 stars aren't enough. We ate wonderfully unique dishes that you can only find here, their own stuff or locally sourced, and the prices were definitely reasonable. The pici with wild boar ragu were delicious, and the mutton was from another planet. We'll go back and back and back again...
