Trattoria Il Turista | Pisa — Restaurant in Pisa

The food here was definitely overpriced and, honestly, not something I’d recommend. The set menu cost around 25 euros, but there was nothing remarkable about it at all. The seafood and sliced pork were just average, nothing to rave about, and the tiramisu was okay at best—especially compared to the gelato we tried in Rome, Munich, and Zurich.

The place itself has plenty of space, kind of like a garden setup, although you wouldn’t think so when you first arrive because the entrance looks more like a souvenir shop. We were traveling with a group tour, and I really didn’t appreciate how they handled the seating. They squeezed all 25 of us into this small, enclosed area and told us the rest of the restaurant was fully booked. But by the time we were done eating, the garden seating was practically empty, so it was clear they just wanted the whole group packed into that tight corner.

Overall, the experience left a lot to be desired—between the bland food, high prices, and uncomfortable setup, I’d skip this place and look for...

The location is good, nearby the Leaning Tower, but the food quality is poor. I ordered spaghetti pomodoro e basilico which seemed to be Barilla spaghetti with pre-prepared tomato sauce, much disappointing. My husband ordered spaghetti carbonara; instead of guanciale they either used bacon or pancetta, and it was greasy and burnt! The eggs were overcooked and it had little to no pepper at all. We left the place disappointed. Until now, we only had from good to excellent food experience in Italy; this place was the exception. The inside garden is nice and it looked clean enough to eat, but not worth your money. Some servers don’t speak Italian and only speak a bit of English, so you might have a hard time trying to ask about the dishes and what they’re made of. Also there’s little to no vegetarian options. I wouldn’t...

Carbonara vote 1 over 5. I ate because i dont want trash Money nor discuss with staff for a replace. Lasagna was cold, we send back they microwave It vote 1 over 5. My daughter doesn't ate at all. Seafood spaghetti was watered, seema more fish soup. Vote 3 /5. My Wife ate It all, but not delicious likes many other places where She ate this particolar dish. Athmosphere was stressing because staff shout each other for some errors on orders and wrong bills. The skinny waitress with eyeglasses it's very kind professionale and lovely.

Never more...
