Lunch, June20, 2017: Authentic seafood 3 blocks from Pisa Centrale. Homey, very delicious food from…read morea family run restaurant. My elder daughter found this when we planned a day trip to the leaning tower of Pisa. There were a bunch of locals and some tourists at lunch time. The lady who took our order was very cheerful and took pains to explain the Italian-only menu.
We ordered some prosecco and they proceeded to cool it in a bucket, while they served the appetizers: The shrimp was crispy and you can eat the skin, sauce was delicious. My grilled Seafood platter was an incredible value, I had salmon, squid, a large prawn, skate and some branzino, with some vegetables. The branzino filet (they call it sea bass) with olives was also quite tasty, as well as the gnocchi in pesto. The only one we didn't like so much was the sliced steak, which was just okay (still, not bad for . I guess here one should order seafood.
The gentlemen proprietor offered us the digestif Amaro, which had a very interesting taste and really rounded out the meal.
Definitely recommended for lunch or dinner.
