It's traditional Tuscan restaurant. Meaning - if you are vegetarian, don't bother. On the day we…read morewere there, no pizza was available, for unknown reasons. They have some non-meat dishes, but somewhat strange and not many of them. Meat options - that's different, probably 3 pages. No English translations in the menu, but staff was able to explain what is what. Talking about staff, they seemed to be concerned with many things, but customers were low on priority list that evening. I had entrecote, ordered it with grilled vegetables, but vegetables never arrived, despite asking twice. All in all ok, but not very pleasant experience.

When we came into the restaurant, we noticed, that we where the only guests - so we had some doubts…read moreif it would be a good idea to eat here. Unfortunately we couldn't find any alternatives in Pontedera, which lead us to the decision to be brave and eat here. As soon as the starters - it should have been a selection of typical italian ham and sausages - were served, we got absolutely sure, that it wasn't a good idea to stay! Some slices of unappetizingly meat products on a greasy eighties-style plate... Unbelievable, but the main course was able to lower the level several steps! The meat was at least questionable when not mouldy, it's presentation was just unloving, quick and dirty. Overall not the typical meal experience you would expect in Tuscany.

What a great find! Not only was the pizza perfect, the atmoshere is cozy and well decorated. Very…read morecreative. The staff is friendly and helpful. Coffee and tiramisu delicious. Highly recommend this place. And if i lived nearby I would be a regular. We need a restaurant like this in Hawaii, I know it would be a great success.

To sit on medieval balcony and watch the sunset as you dine on a meal you won't forget is why you are here. The warmth from the staff and proprietors makes you not want to leave. Did we mention the food? Magnifico!!!!

Due to bad weather we went there several times and impressions were always good. Very cheap but good wine, attentive waiters with sense of humour and quite good English. Strongly recommended.

I lived in Italy for 4-years, from 2009-2013 and haven't made it back for a visit since moving…read morehome. (I have a trip back planned in August though!!) So, it's been about 3-years since I've been to Il Fornaretto. And, you guys... 3-years later, I STILL dream about this place and their amazing pizza. I compare all pizzas to Il Fornaretto's and none have topped them, yet. This place is in Tuscany but off the beaten path -- about half way between Florence and Pisa. If you find yourself anywhere within 50-miles of Ponsacco, trust me and make a detour for this wood fired pizza! I suggest the margherita, add salsicca and rucola but you won't go wrong with any order!
