We had been recommended to go to this restaurant, so we booked it for our first night in Pisa. We booked online. Imagine our frustration when we arrived to find the place was shut. 😡 we went back an hour later to find it still...shut. When we got back to our hotel (with WiFi) we found that the restaurant had cancelled our booking 7 minutes before our table was booked. We had already left our hotel and had no Internet. Surely restaurants should not accept online bookings for evenings they decide to close. Their publicity still said that they were open.
We still wanted to try the place, so we went back two nights later. Sadly, we wished we hadn’t. The waitress was not at all helpful or friendly and seemed more interested in a young man who seemed to be her boyfriend. She was either talking to him, or stood next to him looking around the restaurant with her arms folded, looking very bored. She even went outside with him for a few minutes at one point, leaving the restaurant unattended.
Our starters were fine, nothing special but nicely presented. My husband’s fish dish had small bones in it, which spoiled the meal for him. My pasta was really chewy. There’s al dente and there’s chewy! It did taste good though. We waited for the waitress to ask us if we wanted a dessert, but she didn’t ask at all, so we asked for the bill and left.
Such a shame. We had great meals in other restaurants during our time in Pisa. Just not this one.More
