I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Pistoia

27/07/2025: We came to this restaurant with friends, intrigued by the photos and reviews. A preface: It's suitable only for lovers of authentic Tuscan Florentine steak. In fact, it offers a fixed menu: a small entrée with a taste of excellent Panzanella, followed by Tuscan appetizers, some of which have been tastefully and refinedly reinterpreted, a grilled Florentine steak (calculated at 600g per person, so since there were four of us, the total weight was approximately 2.4 kg), side dishes of roast potatoes, cannellini beans, mixed salad, and, to finish, cantuccini biscuits and brigidini biscuits with Vin Santo. The wine list is extensive, ranging from a Chianti in a flask to the most sophisticated Italian reds (and beyond). The restaurant is stunning, elegant yet very welcoming. The owner and staff are highly knowledgeable and particularly friendly and welcoming. In short, we had an excellent Sunday lunch. One thing the owner is keen to point out during his quick introduction: the (exposed) fireplace uses only oak wood, no other wood, much less charcoal or similar. Furthermore, since the restaurant opened in 2009, the grill has only cooked Florentine steaks, no other meat! Finally, the price: all this quality (and abundance) at the fixed price of €50 per person, excluding wine. We spent €113.50 per couple. Price/quality/service ratio: excellent.

27/07/2025: A time-tested format, a fixed menu with Tuscan appetizers, Florentine steak, side dishes, and desserts for a total of €50 per person. The appetizers and side dishes were excellent and plentiful. The meat was good, but not as excellent as I remembered the last few times I came, which is why I didn't give it the highest rating. Obviously, this is just my personal preference, as I found it overcooked and therefore slightly tough on the outside. Excellent service.

27/07/2025: The meat is spectacular, the mushrooms are good, the place is good, quality comes at a price... it's better to spend a little more and eat well than to save 20 euros and eat rubbish.

09/07/2025: Great atmosphere, good service and delicious food . Best bistecca !!! Highly recommended

29/07/2025: Amazing Italian dinner for 2 Canadians

24/07/2025: It was a very good restaurant. The duck foie gras was superb, and I think it was the first time I've ever eaten anything so delicious in my life. Every bite was intoxicating. The male staff member's knowledge and careful advice were also very good.

18/08/2025: My favorite pizzeria in Pistoia

15/08/2025: Excellent Neapolitan pizza, made by a Neapolitan pizza chef. Light and tasty fried pizza.

04/08/2025: The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly

31/07/2025: A very nice restaurant with great italian food.

09/08/2025: A typical Tuscan trattoria like you've never seen before. They serve very good, quality food at reasonable prices (a rarity these days). The quality is superior, and the staff is friendly, courteous, and communicative. At Gina's, you'll find the philosophy of fine Tuscan dining (like it used to be). Enjoy! 😁 Greetings from the Bearded Florentine

07/08/2025: I was in Montecatini for a short vacation and wanted to eat at a local trattoria. I chose Gina's and had a really good time. The pasta was homemade with an excellent sauce and the staff were very friendly. I recommend it.

24/06/2025: We tried three different types of mussels and they were all really good: very fresh, well cooked and full of flavour. The octopus was a very pleasant surprise – tender, fresh and perfectly prepared. The yogurt sauce gave it a light and balanced touch, making the dish refined but at the same time tasty. Accompanied by a good glass of white wine, it was a truly enjoyable dinner. The desserts also proved to be up to the rest of the meal: well presented, delicious and prepared with care. A round of applause also to the staff: kind, helpful and at the same time very professional. Attentive and friendly service, which really makes the difference. Congratulations!

01/05/2025: Il ristorante, situato nel cuore di Pistoia, è curato nei minimi dettagli. Il personale si distingue per la sua accoglienza e professionalità. Abbiamo avuto l’opportunità di assaporare numerose pietanze, tra cui le cozze, che si sono rivelate particolarmente eccellenti. Oltre alla specialità delle cozze preparate in molteplici modi, il menù offre un’ampia selezione di piatti a base di pesce sempre di alta qualità e alcune opzioni dedicate agli amanti della carne. La qualità del cibo è ottima e la carta dei vini propone una vasta scelta proveniente da cantine rinomate. Raccomando vivamente questo ristorante per qualsiasi occasione, sia pranzo che cena. Saremo lieti di tornarvi nuovamente.

01/08/2025: I've known about this place for almost two years. And since then, I HAVE to go there at least once a week (?). The excellent cuisine, especially the fish, and the kindness, professionalism, and friendliness of the staff make it a temptation I can't resist. And the prices... absolutely reasonable!! Only one flaw: it's 40 km from where I live.

29/07/2025: Excellent, well-prepared food. They're especially good at fish. Reservations are essential, as they're always fully booked.

05/07/2025: If you’re in town, you must come here! The food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tuscan Steak and it was tasty and melted in your mouth. Make sure you get dessert too, you will not be disappointed with anything on the menu! Highly recommend!!

30/06/2025: Spectacular view from the terrace. Very good food.

21/07/2025: Bistecca che puzza (sicuramente congelata in fase di marcimento), fritto dell'aia con 4 pezzi di fritto (15€ di piatto). Unica cosa positiva la cameriera, brava e solare. Per il resto male

19/07/2025: Esperienza pessima e chi mette più di una stella non ha mai mangiato un piatto che si possa solo lontanamente chiamare decente...tovagliette con macchie di caffè e briciole del pasto prima, forchette sporche e la bistecca talmente andata a male che se ne sono accorti anche due clienti del locale accanto a due tavoli di distanza da noi...e per concludere costretti a pagare in contanti SENZA SCONTRINO FISCALE. Veramente indecente, mai più.

12/06/2025: Ottimo ristorante dove mangiare piatti tipici Toscani con rapporto qualità prezzo. La proprietaria è simpaticissima e ci tiene a non deludere i clienti.

12/06/2025: Excellent restaurant where you can eat typical Tuscan dishes with a good quality/price ratio. The owner is very nice and takes care not to disappoint the customers.

19/07/2025: The risottos are delicious, and especially the pinsa. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Montecatini.

02/07/2025: Very welcoming air-conditioned environment just steps from the center. Great food and very friendly staff

27/06/2025: Filet with green pepper really Tasty, good sautéed mushrooms, excellent tiramisu. The cost is not very low but the quality is there. Beautiful location, especially in the evening (very engaging panoramic terrace).

23/04/2025: Fantastic pizza. Easy menu with pizzas we could easly relate to. Fantastic view. All around local clients. 😊 thats always good! Very nice and helpfull staf always with a smile. Thank you fora a wonferfull dinner.

14/08/2025: I had dinner at Il Focolare for a friend's birthday. Even though I know the restaurant's specialty is pizza and cofaccini, we all opted for meat and mushroom dishes: a Garfagnana appetizer for everyone, followed by fillet steak with porcini mushrooms, fillet steak with truffles, and homemade gnocchi with mushroom sauce. Everything was delicious and top-quality! The place is beautiful (you can tell there's a contemporary artist's touch in the furnishings and accessories!) and the staff was very kind, professional, and friendly! Special praise goes to the owners' delightful daughter, who works as a waitress: she treated us with great skill and kindness, making us enjoy the evening even more! We'll definitely be back!

12/08/2025: Personal experience: highly rude people who are inappropriate towards the public, where it is evident that they have a poor management ability towards the customer, to be absolutely avoided, especially avoiding speaking with a lady whose name I do not know and who does not even know where education and respect are at home.

29/07/2025: A short distance from the plain (Pescia), a 15-minute drive, a historic trattoria offering good value and local cuisine. Cool in the summer (we recommend a sweater for the evening). Outdoor dining is available, by the lake. Tuscan and local menu. Mushrooms (when available), fried fish, Sorana beans...

27/07/2025: Per carità...nemmeno di fronte a un problema di salute!! Posso mangiate pochissime cose in vista di un intervento chirurgico.. chiedo x cortesia un po di pollo con delle patate e un cameriere, molto sgarbato e sbrigativo, risponde:"SI FANNO SOLO FRITTE COME DA MENU PERCHE NON C E TEMPO' vergogna. Praticamente mangiato nulla. Maiiiiiii più.
