I migliori ristoranti in Pistoia

14/04/2026: Looking for a restaurant after leaving the train station on a Sunday at 2 pm, we stumbled upon Ristorante Centrale, which was one of the few still open. We had a pretty good meal; the dishes were decent and we were served quickly.

12/04/2026: We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, my husband, my two small children, and I. I ordered lasagna, and my husband ordered cacio e pepe. Unfortunately, my lasagna was truly inedible: I only tasted a single forkful, and it tasted like a single porridge, almost like a muddled casserole, without a pleasant, well-defined flavor. I couldn't eat it. Even my husband's cacio e pepe, although he ate it because he was hungry, wasn't made well and didn't have the flavor one would normally expect from such a simple yet typical dish. When the waiter came to collect our plates, I sincerely pointed out that the lasagna was inedible. I didn't ask for another dish, I didn't demand anything, I simply left practically everything on my plate. In the end, I only ate the two small pieces of schiacciata that were brought at the beginning. The most unpleasant thing was the way the situation was handled: when my husband stayed to pay, he was told that the kitchen had tasted the lasagna and that everything was fine. We still paid for everything, including one dish that wasn't eaten because it was truly unacceptable. In our opinion, regardless of personal taste, in a case like this, it would have been more appropriate not to charge for at least the dish that was left almost entirely. We won't be returning.

Great for dinner, but also for a snack or, as I often do, for an aperitivo, with a slice of deliciousness and lighthearted conversation after a busy day.
