if you want to try local specialties like Cecina, castagnacci or very good pizza - for low cost, and see the handsome guys while you eat: this is the right place. Definitely YES

This is a typical italian fast food: as a difference with most north american ones It does not sell meat but mostly vegetarian food. The pizza, called "al taglio" is the less interesting dish of La Pia (it is a fast type of pizza). Farinata (a sort of salted pancake of chickpeas) is very good expecially with pepper and/or stacchino... More

This was a wonderful treat to find. My boyfriend and I literally just finished scarfing down our pizzettes and decided we had to write a review on this place. First off, we were greeted with a smile and extremely friendly, welcoming service. When we told him we would be taking our food away, the man helping us took us over... More

Pizza for one and a beer for 11,50 euro. As you walk in there are pizza chefs bustling around and it smells like delicious, fresh Italian pizza dough! Good eats!

over 110 years of history for this special pizzeria! The "farinata" is simply the best, as well as the "Focaccia al Formaggio" (cheese pie). Very cheap and traditional.

Very hot tired and hungry threesome looking for late lunch stumbled on this jewel in a side street. Waiter very kindly explained to us what farinata was as it was obvious we were not local! We ordered pizzas , fizzy wine and cokes. We were worried that the pizzas when they came would be monstrous as the portions on other... More
