La Polveriera In Pontedera

The place is very beautiful and well-kept. The service is attentive, professional, and the timing is more than right. As for the food, unfortunately, after an excellent start, the quality gradually declined. The entrees, with homemade breads, butter, and three truly interesting tastings, were very welcome. The three standard dishes had two main problems: - the small portions. We left hungry despite having three courses plus a dessert, in addition to the initial freebies. The main course had no side dish (a potato slice). The appetizer was half a Portobello mushroom, with the stem removed. Too small. We also noticed unintentional portion differences (especially for the first course and dessert) between different diners. - the courses (first and second courses) arrived cold. The dish was cold, the sauce poured over it was barely warm, which meant that after two bites the dish was objectively cold. Too bad. We had high expectations, but unfortunately, it was a decline. We'll try it again.

I visited Pontedera during my vacation to Italy and hotel receptionists recommended this restaurant. I had the best experience of the trip. The food was amazing. People were very friendly and welcoming.

Refined and well-prepared dishes. Friendly but a little too prissy service. Tables are well-spaced. Prices are high. Located right in the center of Pontedera, so no parking.

A rather small, somewhat out-of-the-way restaurant, but extremely delicious. With super friendly and extremely professional service staff. The welcome from the kitchen left us wanting more. And we weren't disappointed! Small portions, but just right! The food was beautifully presented. The wine was perfectly selected to complement our menu. Highly recommended 👍

Intimate and well-kept atmosphere, excellent service, refined cuisine, aesthetically pleasing dishes! Innovative cuisine, two young but already very good chefs! We took the entire fish menu, excellent 10! Next time we'll do the meat one! Well done guys! Full speed ahead!!

Excellent restaurant just off the main street in Pontedera. A well-kept restaurant with professional, impeccable service. You can also eat in the internal garden, but the mosquitoes devoured us in 10 minutes, making it necessary to move to the inside dining room. We enjoyed the three-course seafood menu, and everything was excellent (perhaps the gyoza were a little undercooked). Otherwise, everything was very good: meticulously prepared, beautifully presented, and made with high-quality ingredients. We'll definitely return to try the meat menu. Well done! P.S. The background music wasn't to my liking... I'd much rather have some good jazz in the background.

A real treat if you enjoy fine dining. The service is very friendly and provides all the explanations you need.

A truly special experience, from start to finish. The welcome was warm and attentive, the service impeccable. Each dish tells a story: a perfect balance of creativity, technique, and flavor. The attention to detail is evident and palpable, both in the food and in the elegant yet distinctive ambiance. The chefs are young, passionate, and talented. It's wonderful to see so much energy and vision in the kitchen. A place worth discovering (and rediscovering). I'll definitely be back!

Going to La Polveriera is an experience. We had been there during the day and returned in the evening. What can I say? A magical atmosphere. Quality, refinement, thoughtfulness, so much kindness. They really deserve only compliments. Well done guys. See you next time... magic!

Top what not to say everything super! The two young chefs fantastic the waitresses top the food speechless! Fish tasting all life at the powder magazine
