Ristorante Rafanelli In Pistoia

05/05/2025: Place visited for a ceremony and with an unusual temperature for the time of year; certainly in moments of greater heat and absence of rain it will be much more enjoyable. The restaurant has a very large room inside a glass veranda which allows a view of every surrounding promontory and the lake next to it. The food, refined but respectful of traditions, manages to be the protagonist: very generous and tasty portions, perfectly balanced between them. Side note: the 4 stars for the environment refer to the internal room which, thanks to the presence on Sundays, had a very high number of diners such as to prevent the understanding (sometimes) of the words exchanged at my table. All this is understandable, but certainly with more space between tables and an opening of the veranda (I presume with milder temperatures and towards summer) it can be mitigated. Despite this little thing, great praise for the service which has always been impeccable and capable of serving anyone without too many waits as well as recommending the correct quantity of courses. Very kind!
