Pizzeria Rugantino In Pontedera

04/11/2025: I went there last night with my girlfriend. I found the atmosphere truly welcoming, with extremely friendly staff. I was also pleased to meet the owner, who is down-to-earth and very friendly. The menu offers a wide selection of appetizers, first courses (both seafood and meat), second courses, desserts, wines, and soft drinks on tap. One thing that particularly struck me, as a lover of fried food, was the small plates on the menu, including French fries, stuffed olives, mozzarella sticks, potato croquettes, and chicken nuggets. In short, the menu certainly doesn't disappoint! Another plus: despite the place being quite busy, the preparation time was perfect. Regarding the dishes, we had a pizza bianca with roast potatoes and a calzone. Both were delicious, perfectly cooked, with neither soft nor crunchy dough, and both light. I'll give a thumbs up to the calzone; it wasn't too full, with 7 kg of filling, but it was delicate, and when you get to the last few pieces, you don't feel too full. Last but not least, the profiteroles and berry cheesecake—nothing to say, simply wonderful! Finally, the prices are more than reasonable; for the quality/quantity ratio, it's definitely worth it. I highly recommend it, if you're not local and happen to be there, to try it at least once. Congratulations! ❤️
