Ristorante Capodimonte Pisa

A 100% recommend!! I got this place recommended from locals and then asked the server to bring me anything local or whatever he would recommend! Especially for me who hates reading menu's!! Amazing food, lovely staff, and the atmosphere is cool as well. Currently under construction but I will not let this influence the general atmosphere 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Our hotel recommended this restaurant, it was around 10pm on a Saturday evening and it was extremely busy with locals and their families dining. We had to wait for a table but it was worth it. We were given a complimentary taster starter. My friends main was a vegetarian pasta dish and I had fish mixed with a nutty black rice. Everyone in the restaurant was given a complimentary dessert of croissant with ricotta cheese and chocolate sauce. Will definitely be going back. Their steaks looked fantastic so I will be trying one of those next.

One of the best meals I’ve had in over 50 years of eating out. Right from the start we were welcomed by a very young, very charming young man who made us feel welcome. He recommended a local craft beer which was lovely. I really fancied one of the “specials” the venison ragu. It was a stater, but I wanted it as a main. No problem. Anyway, when our food arrived… I struggle here to tell you just how good both dishes were. My wife has a pork and truffle dish. Which I think took the podium, just. But my venison was just divine as well. It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve had such a great meal. The last I can remember that was even close was jugged hare in a country hotel in the Cotswolds 20+ years ago! And the whole meal, including a great bottle of local wine came to €64. Also, my meal as a starter was €16. They only charged me an extra €4 to make it a main. If you’re in Pisa. Trust me, go here.

Finally got to try the gigantic Italian cow Chianina. All the steaks they served had been dry-aged for over 25 days. Wanted to try the regional dish bistecca alla fiorentina at first but at the end we ordered costata and filet. Filet was tender and sweet. Costata had a more significant dry-aged taste with rich umami and an intense beefy flavor with a hint of blue cheese

Meat lovers…. No visit to the area would be complete without sampling a Steak Florentine. Capodimonte served up a real treat! Modern dining room but very reasonably priced. Let’s talk steak… T.Bone from local cattle cut to order ours weighed in at 1.2kg. It was brought to the table before cooking which added some drama and anticipation. Once cooked it was served rare and sliced with the bone on a sizzling skillet which allowed further cooking if required. For side dishes we had Rosemary Potatoes, Truffle Mash & Wilted Spinach which were all cooked well. Paired with a bottle of local Red Wine we were very satisfied. After a look at the dessert menu we couldn’t leave the meal there, so many sounded so so good. The Tartaletta and Torta Raggio were a delightful way to round off the meal. When the bill is presented they also present a tower of sweets and lollipops which we really liked. Some pictures include a few menu choices but there is a lot more choice.

Service was excellent!! Nicole was personable and kind. The food was superb! Will visit again on next trip to Pisa.

I was here in the first day of my trip in Tuscany. After a week travelling around, I decided to come back to here again. Everything is so nice, the food is really amazing. It is a little difficult to get a table on Saturday night, but it is worth to wait for a while. I will definitely come again if i have chance.

We were served by a very pleasant waitress who, along with delicious food, managed to create a festive atmosphere. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and all our wishes were met. We spent a wonderful evening. Thanks again
