I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Toscana

08/03/2026: Typical Italian dishes, very good wine from the owner. Very affordable taxis.

04/03/2026: Yesterday, I took a friend from China to eat their Florentine steak, building on my positive experience in February, when I was truly satisfied with the quality of the meat. Unfortunately, yesterday's experience was completely different. We ordered a Florentine steak at €70 per kilo, for a total of 1.4 kg. Trusting the restaurant, I didn't check the meat carefully when it was presented. Once served, however, I found myself faced with a steak with an excessive and unacceptable amount of fat: about a third of the total weight. This means that of the 1.4 kg paid at full price, about 0.4 kg was practically nothing but fat. At €70 per kilo, this is simply unjustifiable. The dessert offered by the waiter as "compensation" doesn't change the essence of the problem. Once I got home, I compared the photos of the real Florentine steak I'd eaten at the same restaurant in February with the one I'd eaten yesterday. It's clear that the steak served yesterday wasn't a real Florentine steak. Therefore, it should never have been sold at €70 per kilo. Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the meat shown before cooking wasn't the same as the one actually served at the table, because it looked different and didn't have that disproportionate amount of fat. In summary: 1. I believe the meat shown and the meat served were not the same. 2. The steak I ate yesterday wasn't a real Florentine steak, and the price charged was, in my opinion, unfair. A deeply disappointing experience, especially considering the trust I had placed in this restaurant. Additional comments The reason this experience disappointed me so deeply is precisely the trust I had in you. In February, I ate an excellent Florentine steak there, which left me completely satisfied. It was that positive experience that convinced me to return and bring a friend from China with me. Precisely because of this trust, when the steak was shown to me before cooking, I didn't feel the need to carefully analyze it. I relied on the quality I had already experienced. Once served, however, the amount of fat seemed excessive, about a third of the total weight in 1.4 kg at €70 per kilo. At this price, I expect a decent balance of meat and fat. The real disappointment came once I got home. Comparing the photographs of the Fiorentina I ate in February with the one served yesterday, the difference was clear. The cut, the meat-to-fat ratio, and the overall appearance were not the same. And this is precisely what I can't understand: why do two steaks sold as "Bistecca alla Fiorentina" in the same restaurant appear so different in quality and characteristics? In my experience, the one I ate in February represents what I consider a true Fiorentina, while the one served yesterday wasn't up to par. My disappointment isn't born out of controversy, but rather from the disappointment of seeing quality that doesn't match the asking price and the previous experience that had made me return with confidence. I share this reflection with respect, but also with sincerity.

17/02/2026: Unfortunately, our experience at Ristorante Antica Porta was very disappointing, despite the food being objectively good. The service was extremely disorganized; the dishes arrived so far apart that some of us had already finished, while others had yet to begin. We waited an incredibly long time before we could even begin eating, making the experience frustrating from the start. The waiters also didn't seem to know what they were serving, demonstrating little preparation for the dishes brought to the table. The general feeling was that the slowdown and difficulties we encountered weren't acknowledged as the service's responsibility, but rather treated superficially. The most unpleasant part came at the end: while we were still finishing dessert, we were brought the receipt without asking for it, and while we were still seated at the table, they began clearing the table before our eyes, even starting with the water bottles. There was also a small child at the table who, at the end of the meal, wasn't even allowed to drink because the bottles had already been taken away, after having already waited a long time for her food. This was truly rude and disrespectful behavior toward the customers. It's a real shame, because the food is worth it, but none of the people at the table are willing to return, given the overall experience.

03/02/2026: The service is amazing. Went with a big group and was treated amazing. The staff really puts and effort and it shows! The food is unbelievable, the prices are more than fair , and the quality.... wow. So good went 3 times in 3 days. Recommended to everyone!

22/11/2025: After we booked, they sent us away saying they'd run out of pizza dough!!! We were speechless...

04/11/2025: Personally, we didn't enjoy it. We ordered a seafood risotto, which arrived completely overcooked and had a rather questionable flavor. A plate of pasta with an inedible sauce and pizzas that were barely adequate.

01/03/2026: Luca, Massimiliano, and the staff were excellent and friendly. The platter of excellent cured meats and generous portions. Highly recommended.

09/11/2025: It's always nice to return to Cacciatore to eat a good pizza in front of the fireplace

11/12/2025: We discovered this small but very welcoming restaurant by chance. The service from the waiters was perfect and welcoming. For food, we opted for some truly excellent pizzas, delicious fagioli all'uccelletto, and a mushroom stew that melted in your mouth. I recommend everyone to stop by.

09/12/2025: Everything was excellent Luca and Carmen

25/12/2025: The food is excellent. I don't know what the wine is like because I don't drink alcohol if I have to drive like so many others do in Italy who then crash into guardrails and kill innocent people... 🤷 If you have to drive to Milan and already start drinking wine here, I don't know how far you'll go... ..hoping you don't kill innocent people.. 🤷

20/12/2025: The portions were really small, both for the entrees and the side dishes. Unfortunately, we didn't take photos, but the portions weren't like the ones pictured here. A meager portion of fries for €4.50 is definitely too much. The place is very nice, and the service is quick.

19/11/2025: Very small restaurant but with very high quality and a relatively low price (fixed menu)

27/09/2025: Friendliness and excellent cuisine make this restaurant a place to spend a pleasant evening and enjoy quality food, cooked according to the best Tuscan tradition.

09/02/2026: Visiting this place is like stepping back in time. It's worth it.

29/12/2025: Good schiacciatine, friendly staff

23/11/2025: Clean and delicious home cooking Very friendly staff Highly recommended I always stop by when I'm in the area for work

01/01/2026: Exceptional pizza. They have a wide variety of very good pizzas. The staff is friendly and the service is fast!

11/12/2025: This place is a real discovery. The smell of good tomato wafts through, and the pizza is delicious. A truly recommended discovery.

20/01/2026: Everything is good, but the fritters????? Amazing!!!!!!

10/01/2026: Simple dishes but pure and true substance, from the appetizer to the main courses. The first courses, in my opinion, are truly delicious!! I forgot... I also want to compliment the pizza and the pizza chef 👍 Well done!!

26/12/2025: Christmas lunch set menu. Everything was excellent, from appetizer to dessert. The staff were knowledgeable and extremely friendly, the service was prompt, and the place was spotless. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

26/12/2025: Update December 2025: We celebrated Christmas here with our family. Service was excellent, and the food was excellent. Three seafood appetizers (see photo) cost €60 (paccheri with cherry tomatoes, scampi, clams, and lupini beans), mixed fried fish with anchovies and fried vegetables, and panettone with cream, water, wine, and coffee. It was sold out. Update 2025: Everything is always great at La Casina! --- We're regulars at this restaurant, and I can say it's an extremely good restaurant, especially for the price. The dishes are good and plentiful, and there's no cover charge. I recommend the tagliolini with lobster, the seafood sauté, and the cacciucco (fish stew). Located in the Viareggio pine forest, 200 meters from the sea, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with air conditioning. During high season, it's better to reach it by bike than by car due to the lack of parking in the area (free parking nearby from 1-3 PM and after 8 PM). They often offer a free after-dinner drink at the end of the meal. - August 2023. This year too, we've been to the local restaurant a couple of times, always top-notch. The seafood is good and plentiful, and there's a fixed-price menu available (4 appetizers, 2 first courses, fried food, and water, plus wine). The staff is friendly and helpful, and there's a wide variety of "ammazza caffè" (afternoon tea) for those like me who don't get the usual "amaro del Capo" (a bitter liqueur). Don't be put off by anyone who complains about slow service. The staff is always busy, but when there's a lot of people, you might have to wait, but that means you'll eat well!

07/03/2026: Dinner with friends. We ate five different pizza flavors spread across three boards, totaling 2.5 meters. We washed it down with five pints of beer and a good dessert. All at a great price.

23/02/2026: I discovered this place through social media with the videos of "Leo" and I chose to organize a lunch for 12 people. I was expecting only a scene like in the videos and a normal restaurant, but instead I was amazed by the quality of the dishes. We ordered platters that cost 13 euros if I remember correctly and were really generous, baked potatoes and spinach, a good kilo of really good and melt-in-the-mouth steak, a huge selection of beers and fast and cool service as they say in our parts. The owner is the soul of the place, ready to make you laugh even with off-the-line jokes. Compliments to everyone from the waiting staff to the kitchen and the owner.

08/11/2025: Very good pizza, top-notch courtesy

18/10/2025: Delicious pizzas with top-quality ingredients and a wood-fired oven!!! Hard to find anymore!! The owners are incredibly kind and friendly, and thanks to them I've managed to move away from my usual ham and mushrooms!!! When I'm there, I recommend the current specialty pizzas, the one with pumpkin cream, provola cheese, and pancetta is indescribable!!! I give it 5 stars because there aren't any better!! I highly recommend it!!!!

07/09/2025: We found it by chance on our way back from a weekend in Orvieto. We ordered the mixed crostini, tagliatelle with rabbit ragù and crème brulee. The food was homemade and delicious, and I'd definitely return. The service was neither excellent nor infamous.

06/09/2025: It's a great idea to get off the highway and eat here instead of at a rest stop. It's a small place, but perfect for a quick stop and some typical dishes without breaking the bank.
