I migliori ristorantinella città Santa maria a monte della Pisa

09/07/2024: Non puoi non fermarti, gentili e competenti

15/12/2024: I'm very sorry but most of the reviews are misleading or they've changed something in the kitchen recently because it takes courage to say that the food is good... I'm giving 2 stars because I'm kind! We chose a land-based menu and the appetizer was poor and sad: a few stale bread croutons with two not even good sauces, fried polenta with nothing to put on it and two forgettable cold cuts... But rather two pieces of cheese and a bruschetta with tomato it would already change... First courses are scarce and cheap (they are also kindly passed over with the trays, this must be said but not even the quantity to start with to dirty a plate) and divided badly, some a pittance, some a larger portion right. I can't comment on the second one because I haven't tasted it. Sweet horror. Coffee with fuss included inside. Friendly and friendly service and this too must be said, super organized but also too fast if you are not careful there is the risk that they will take your food away from the front, not very careful I understand that they want to get on with the work and hurry up and clear the table but there 'It's a way and a way... While you're drinking or finishing nibbling something you see hands coming out to remove the bread etc. Without grace, very pushy. Inexpensive but honestly I prefer to save them and eat at home (and I'm not good at cooking!) and I repeat that I'm sorry because I don't usually write reviews especially negative ones but here on quality we need to review everything... Better to pay 5 or 10 euros more and not having been offered the digestive at the end of dinner (needless to say that was also of poor quality) rather than eating so badly and saying oh well at least I didn't spend that much! It's not worth it I wonder what those who say the food is good ate!!!

15/12/2024: Cozy place, friendly staff and excellent menu.

15/08/2024: Excellent restaurant (tavern) perched in the old Santa Maria a Monte. Delicious dishes and well presented. Excellent selection of wines admirably explained and recommended by the owner. Price normal. Only two flaws: we settled in the beautiful external courtyard but unfortunately the seats were uncomfortable and the kitchen hood was too short which smoked the external environment and the diners.

20/07/2024: On the wall at the entrance and on one wall of the terrace there is the writing Ambra Nera Osteria e bottega food, But as happens with works of art when the true masterpiece is hidden under the painting on the surface the same thing happens for this place too . Little by little, with surprise and amazement, visiting the rooms and climbing the floors of this 20th century building you find yourself in front of a real collection of furniture and design objects all confusedly and at the same time skilfully and not casually arranged by the expert hand and taste by Silvio Tempestini, architect and owner together with his son Andrea of ​​Ambra Nera. The passion for furnishings and design is combined with the owner's great love for food and wine, both combined at interesting levels. The main diktat of Ambra Nera is to use only high quality raw materials which are interpreted and cooked with creativity and good technique by a good young chef. The dishes tasted were all well made and were well presented on high quality pottery with different colors and shapes for each diner. The wine list is interesting, well explained with passion and love by Silvio Tempestini, who also does his best to recommend the best pairings with the chosen dishes. The limit of the card, however, is the presence of many bottles no longer available. The terrace where I had dinner was very beautiful and well furnished, an ideal location during the summer. However, since it is located in the external part and accessible by a climb, it affects the service times somewhat, despite having appreciated it for its kindness, professionalism and availability. In fact, my table of 5 has never been served completely all together. Good value for money. An experience that I sincerely recommend trying and that I will certainly do again.
