Scopri il migliore ristorante di cucina cucina toscananella città Calci della Pisa

30/07/2025: I waited a good two years to write this review, hoping to get over my disappointment, but I can't... I'm shocked to see 5-star ratings. However, I believe that at Conventino they capitalize on the town's loyal customers and on "very" foreign tourists infatuated with Tuscany, for whom mediocre cuisine can seem like "good Tuscan cuisine"... Two years ago, I had a foreign guest, and I hoped I'd land on my feet, as they say, by taking him to a well-established restaurant in the area. He, I repeat, a foreigner, from the Nordic lands, enjoyed the dinner. I, a Tuscan, a native, someone who knows how to cook and has traveled the country, the country, and even the world enough to recognize poor quality food and service, instead found: • ravioli that looked like packaged ones (and maybe they were: the kind you get at A Zona Market, for catering, but bought ready-made, not made by them!) • mixed platter with ham sliced a little too long ago • pappa al pomodoro, for two, on a small pebble the size of a spoon but which managed to be half hot and half ice cold. • ice bartalucci. • the best now: beautiful wide-rimmed plates, on which, however, the reflection of the light clearly showed so many paw prints; "finger" prints (not finger prints...) that simply gave off a very dirty impression. I HOPE my guest had a different perspective on things, that it saved him from that sight. Either that, or he was gentlemanly enough not to point out the evidence of poor hygiene. Well...what can I say? I strongly suspect that the restaurant is still riding the wave of past and lost glory. Every time I pass by or hear about it, I tell myself that the locals must really love the managers/owners (I don't know what they are) to continue promoting this place and even frequent it. The long faces of the staff are also uninviting: three people who seemed like family. They treat people as if they were annoyed by the people who earn their living... But there's no danger, because I'll only return to that place if it changes management, since, if improved, the atmosphere would be beautiful.
