My girlfriend and me were advised by a student guy from Pisa because we asked for a good restaurant, but we didn´t even think that it was so great. We wanted to save money because we did interrail all over Italy so we ordered only to pay like 12euros each one, pasta, salad, and wine..and we ate a lot, it... More

We were recommended the restaurant by the wonderful Luca, owner of the 4 Rooms B&B. A fantastic intimate experience. The food was excellent and the flavours divine! We both ordered the pasta with aubergine topped with smoked mozzarella and basil oil with golden strands of saffron which gave the dish a distinct edge. I would strongly suggest that you book...

We arrived in Pisa to a beautiful B&B the Five Roses. She recommended this restaurant and from the food point of view she was spot out. It was faultless. However it does not open until 8pm the evening we were there. We called to the restaurant cold and hungry at 7.30 after seeing leaning tower as it was close by.... More

Called up the restaurant to make a reservation and were told to come at 10.30pm because they were really busy at the time and don't have a table. We came at 10.15pm and as they said the table was still not ready but we were seated down 15 mins after. The most dissappointing part of the evening was the food... More

Very local (no menu in Italian), a chef who came out to see how the diners enjoyed the meal, great food, nice staff! What was not to like! Opens at 20:00 and is closed on Monday.

Had a great meal here for our first night in Pisa. Menu was explained in English and we tried food we didn't get offered anywhere else during our trip. Great service and food. A+++

Surrounded by frenetic tourism we escaped into this restaurant having recognised the name from the TA reviews. Unfortunately this busy restaurant, was not set out to deal with coeliacs (although a surprising number of Italian restaurants are). Although the waitress took our order for plain grilled steak, the Chef emerged from the kitchen, wringing his hands with apology, to explain... More

Ate here on our first night after reading reviews on TA. Service friendly and nice atmosphere. We enjoyed the mixed breads which we had as a starter with some oil and vinegar. My husband had a lovely homemade lasagne and I had parpadelle ragu which unfortunately I found rather tasteless. Tiramisu dessert was lovely. Overall we would recommend
