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.

01/11/2025: Small and welcoming atmosphere. I would have preferred less spicy dishes, but that may have been a mistake. Well-presented dishes. Quality food. Fair prices. Overall, I'd say good.

26/10/2025: My favorite place! Everything is delicious, but I think their pappardelle with porcini mushrooms deserves a special mention. They're, as always, out of this world. My partner agrees with his tonnarelli with wild boar. If you're in Tuscany, a stop at Osteria l'Upupa is a must (reservations required)!

11/11/2025: We attended a solidarity dinner for Hospice San Martino Empoli

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

10/11/2025: Top... warm welcome, good traditional food, and fair prices! Thanks for the wonderful experience.

05/11/2025: The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and helpful. The meat is good, and the wine is genuine.

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

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 👏

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

01/11/2025: We discovered the place because they were hosting a piano bar and karaoke evening with Mario Cicatiello. We had a wonderful meal and a very fun evening. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

30/09/2025: A very welcoming atmosphere and extraordinary food; I've been a regular for almost two years now. The five-star service goes entirely to Matteo.

20/10/2025: This place is gorgeous! But I was definitely impressed by the great professionalism and problem-solving skills. I highly recommend this place; it's a peaceful, elegant place, and they have great attention to detail.

18/10/2025: Very quiet, to enjoy disconnection

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!

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.

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.
