I migliori ristorantinella città Montecatini-terme della Pistoia

05/11/2025: We had dinner with friends, the Tuscan starter was nothing special, the steak was average, and the dessert was also average.

04/11/2025: A steakhouse you absolutely must go to for an excellent steak, but what more can I say? The meat melted in your mouth! Not to mention the location, a very elegantly renovated old olive oil mill. There's also ample parking. The menu isn't extensive (because the meat is obviously the star), but they're all excellent! The owners and staff are very friendly. The quality/price ratio is unbeatable. Above all, the quality!

11/11/2025: After returning for the fourth time in the last four years, with about a year between each visit, I can confidently say that Il Pellegrino is now an absolute must-try in Val di Nievole. Without a doubt, it's the best steak you can eat from Pistoia to Lucca, and in my opinion, it even beats many Florentine steaks. The quality of the meat is top-notch, but what makes the difference is their way of cooking and seasoning it; every four times, it melted in my mouth! All the other ingredients are also top-notch; mushrooms and truffles with an authentic and intense flavor. The restaurant, after its recent renovation, is elegant and welcoming. Just as elegant, kind, welcoming, and very competent are all the staff, from the owners Lorenzo and Mirko, to the entire staff!! Put your GPS on and go there; it's a five-minute drive from the center of Montecatini, but you won't regret it! The price is also very fair for the quality of what you eat and drink... Recommended above all!!

08/11/2025: The food wasn't bad, except for the overpriced appetizer portions, which were small for a group of 12 people plus a boy. The steak was decent, but the worst part was the surprise bill... because €80 each for an appetizer and a steak seems like a lot to me. It's true that we drank seven bottles of €20 Chianti, but where's the €1200?! 4 crostini each, a few mixed cold cuts, side dishes with the steaks, dip, and two potatoes. In the end, it seemed logical to ask for a receipt; I would have done things differently.

05/11/2025: We waited three hours to see our dishes. If there wasn't a chance of providing adequate service, we could have simply let them know and we would have happily chosen another place. Twenty minutes passed between each course, and there were five of us, so everyone ate independently. In these situations, it would have been polite to offer a discount or a meal, but nothing.

02/11/2025: Pangea was probably faster. I'll briefly summarize my painful experience there. We booked a table for 9:30 PM by calling after 8 PM (so, when service was already underway). We arrived at the restaurant precisely at the appointed time, noticing a crowd of people in front of the restaurant who had booked for 9 PM and were still waiting. And from there began probably the longest wait of my life, beyond even a birth. They seated us at a whopping 10:30 PM, outside, at a table isolated from everyone else, in the freezing cold, while the others were under a tent with some warming mushrooms, and we were the only ones excluded from this privilege. Even though we tried to ask to be moved—not immediately, of course, but only when a table became available indoors or under the awning—we were told yes and no. Either way, the bottom line was that we were left eating in the cold (and given the hour and the amount of hours we'd been waiting, it was truly freezing). Our first ramen arrived at a whopping 11:30 PM, followed by the second a full 15 minutes later. So, as if that weren't enough after all this waiting, we didn't even get to eat them together. We finished our meal after midnight, and of course the staff didn't offer us the slightest discount, except for an embarrassing apology, which arrived only after we'd paid. What can I say, the ramen was good, but you have to decide for yourself whether 15 minutes of satisfaction is worth a two-and-a-half-hour wait. I don't know if it was just an isolated incident and therefore a bad day, and I feel sorry for them, but what is certain is that my day was ruined too.

09/11/2025: Excellent dinner with friends, simple but quality dishes. We'll be back.

06/11/2025: We celebrated my wife's fiftieth birthday with the family at the trattoria. We found the food excellent, the ossobuco was amazing... the staff were very kind and welcoming, the atmosphere is simple but warm, just what you expect to find when you go to a trattoria. Recommended 💯😉

22/10/2025: Profoundly disappointing experience. This is an old-school restaurant with a balanced menu and authentic staff — something I usually appreciate. However, in nearly 11 years of Russia’s war against Ukraine, it’s natural to expect a basic level of sensitivity toward Ukrainians who do not want to be addressed in Russian. Hearing this language is painful — it is associated with blood and death. Despite our polite request not to be spoken to in Russian, the restaurant sent a female staff member who insisted on using it, even delivering a short speech to justify her choice. That response showed a profound lack of empathy and cultural awareness. A place that values hospitality should respect its guests’ boundaries and the tragic reality that defines them. There are plenty of other places in the same price range with better food, service, and atmosphere, where respect and understanding still mean something.

20/10/2025: One of the best restaurants in Montecatini. Exceptional food and service. Refined wine list. A must for anyone visiting the area.

12/11/2025: The place is great and very close to the Prati hotel, the staff is extremely nice and cheerful. All recommendations to visit, and it's not too expensive

19/10/2025: What an absolute pleasure to dine here. Great pizza (served only after 7pm), as well as great lasagne, paninis, and wine/cocktails. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the setting is friendly and casual. Special mention to the waiter (the bald gentleman), who was exceedingly polite, accommodating, and patient with food and drink orders. Everything we had was delicious. This is a great spot to get a meal, or just stop for a drink (as of October 2025, aperol spritz are only €5!). If you’re in Montecatini for a night or two, this place deserves a stop!

03/11/2025: A truly pleasant surprise, generous dishes served by excellent waiters. The dishes were plentiful and well-served, and the wine was excellent and reasonably priced. I recommend it and will be back soon.

07/09/2025: We had dinner at La Mandragola and it was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious, matched only by the exceptional service. The setting in the courtyard is warm and comfortable, making the whole experience feel special. A memorable spot in San Gimignano that I’d happily return to.

30/10/2025: Overcooked meat, almost burnt ribs Roast potatoes...poor and lacking in body... Service: slow and incorrect. We ordered two appetizers, one was served to us and the other to the table behind...who had also asked for two...then the "latecomers" arrived. In your reply, you asked if I was sure I'd been there...absolutely sure. I'm sorry if the comments didn't go down well, but I didn't enjoy the evening either. The fact remains that everyone's tastes are different, and nothing to say about the view.

25/09/2025: Excellent hospitality and food, I recommend it

04/10/2025: Super italienische Küche, sehr freundliche Eigentümer und super Ausblick. Kommen sicher wieder. Danke!!!!

20/09/2025: Great location, delicious food, and affordable. Ignore the private property signs and walk to this very welcoming restaurant with an unparalleled view.

17/09/2025: The best pastry shop I have tried to date, a quality that cannot be described without going there and truly every obstacle, every dessert, a journey into taste, trying it to understand why these women really have something extra.

11/09/2025: Excellent pastry shop I might even say the best in Montecatini Beautiful cakes and, above all, delicious!!!! Great place for an aperitif, a cup of tea, or a breakfast to remember

08/11/2025: A very picturesque and welcoming historic bar in Montecatini

04/11/2025: Food was very good as was service and lots of menu options. Nice patio area out front as well as indoor seating if you prefer.

16/10/2025: Richard Benson would have been proud of my dinner

08/10/2025: The restaurant is located in the Nievole Valley, and boasts a quaint and well-appointed atmosphere. There's also a patio and an outdoor garden for the summer. The food is classic Tuscan, everything excellent, and the staff and owners are very friendly. Highly recommended. If you can't find a parking spot on the street, there's a small parking lot to the right of the restaurant entrance.

15/11/2025: The staff were wonderful, the presentation was passionate, and the food was excellent, all at a fair price. We also approved the drinks menu! Thank you.

26/10/2025: What can I say? A magnificent place, superb food with unique culinary innovation. Truly delicious food, very reasonably priced, and with just the right portions. The owner is truly professional. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: I saw this pizzeria come to life with the great Angelino and have seen it improve over the years with Daril and Giulia. Now that they're the owners, they've improved even further with a great chef, Divino. Not a day goes by that I don't pop in to try their delicacies. Go there, the food is great, and above all, they're wonderful people.

09/10/2025: There is a very kind staff who can speak English very well Pizza was great
