Fiaschetteria ''La Pace'' — Restaurant in Pistoia

We chose to dine at Fiaschetteria "La Pace" in Pistoia after seeing its excellent reviews on Google Maps, and we were not disappointed. The food was truly delicious, and the positive reviews were spot on.

The service was remarkably quick, and the menu offered a great variety of tasty options, from pasta and meat dishes to a good selection of vegetarian choices. The Pici with Cacio e Pepe was out of this world and the best one I ever had.

The only downside was the heat. We had a reservation but had to sit inside as there were no outdoor tables available. On a very hot day, it was quite warm inside, so it's something to be aware of.

Despite the indoor heat, the food and service made the experience worthwhile. We recommend this restaurant for a fantastic...

However, we were unfairly charged 5x coperto (€12.50), instead of 2, as listed in the menu (€2.50 per person). This is misleading and feels like a deliberate attempt to overcharge tourists.

Ok, andiamo per gradi: siamo a Pistoia senza prenotazione e vaghiamo. C'è questo ristorante fiaschetteria... proviamo. Il menù  è  pieno di cose buone: prendiamo pici cacio e pepe e gli spaghetti con la burrata ed il pomodoro. Ottimi entrambi. Appena ti siedi, ti portano al tavolo un sacchettino con il pane e la schiacciata buonissima con cui ci fai la scarpetta perché mica vorrai sprecare quei sughetti?  Poi ci facciamo fare un piattino con pomodorini e burrata: ottimi prodotti perché se li servi così devi essere certo che non ci sia bisogno di alterare i sapori delle materie prime, vista la qualità. Gentilissimi tutti,  zero attese sebbene il locale sia bello affollato nei tavoli esterni e interni. Il locale è arredato con gusto in stile rustico ma con elementi trendy. Apparecchiatura minimal intonata e adeguata. Bella anche la musica di sottofondo. Che dire? Andateci a mangiare, davvero.  Prezzo assolutamente adeguato. Capisco perché il locale era pieno (Unico in centro...
