Antico Caffè Toti — Restaurant in Pisa

The old rule sais: If you want to check something properly, do it yourself. If I had read the reviews, I would never have gone there. But I hadn't... Thank goodness! The food was magnificent, the wine was perfectly selected, all you had to do, was trust the waiter (or the owner?). To be clear, at a very good price. Portions size vary, depending on what you order.

He offered to cook the steak more but it would not change the poor quality of the meat. On our request to lower the price the waiter said no and laught. The pineaple juice was from concentrate. The only good thigs are that the waiter speaks good English and the pizza ordered as starter was quite good. We do not recommend...
