I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Pistoia

14/12/2025: Excellent and plentiful dishes, very kind and friendly staff. Excellent service, good value for money.

05/11/2025: Arriving at the entrance, I'm pleased to see a sign thanking all the customers who have frequented the restaurant over the years, allowing the owners to continue their passion for the restaurant business. We came for a fixed-price business lunch, so there are several dishes to choose from, and honestly, there's a wide selection of first and second courses. The welcome is very warm and friendly. Tables are clean and linens are provided, and wine glasses are provided. Bruschetta was served while you wait. I ordered penne with porcini mushrooms and grilled chicken with beans. I promise I'll return for an à la carte lunch. Recommended!

06/01/2026: Varied and fresh menu and friendly and efficient staff

16/12/2025: Terrible food, rude owner, and rude, but friendly waitress. She was a tall, blonde lady. We were a group, and the organizer had made a reservation, so I didn't know if she'd ordered for my dog. The waitress brought a tray of a burger and told me it was for the dog. He clearly appreciated it, and as he was finishing, this lady came over and rudely told me that if I hadn't ordered it, I shouldn't have ordered it, and she left. So I approached her and explained that I couldn't have known, and anyway, it wasn't a problem because she would have been paid. Now, making such a fool of herself over a burger when she could have definitely resolved the matter more politely. Anyway, my dog ​​was happy, we were a little less so. I honestly didn't like the lasagna. But that's okay, everyone has their own tastes, and the lady's rudeness wasn't.

01/11/2025: We've known Fulvio, the master waiter and excellent host, for 17 years; the legendary Chef Alessandro (a 5-star in my opinion); and the superb waitresses AnnaLisa and Fiorella. A team of competent and kind people, not to mention incredibly friendly. Highly recommended.

28/10/2025: Lunch with a group of colleagues, choosing from a quality set menu: cheese lasagna, pork loin with Montecarlo red beans, and cantuccini with vin santo. Served by very friendly and approachable staff. I recommend a visit.

31/12/2025: The place may be nice, but I won't set foot there again! I went for an aperitif with a friend. A tray with eight mini slices of prosciutto (it was probably the last one and the slices were small), dried out and so full of pepper it was inedible, four dark, mediocre crostini, and two fingers of wine... they had the nerve to charge us 32 euros!! What a rip-off! Some places deserve to be left deserted.

18/11/2025: A great experience in one of the few places outside the bustling Piazza della Sala. A bar by day, a bistro by night, serving delicious, carefully prepared dishes using quality ingredients. Excellent wine selection. Welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff.

27/07/2025: Moeder en dochter doen dit puur uit liefde voor het vak. Moeder als kok en dochter als bediende, op persoonlijk niveau. De pasta carbonara was buitengewoon lekker, terwijl ik een regelmatiger carbonara-eter ben. Nog nooit zo lekker gegeten en heel authentieke ervaring zonder toeristische focus. Ook veel locals komen hier eten als vaste klanten. Warme sfeer, echte aanrader!

25/07/2025: Si quieres una experiencia gastronómica Italiano tradicional en la Toscana entonces ven aquí. Sí IT es un servicio lento, ya que solo hay nonna cocina en el ITchen y un servidor (la hija), pero es fabuloso. Tómate tu tiempo y disfruta del ambiente, nos encantó IT. La pasta gf estaba genial, el filete estaba tan tierno y el vino precioso, la crema de caramelo era la mejor que he probado. Disfruta del ritmo, IT es más lento pero relájate y sigue la corriente. Nos encantó IT y hemos reservado para volver!

07/01/2026: New Year's Eve passed... simple, good menu, welcoming service, really good prices... we will return.

02/01/2026: Booked last minute for New Year's Eve 2025. Excellent location, fast and friendly staff, excellent food! I can say the atmosphere is family-friendly and pleasant, highly recommended!

07/10/2025: Everything was exceptional: original, top-quality dishes, excellent wine selection. Very friendly staff. I'll definitely be back!

29/09/2025: Squid pasta with anchovies was superb.

10/01/2026: The pizza was raw and was inedible and tasteless (it didn't taste like pizza) I ordered a Napoli and it had three capers and anchovies in it!!! If you have to come DO NOT GET THE PIZZA 🍕

13/12/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, good pizza, fries, and tiramisu🥰

27/12/2025: The dining room lacks a bit of Tuscan flair. Otherwise, there's a good selection of excellent wines and delicious dishes.

08/12/2025: An unexpected discovery, with unusual, carefully crafted dishes and a generous menu with a wide selection. Super friendly staff. Congratulations!

11/11/2025: We reserved a table for five on Sunday morning, specifying our arrival time as 1:30 PM. As soon as we arrived, we noticed a general discontent among the tables and people near the restaurant. I asked about our reserved table, and with extremely poor manners, they told us we could leave because there had been a mix-up with the reservations. Six other customers outside explained that they too were shocked, having booked. I ALWAYS excuse mistakes in the restaurant industry because I know it's never easy having to juggle all the myriad things that go on in this world. A simple gesture of apology, a voucher for a dinner, a glass of wine, and two appetizers, and a call to let them know of the inconvenience given the distance from any other activity in the restaurant would have been enough to ease the situation, but instead, nothing. I generally only review places I enjoy, so as not to discredit or negatively review places I don't enjoy, and thus influence other customers. However, given my politeness, I feel I can't help but share my, unfortunately, bad experience. Despite everything, I will try to rebook and have the opportunity to change my mind about the management of the place; I would be truly happy.

26/09/2025: Lovely authentic Tuscan dishes in the best authentic surroundings with the most beautiful view. Highly recommended.

14/09/2025: Recently visited this charming little bar located conveniently near the University of Messina. As expected for the area, you'll find plenty of students frequenting this spot, creating a lively academic atmosphere. Space & Seating: The bar is quite compact with limited seating, so if you're planning to visit with a larger group, I'd recommend arriving early or being prepared to wait. During daytime hours, the outdoor seating can get quite sunny, making indoor spots more comfortable. Service & Staff: The service was pleasant, with friendly male and female bartenders who were professional and accommodating throughout my visit. I ordered the Crema di Caffè with Panna, which offered good value for money in terms of both quality and portion size. While it was enjoyable and reasonably priced, I wouldn't say it's the absolute best Crema di Caffè you'll find in Messina – but certainly worth trying. Overall: A decent neighborhood spot that's definitely worth a try if you're walking through this area of Messina. While it has some limitations in terms of space and the sweetness level of certain items, the friendly service and reasonable prices make it a solid choice for a quick coffee break, especially if you're in the university district. Recommended for: Students, coffee lovers, quick stops, solo visits

24/07/2025: It was a pleasure to calm down during a hot day in Messina. Nice barman served me tasty kind of espresso with ice-cream. Delicious and for a good price. Grazie. 😘
