Very good food, very good service. Despite being busy, they were attentive for the bill and any drinks I ordered. The spaghetti carbonara was creamy and as good as it ought to be. Not flooded by the tourists. Would reccomend!

Delicious food and great place to stop for a bite when visiting Pisa. Staff were lovely and the lasagne was delicious. We were lucky to listen to a musician playing alongside the restaurant.

Found this little gem! Definitely not a tourist trap at all. I paid €37 for this 3 course meal + Aperol Spritz! This is an authentic Pisa restaurant. I was surrounded by Italians, the Google reviews were all Italians loving this place! and it was not that busy at all. Definitely recommend going. Very underrated!! I will come again!!!

We were seated right away, this was a busy restaurant slightly off the tourist route. The wild boar pasta was fantastic. Lasagna was more of a béchamel sauce rather than tomatoey. Pizza was very tasty but very difficult to cut.
