Saturday dinner is clearly a popular option at this place - we booked around noon but during our evening meal around 100% of the capacity was turned away; apart from an elderly couple of locals who wanderd in and were seated - a nice touch. Food was good but I'd not share the rabid enthusiasm for their fish - the... More

We had lunch at the Osteria San Paolo and had the best seafood "fritti misti" I have ever had. The presentation was mouth-watering and the seafood was cooked to just the right tenderness. Fresh lemons complemented the flavors of the seafood. Portions were generous and you could tell that the chef and servers loved to see our enjoyment as the... More

We arrived in Pisa and could not wait to try this restaurant after reading all of the other reviews on trip advisor and were not disappointed. The food was amazing! I had the seafood set menu and my girlfriend had the meat set menu. I cannot describe how good the seafood was. For starters I had a shellfish broth and,... More

We had a spectacular visit to Osteria San Paolo. We were staying outside of Pisa and had come in for the afternoon to visit the tower, then get dinner before picking up additional family members at the airport. I mention this because we were a party of 8 (then 10) including a somewhat fussy 12 year-old that took over a... More

We found this restaurant by searching for the best restaurants in Pisa - we were not disappointed. We had a wonderful 4-course Seafood set menu on the first night, which included very generous amounts of shellfish, particularly the first course which was described as a soup but was in fact a fabulous large bowl of shellfish in a delicious broth,...

We visited this restaurant after reading excellent reports, but were initially a little disappointed, as the staff seemed a little standoffish. I began to wonder if they had suffered at the hands of previous British customers and, once they realised that we were both friendly and polite, they began to warm to us, so much so that, as we were...

We had just one night in Pisa and after reading the other reviews we chose this restaurant and were not in the least disappointed. Lovely fish, attentive service, in a restaurant slightly tucked away from the tourist traps. We thought it was good value for money. It is worth seeking out.

Ate here on our only night in Pisa and were not disappointed. The seafood platter starter was superb (if a little expensive at 15€pp) and we followed with the Lobster pasta (excellent) and Sea bass ravioli (also excellent). Service was friendly and polite although very limited English (the English menu helps). The house chianti was also very good.
