I migliori ristorantinella città San miniato della Pisa

04/10/2025: Maggese is living a unique experience.

01/10/2025: I had a lovely dinner at this restaurant with my husband. I had heard great things about it, and I have to say that the dinner—or rather, the experience—exceeded my expectations. It's hard to describe the explosion (literally) of flavors in every course. Flavors and combinations, sometimes unusual, but always perfect! Everything was excellent! The service was also excellent, impeccable in its attention to detail and attentiveness! The atmosphere was elegant yet warm! You'd expect a place like this in Milan or London—a real gem in the heart of San Miniato. Compliments to the chef! It's truly on another level! We'll be back.

26/10/2025: Expectations were very high, and perhaps that's why they were disappointed. The first course, pioppini mushrooms and oxtail, didn't convince me. I proceeded with the egg yolk with truffle... too bad the truffle wasn't very fragrant and the dish arrived cold. Compliments to the service. Impeccable. I recommend cleaning up the dust buildup on the corrigati in the kitchen... it's not at all hygienic. I won't post the photo out of decency.

19/10/2025: Great restaurant with delicious and high-class cuisine; it’s fairly priced with a 4-courses meat menu @ €52 and fresh fish menu at €57 ; look out for the truffle specials when in season. Great staff too.

21/10/2025: This place is a guarantee: excellent food, a casual atmosphere, and reasonable prices. We'll definitely be back. The truffle crepes and donkey stew are excellent. I recommend booking ahead.

11/10/2025: The place is small, but that's precisely its characteristic. Reservations are required. The food is excellent and well-cooked. The portions are generous, like those of true gourmets. Top-notch service. Excellent value for money.

11/10/2025: The best option ever! We left Pisa for Florence and were starving. The restaurant was packed until 9 p.m., and the rest of the restaurants open after 7 p.m. We had to wait about two hours :( . We bought the best cheeses, cured hams, and salami, as well as bread and pickles, and we made our own. The extremely friendly owner gave us the best recommendations, and we grabbed a quick bite to eat before we got back on our way. Great value and incredibly delicious! Thanks for existing!

01/10/2025: Maurizio is always a guarantee with his high quality products.

09/10/2025: In a few words...the food is excellent.

06/10/2025: Restaurant located in the town center; parking is available a few hundred meters away. This small restaurant offers excellent traditional Tuscan cuisine; I recommend the wild boar pici. The service is prompt and friendly.

21/09/2025: I got married at Villa Sonnino. Fantastic location, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The reception was perfect.

19/09/2025: A wonderful location, I had the opportunity to visit with one of my vintage cars for an event....

28/09/2025: Give me one reason to return! This used to be a great place until owners changed. We still remember Mr. Collebrunachi’s magnificent Bistecca di manzo or their great ribs (both truky excellent!), and selection of wide variety of wild game meals and great wines for fair prices. This is almost all gone, replaced with a more generic menu I can find in every other restaurant across Tuscany, doubled prices and smaller portions. Fiorentina steak, pasta with ragu or pasta with truffles is really nothing special in the area anymore, certainly not at this price/portions levels and in the isolated location reachable only by the narrowest most beaten road in the whole of Italy 😜 Ok lets not be overly critical and look at what is still good: Wine list looks good if you just do not care about the high pricing. The house wine rosso Collebrunacchi was actually great and remained at affordable price. The beef with porcini was tasty (just SO tiny…) All the pasta is still excellent here (just small portions and pasta is great everywhere in Tuscany…) The mix grill for multiple people actually preserved some of the good old Collebrunacchi grill meals - rabbit, pork ribs etc. for a fair price (well you said it s for 2 people and I could finish it alone easily ;) ) Tiramisu and pannacotta (both excellent…as well as miniature versions of what it used to be. I also think frutti di bosco were much better match with pannacotta than the amandel but that can just be a personal taste) The staff still work here and their smiles and friendly approach keep the cosy family place vibes. I want to end with a constructive recommendation to the new owners (that nobody asked for, sorry, but its free 😁): I understand the pricing and changes may be there for various reasons, but as a customer I need a motivation to actually come here again. If we are to pay for dinner for two 80-100 eur and drive to the middle of nowhere on THIS road, you must offer something truly special or unique! a) great price / value ratio (not the case anymore, prices practically levelled with restaurants in the center of Florence) b) truly unique meals (maybe some french/italian fusion with delicatesses impossible to find elsewhere around? Bring back the guinea fawl and other true specialties? Wild boar stew wont cut it anymore) c) excellent 5 star unbeatable quality (not the case - we got friendly, but fairly regular service and while the quality of meals was overall high, it was still comparable to many other places in Tuscany we visited. Extra recommendations to fix the menu: The polentino appetizers were soaked in oil, almost tasteless- Id just drop it from the menu and replaced anything deepfried with something fresh Fixing the sides - marinated single kind vegetables and fries? I d just rethink and add some more inspiring and satisfying sides, so many options out there… Deserts? Maybe add creme brule? Offer Panna cotta also with frutti di bosco? Maybe Truffle flavored ice cream? Deserts are the place for real creativity and uniqueness…i did not see it this time. The boiled hen - it was undercooked, without salt or spices = zero taste - just drop it or mark as “for your pets” ( sorry, maybe too harsh to put it like that but so was my experience and surprise with this one, I am no cook but I d still cook it better! 🤣) Alright, where does it leave us - it’s your restaurant and your choice how you manage it. But I think name of Collebrunacchi and good marketing can only go so far. I tried my feedback to be not just harsh criticism but constructive too - give it some thinking and I hope you will find at least some of it useful to make the restaurant change a positive and successful one. This is not a farewell, we will try to visit again if we are in the area, to see how things are developing - once we do, I d also update my review here if things change. In the meantime - best of luck with your new business :) Last but not least - heartful thanks and respect to the family Collebrunacchi (and the staff!) for all the years of magnificent dining and memories!!

25/09/2025: A beautiful place to enjoy the country air and sleep. Wow, excellent cuisine that takes us out of the ordinary. The hosts and staff are very welcoming and warm. We promise to return. You also love the truffles, wine, and olive oil. Their neighbors are producers that we can also enjoy at the evening restaurant. Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you again.

17/10/2025: Good food and staff was helpful and friendly. Lots of locals eating.

12/10/2025: young atmosphere and good food...fair prices

13/10/2025: Lovely place, clean, professional staff and the steak was truly a delight.

27/09/2025: Beautiful and well-kept atmosphere, delicious food, impeccable service

12/10/2025: Unfortunately, we were disappointed. Some dishes were incredibly overly salty, and we sent one first course back. It was added to our bill. It's not a financial issue, but if I spend money, I expect quality food and service. It's a shame because other dishes were worth it. We won't be returning.

26/09/2025: Olivum is my favorite restaurant. At least once every change of season, I go to this enchanting place to taste delicacies that create a symphony. I was there in the fall of 2025 and I still remember that mushroom appetizer with multiple textures; the most delicious and amazing dish I've ever eaten. I was there again in the summer of 2025. Here, you can enjoy a tasting of land, sea, or a five-course special, including dessert. The chef manages to enhance the flavors of each dish. The price is more than fair for the quality. Even the bread basket is wonderful! Not just bread and schiacciata, but also small assorted pastry treats. I return often and will continue to return. Congratulations 👏

21/09/2025: A TOP experience, very beautiful, elegant environment, nothing is left to chance.

14/09/2025: Great location for our son's wedding reception.

12/10/2025: A beautiful two-story restaurant with a lovely glass pergola Very good food, also suitable for truffle lovers.

23/04/2025: Daniele is a chef who pays attention to local products, cooks only what is available in season and offers traditional style cuisine but with his personal touch. All the staff are up to the task and contribute to the success of the evening. It really deserves to be known.

14/10/2025: Everything was excellent. Perhaps the desserts could be improved.

07/10/2025: I rarely give bad reviews, and this was no different in this case... I've never had a bad meal in Italy...unfortunately, this is the first time I've had one. In the latest Tuscany travel guide (Müller Verlag), this restaurant, a little outside and remote from San Miniato, is touted as a good truffle restaurant. My husband ordered beef tartare with truffles as an appetizer, and we both ordered pasta with truffles for our main course. Surprisingly, the appetizer and my main course were brought out at the same time...(in retrospect, that was a good thing for us, as we ended up canceling the second portion of truffle pasta). The beef tartar was completely unseasoned, neither salted nor peppered, and the truffle topping was absolutely flavorless, which is an absolute feat, as truffles are normally highly aromatic and intense, and we've had the pleasure of enjoying this very special specialty in many restaurants... The truffle pasta was covered under a hood, which was then aired... a strange smell (at first, I had a chlorine scent) wafted up... I thought it might be from the freshly washed dishes... water in Italy is occasionally slightly chlorinated, and possibly the pasta was cooked in chlorinated water... no idea... in any case, it wasn't the expected scent of fresh truffles!!! The pasta was al dente, but not particularly high-quality pasta; the surface was smooth; there are better options. The sauce was tiny in quantity, and the generous amount of truffle shaved over it (summer truffle, by the looks of it...) smelled or tasted absolutely nothing like truffles. (As I said, an art with such a highly aromatic ingredient... the chef must have noticed it when shaving it over...) The service was reservedly friendly, but the option to cancel the second portion of truffle pasta was very nice, thank you for that. The restaurant itself is set in a beautiful garden and pleasantly secluded; anyone can find it using Google Maps. There's a large parking lot. Maybe we were just unlucky... what a pity, we were so looking forward to a delicious truffle experience to round off our vacation... Generally on the higher side, which isn't a problem for us if the quality is right... but not for what we were offered, I'm disappointed... 1x truffle beef tartar, 1x truffle linguini, including 1 glass of white wine (by the glass, it was very good) and 1 bottle of still water, for a reasonable €61. If I could give zero stars, I would... sorry. P.S.: The dining room (lots of cobwebs...) is in dire need of cleaning... and I'm really not picky... even in a country inn, cobwebs aren't part of the atmosphere... My response to the owner's expected unfriendly reaction: Best regards, Mr. Stefano! I can only judge what I consumed, and that, of course, isn't the entire menu on my first visit... I certainly wasn't imagining that first smell; I have a good nose... but let's leave it at that... The fact is, the truffles didn't smell or taste even remotely like truffles... perhaps they were old or smoked out, it can happen... Looking at their reactions to criticism, however, they urgently need to attend a seminar on conflict management and dealing with customer criticism. As soon as customers point out deficiencies, they immediately become personal, even insulting, in their conversation... does that really have to be? An excellent restaurant is characterized by politeness, courtesy, and a good tone in EVERY SITUATION, especially when criticism is being offered. Nobody's perfect... not even their establishment... and who says we won't come back? Everyone gets a second chance with me!

19/08/2025: We stumbled upon this place by chance as a stop on our trip, and it was a pleasant surprise. The location is beautiful, and the food is exquisite and delicious. I highly recommend it.

14/08/2025: Very nice café, reasonable prices.

09/09/2025: A lovely restaurant Food delicious Staff friendly Thanks to the team for a wonderful dining experience

31/08/2025: Excellent quality meat. They don't have anything else like it. If you're in the area and love meat...try the Fiorentina steak!
