I migliori ristoranti in Pistoia

10/01/2026: We spent a few days in Pistoia for the Christmas holidays, and on the evening of January 1st, craving a nice Florentine steak, we stumbled upon this typical trattoria. They offer a fixed-price menu, which I recommend, which includes mixed appetizers, a Florentine steak of a weight appropriate for the number of guests, three side dishes, and a dessert. Drinks are not included. The owner, like the staff, is incredibly welcoming. You can tell they really care about explaining the quality and provenance of the meat. Oh! By the way, aside from appetizers and side dishes: THEY ONLY EAT MEAT! It's a real steakhouse; they don't do first courses, they don't do fish... What a steak, folks! Served on piping hot plates so it doesn't get cold, and cut at the table by the owner himself. The only flaw: they served us French meat. Good, tender, but not the most flavorful. I would have preferred local meat. Anyway, I recommend it. It's worth it.

06/01/2026: This traditional Tuscan restaurant is located on Via Sant'Andrea in Pistoia, in a beautiful medieval building restored with exposed brick and stone. Enjoy fabulous grilled meats and traditional dishes with tasty crostini, excellent cured meats, side dishes, and appetizers, accompanied by a wide selection of white and red wines. The owners, with great professionalism and kindness, recommend these wines, turning a simple dinner into a truly exquisite culinary experience. The restaurant is truly beautiful, meticulously maintained, and fantastic for photographs. Excellent in every way! The food, wines, hospitality, and sophistication. Recommended restaurant!

03/02/2026: I've been enjoying their ice cream for years, and the quality and deliciousness have never dropped. They also praise the hygiene and clean air they exude.

14/01/2026: Very good, I highly recommend it

14/01/2026: Informal atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good wine selection. The food? A culinary experience that will delight the palate! TOP!!!

07/01/2026: My family's and my favorite restaurant. Homemade products and friendly service. A must-stop at their butcher shop next door.

04/01/2026: Little to say, a lot to experience 😋

30/12/2025: Always a pleasure. Excellent quality.

05/03/2026: Excellent, delicious steak and tartare. Extremely welcoming staff, the owners were present and very kind. Everything was extremely pleasant.

18/02/2026: Just for the kindness of the staff I would go back a thousand times, for the food I can't find a better place than this one which makes good food and with passion, highly recommended

13/01/2026: Very good food, homemade pasta, and flavors reminiscent of Tuscany. The attentive, friendly, and approachable service makes you feel like a guest, not a customer. I'll be back!

03/01/2026: Dinner with friends. Excellent food. Warm, relaxed, and authentic atmosphere. Super friendly and helpful staff, even with our two four-legged companions. Highly recommended.

04/01/2026: Wonderful experience! I've never had a better Florentine steak. Frankly, the price was even too low for the quality of the food we ate. I HIGHLY recommend it!

30/12/2025: We chose this restaurant on a beautiful Sunday in November, inspired by the numerous positive reviews, and I must say we were completely satisfied! We sat in the second room, more modern and welcoming than the entrance, and immediately appreciated the elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere and the kindness of the staff. Pappardelle with wild boar ragù, fried porcini mushrooms, a delicious roasted porcini mushroom cap, and the inevitable steak! A good red wine accompanied it, and a cream-filled millefeuille for dessert. What can I say... it was an absolutely satisfying lunch. We waited a bit for the meat, probably because the place was crowded, but it was absolutely worth it: quality produce, cooked properly, and beautifully presented... Excellent! The pappardelle with wild boar thrilled the kids, and the mushrooms were the icing on the cake of a lunch that simply leaves you wanting more. Considering the quality of the product, the bill seemed fair for what we ordered. Parking might be a bit difficult along the road that runs through this small corner of Nievole; I'd recommend arriving 10 minutes before rush hour. Otherwise, "Il Pellegrino" keeps all its promises and offers customers a totally positive experience! Top marks!

08/12/2025: Lunch on December 8th, there were four of us, and we chose the €40 menu. Everything was delicious, rustic, and plentiful. The food was so good we'll be back and bringing more friends. See you next time.

03/11/2025: Typical Tuscan cuisine, excellent from appetizers to desserts. The coffee is good, and even the bitter liqueur that bears their name is delicious and has a lovely herbal flavor. The view is also beautiful.

01/02/2026: We had lunch here on our way back from skiing. We stopped because of the excellent reviews. Our lunch confirmed them all. The food was delicious, with a varied and beautifully presented menu. Excellent quality. The dessert (basket with mascarpone and brownies) was wonderful. Special mention for the service provided by the two waiters. We will definitely be back!

28/01/2026: Very expensive. I expected more homely cooking.

27/02/2026: We were drawn in by the Tuesday evening sliced ​​steak menu, well-publicized on Facebook. The menu included an appetizer for two and a sliced ​​sirloin steak with two different flavors. The appetizer was excellent, but not abundant, with quality ingredients! The steak was excellent, but not abundant, with quality ingredients! The Pros We didn't fill up on the appetizer, and that's a good thing: these days, in any restaurant, you could dine on just the appetizer! The portion wasn't abundant, but enough to enjoy. A slice of excellent truffled mortadella; a slice of good coppa di testa; a slice and a half of Cinta salami, not memorable but good; two olives, a forkful of stracchino, and a strip of focaccia with melted pecorino cheese on top—excellent! (...the quantities are per person). The two-seasoned meat was absolutely perfect...we certainly didn't wake up feeling full. It was accompanied by a generous helping of potatoes (normal, not wow-worthy), a good roasted onion (I think), and a salad of cabbage, I think, seasoned with sour and cumin. The Cons The bill was a bit harsh (hence the three stars). The base described was €57, we spent €92, and it made the difference: service charge, a tiramisu, a bottle of water, two coffees, and two glasses of Bolgheri...but the choice was between Chianti Morellino and Bolgheri! (...served in a balloon with a generous three inches of liquid) All for €35. To be fair, they gave us a €2 discount on our receipt and a voucher for an appetizer (which looked tasty)! In my opinion, the music was pleasant but a tad loud! Excellent on-site parking! Updated February 27, 2026 Given the owner's response, I'm raising my rating to 4 stars. Thinking about it, if the portions are actually bigger, the excellent quality and taste are definitely worth the expense!

22/02/2026: I had lunch with my family, everything was excellent. I used the coupons for the grilled meat, which was excellent. I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming. Recommended.

03/01/2026: It was recommended by the concierge at the hotel where we stayed. An excellent place, with a generous platter of various cured meats. The steak is the best.

07/12/2025: After many years the food has improved but the price has skyrocketed.

02/02/2026: Excellent little restaurant but very welcoming with a truly delicious menu each course very tasty very friendly staff I recommend it

06/12/2025: The best steak and mushrooms in Pistoia. I really have nothing else to say. Come and discover this incredible place!

01/01/2026: Had New Year's Eve dinner. A la carte menu with a choice of meat and fish. The table setting was good. We ordered a warm seafood appetizer, consisting of a small amount of fish. For the main course, a Catalana of vegetables and fruit, consisting of 3 scampi and 3 grilled prawns, with enough fruit and vegetables to make a bed for the shellfish. The offering of mandarin oranges, grapes, and sparkling wine near midnight was appreciable. I think the cost of the dishes didn't justify the contents. The place is well-kept inside.

01/01/2026: New Year's Eve with my best friends. A wonderful experience and excellent food. I was so happy because I had suggested it, and even though I had very few doubts, my friends were very satisfied too. Kudos to the entire staff and thanks to Riccardo, whose music made us relive golden times.

15/02/2026: Beautiful, everyone was friendly. Stefano, the owner, was very helpful and took us on a tour of the estate, including the olive trees and the dairy. We ate very well. Definitely worth a try for those who don't know it.

10/02/2026: Beautiful place, very nice staff. Highly recommended
