I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Pistoia

09/09/2025: I dined at this restaurant two nights in a row. These were by far the best two meals that I had while in Italy. You can choose your lobster or whole fish from the display case. They debone your whole fish at the table. Every request to alter a dish or accomodation was fulfilled. One of my friends ordered the 800 gram tbone steak. It was presented on a sizzling platter. Another ordered their seafood linguine with lobster in a tomato sauce. He said it was the best pasta dish he ever had. I ordered the seafood platter in the picture. Seafood is almost always over cooked, especially calamari. All of the items were cooked perfectly so that they were done but not chewy. My second visit was with a group of 25. I approached the hostess at 7:30 pm during the dinner rush. The place was packed. I requested a reservation in 30 minutes for a party of 25. She gladly gave us the reservation and set up a table in the back room away from the crowds for us. We were all seated immediately. All 25 of the people said the food was amazing. I ordered the filet with peppercorn and walnut sauce. I could have cut the steak with a fork. The sauce was perfect, balanced and not overpowering. If you're in San Mangiano, or even passing by. I highly recommend. The restaurant also sits in the town square with outdoor seating and an attached desserterie owned by the restaurant.

08/09/2025: Stopped by for a quick bite to eat. Food and service did not disappoint. Servers were very nice. Pizza was delicious 😋

01/10/2025: A place to get together and eat well.

27/09/2025: La Caverna is a historic pizzeria and pizza parlor in Pistoia, open since 1977. It's well-known for its excellent pizza and affordable prices. From spring to October, you can dine outside under a beautiful verdant garden. Service is fast, and the waitresses are always smiling. It's very busy on weekends.

08/10/2025: I've never eaten so well. The owners are incredibly kind and helpful. I'll definitely be back.

08/10/2025: Dear Giorgio and Giada, you are the best of the best, I always choose you!!!

11/09/2025: This restaurant is highly recommended! The food and wine are impeccable, the service is excellent—you'll feel right at home here!

07/09/2025: A very cozy and typically Tuscan restaurant. Friendly, personal service (they also speak English) and really good food, excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

30/09/2025: I gave everything 5 stars because it's a simple, rustic place that maintains its tradition. I went there often many years ago and recently returned. The staff is very helpful and everyone is very nice. The pizzas are delicious, and I don't know what dough it is or how long it's leavened, but it's very light. I have a wheat intolerance, so I didn't have any problems, and I ate a lot. The only small flaw is that there's not much variety in the pizzas they serve, but they're still excellent. The dessert is also good! I hope to return soon. 🤗

27/09/2025: The quality of the cured meats is questionable, as are the schiacciatas, but they're still tasty thanks to the generous amount of oil. The platters arrived in abundance for the table size. The sparkling white wine and beer were decent. The tiramisu was definitely not homemade. Excellent place for a table. It's a place stuck in the past, and that's the beauty of it. We paid 25 euros each, and overall it was more than adequate.

28/09/2025: A very satisfying first time, with the option of choosing between a meat and fish menu at a fair price and high quality. The staff was quick, polite, and helpful. Highly recommended.

16/08/2025: We had a great time, they even accommodated our requests for some changes to the set menu. We ate very well, using quality ingredients. The price was great for what we ate!

29/09/2025: Who would have thought that Pistoia offered this kind of culinary experience? Really pleasantly surprised by this small, welcoming and cozy restaurant with its traditional but very elaborate cuisine. It's a bit like mom's cooking meets bistronomy. Adorable staff, prices a little higher than a classic restaurant but frankly justified by the quality of the products. Recommended!

28/09/2025: Very friendly staff Food was very good! It's out of the city center. But the prices are a little to high. Ive tryed more restaurants and prices was most like 35 euro here it was 48euro. Imo its to high ! Food was good but the white bread is a No

09/10/2025: Loved the place. Wine was good, waitress (Asia) was really awesome. I ordered a calzone. I come from USA an expected ricotta cheese in the calzone but they didn't have it available at all. I enjoyed the ham and and mozzarella cheese calzone with pomodoro sauce on the side. Come and say hi to Asia. (Since times are weird, I have to mention I'm unaffiliated with the politics, my Italian friends are awesome!

05/10/2025: Our tour guide recommended this place and we were not disappointed! They have so many options to choose from and what we had was delicious.

01/10/2025: Friendly service and delious food. Amazing

26/04/2025: Mamma mia che porzioni! Cibo buonissimo e super abbondante. Ammetto che tornassi indietro prenderei di meno ma solo perché veramente bei piatti!!! Ottimi i crostini, pappa al pomodoro e la tagliata. Io ho amato i fagioli

20/07/2025: The pizza is sliced, but it's truly delicious, with quality ingredients and creative options. There are no drinks on tap and only one dessert. The service is friendly, always accommodating and offering helpful recommendations. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long. The space is small, with little outdoor space.

12/07/2025: Delicious pizza and lots of choices. It would be nice to have a menu in English though.

04/10/2025: Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant experience. Unpresentable appetizers. Overcooked spaghetti with seafood. We reported it and they acknowledged that the dishes were unpresentable. Despite the fact that out of nine people, only one ate, and she ordered a Catalana (the only good dish). €35 per person, not including dinner! I'm sorry, but I strongly advise against it.

24/09/2025: It was a pleasant surprise. We ate deliciously and received such attentive service from the staff! We'll definitely be back. Thanks to Matteo and the entire staff!

17/10/2025: I ate a first course that was simply delicious.

15/10/2025: It's always a pleasure to stop here. The owners are very friendly and the food is excellent in a very pleasant establishment. The parking lot is quiet for the night.

05/10/2025: An unpleasant incident that left me truly perplexed, and for which I wouldn't recommend this place. I went to this pizzeria-restaurant and ordered a sandwich with hamburger, lettuce, tomato, grilled vegetables, and stracciatella. During the meal, some lettuce had fallen onto my plate, and only after I'd finished the sandwich (and I emphasize only after I'd finished the sandwich, if you read carefully; I hadn't noticed before, since the lettuce had fallen onto my plate) was I about to eat it when I noticed a dead bug on that lettuce (and if it's dead, it obviously won't move). It was a bug with legs, not a burnt piece of eggplant, as they would have you believe. I immediately notified the waitress, who went to report the incident to the kitchen. Shortly afterward, she returned, telling me that they'd told her to "don't worry, because they wash it." I don't doubt they wash it, but the fact remains that there was an insect on the plate. It can happen, of course, but what left me most disappointed was the complete lack of attention afterward: no one came to the table to apologize, nor was any kind of courtesy offered (a discount, dessert, any sign of consideration). I paid the bill in full, as if nothing had happened, and that's not at all an excuse to get a discount or anything else, because I don't need one. It's just a matter of knowing how to treat a customer. A real shame, because the place seemed welcoming and the sandwich was quite good—I say quite good because there was more salt than was appropriate… but an incident like that, handled so superficially, truly leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

14/08/2025: Very kind and friendly staff, young but know-it-all. The pizza is very, very good.

28/09/2025: The food isn't bad, but the prices are high for the location, the cold restaurant, and the service leaves much to be desired. Above all, there's no menu with prices, so you'll end up with surprises on the bill.

18/09/2025: Typical atmosphere with old-fashioned wood furnishings. Calm but friendly service. Tortelli with pecorino cheese and pears, excellent! 😋 Tagliata with mushrooms, good and tender! Prices are fair for the quality.
