Pisa Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Pisa

February 22, 2018 Tonie Szymanski

Go ahead and take that photo of yourself with a tilted hand "holding up" the Tower of Pisa. We won't tell; your rep as a sophisticated traveler will remain unblemished. Now that you've gotten that out of the way, climb the tower's 300 steps for a tilted view, or visit the National Museum of San Matteo and the Camposanto cemetery.

La Panacea

Reviewed By Alessandro M - Horsham, United Kingdom

We have been invited for dinner upon our arrival in the area. We started with mixed starters including fried porcini mushrooms then had a wonderful fiorentina that was totally mouth watering literally! The venue is ok and the service is very attentive although at time chaotic but the experience all in all a very good one!

India Ristorante

Reviewed By Rishi P - The Netherlands

I visited the restaurant on a day trip to Pisa. The restaurant itself is a 10 minute walk from the leaning tower of Pisa so it is easily combinable. The food tasted great and the personnel was very friendly. The prices were great, we paid 35 euros for 2 persons. For that price we got soft drinks, 3 chicken dishes, 2 naans and some rice. Moreover, I am a frequent visitor of indian restaurants and have never gotten my food so quickly!

Il Peperoncino

Family run restaurant specialized in traditional Tuscan dishes

Reviewed By Martintracy - Rugby

Excellent little Italian restaurant not far from the Square of Miracles. Many of the restaurants in the locality have someone outside trying to get you to eat in their restaurant this one does not which for us was a big bonus. A small shop front, looks like there are only a couple of tables but there are more at the back. The owner was really friendly and checked people were happy with their food throughout the evening. Nothing was too much trouble, he took the time to explain the specials in detail. The food itself was delicious, I saw a couple of reviews on here that said the food was not fresh and was out of a tin, if so I would like to buy that tinned food as it was tastier than I’ve had before. The goats cheese bruschetta was amazing, our pasta mains were some of the best we’ve had this trip and we finished our meal with the cheese platter. All round excellent meal, service, price and menu choice. Don’t leave it too late to eat though as you’ll be waiting for a table - they start serving at 7pm so I would recommend arriving within first 15 -30mins of opening to avoid disappointment.

This restaurant is located on an alley in Pisa and offers amazing Indian food. It is a charming little place with English speaking servers. Our samosas were hot and flavourful and the nan was garlicky and tasty. The aloo paneer was spicy and savory. Service was quick and the prices were reasonable.

You just have to try this place! It's very tasty. Tell them what you like and bear with them. They know how to satisfy your palate. Bit cramped but this is what makes the place very relaxed. Came back there twice and loved it! Great quality and cheap!

Reviewed By desinerg - Sydney, Australia

Very friendly staff, easy to follow menu (English option) but the sandwiches were ok. We got 4 sandwiches, admittedly they are very large and heaps of ingredients but out of 4, 2 were pretty good and the other 2 were Ho-hum. Ok sandwiches but not so amazing as everyone makes out.

Reviewed By Annie25W - Durham, United Kingdom

Visited as a result of great reviews on Tripadvisor and we have to agree with all the great comments.
We chose one "special" pizza of Mortadella and a whole Burrata cheese and the Greek salad. It was loads of food for two people and we were pleased we had not ordered one each. It was delicious.
Lovely friendly service as well.

Reviewed By Ravennarose96 - Tomar, Portugal

Decided to visit because it was nearby our B & B, but we're very disappointed. Pasta was just ok and the the duck special was the tough, served over a gummy "potato puree" was one of the most disappointing dishes we have eaten in Italy.

Ristoro Il Giardino Nascosto

Reviewed By FalconeMatteo - Turin, Italy

I have been here twice: the first one to try and the second one to celebrate my graduation party! The place is beautiful, far from the noise of the city and nestled in the countryside! The way to arrive is a bit rough, but it's worth it. Robert is a great host, despite of his young age, and he makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend this place, you'll enjoy it!
