Restaurants in Pisa

Where to eat in Pisa

For one of the best meals in town, head just north of the city walls to Da Bruno for excellent traditional Pisan cuisine in a trattoria setting.
Closed Tues & Wed afternoon; Via Luigi Bianchi 12, tel. +39-050-560-818, www.anticatrattoriadabruno.it.

For a quick, cheap way to fill one's belly near the Leaning Tower, I always pop into Il Canguro, with its excellent panini (sandwiches), beer on tap, and surprisingly cheery and genuine service—something normally hard to come by so close to such a hugely popular tourist attraction. It's just a short block and a half or so due south of the tower.
Via Santa Maria 151. tel. +39-050-561-942.

Pisa has a great daily food market surrounding Piazza Vettovaglie supplying market trattorie like S. Omobono, its tiny tables ranged around a medieval column and its dishes die-hard Pisan. (The house wine is a bit odd, though; order a cheap bottle instead.)
Closed Sunday; Piazza S. Omobono 6. tel. +39-050-540-847.

Another locals' favorite is Osteria La Grotta, serving Tuscan dishes in a convivial faux-cavern setting until 10:45pm, when becomes a wine bar.
Closed Sunday; Via San Francesco 103. tel. +39-050-578-105, www.osterialagrotta.com.
