Il Podere In Pisa

Business dinner, I didn't like almost anything. The dining room was old, with dated furnishings. The bathroom needs updating. There's work to be done... on all fronts.

This year we decided to spend Christmas at a restaurant. Usually, we choose to stay home. At Bacchus, we had a pleasant lunch, with a well-chosen menu, friendly and attentive staff, and excellent value. We were truly satisfied. We will definitely be back.

The restaurant is very well presented: there's ample outdoor parking, and crossing the street leads to a spacious and welcoming dining room. The location is well-kept, with plenty of greenery surrounding it, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The menu is available as a set or à la carte. I chose the full menu (first course + second course + side dish + water + coffee) for just €15, a truly fair price. I tried the penne alla boscaiola and the tomato meatballs with baked potatoes: home-style dishes, very flavorful. The meatballs were soft and delicious, the only shame was the presence of several small bones inside, a detail that somewhat detracted from the experience, though it didn't compromise the flavor. The service was attentive and professional, despite being managed by just one person who moved tirelessly between the tables. During peak hours, there can be a bit of a wait, but the commitment and helpfulness are evident. In short: authentic cuisine, excellent value, and a pleasant atmosphere. A place you'll gladly return to for a hearty, tasty, home-style meal.

Given that we go there often with the company, the food has always been decent, except last Thursday. The tomato sauce had a sour note, and my stomach noticed it. The service was acceptable, although a little confusing at times.

Quality food and well served, helpful and friendly staff.
