Ristorante Quarantuno

If you’re visiting Pietrasanta and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, La Perla di Pietrasanta is an absolute must. Tucked away in a charming corner of this artistic Tuscan town, La Perla blends refined Italian cuisine with warm hospitality and an atmosphere that’s both elegant and inviting.

The wine list is exceptional, featuring a curated selection of Tuscan labels and rare finds from across Italy. Whether you’re seated in the intimate indoor space or under the stars in their beautiful garden courtyard, the ambiance sets the perfect tone for a romantic dinner, a celebratory gathering, or simply a meal to remember.

Ristorante Quarantuno is my favorite restaurant in Pietrasanta. We’ve been coming to eat here since 2016. The food is consistently brilliant and I have happily been working my way through their changing menu and specials with my wife and other members of our family. The owners, Vera & Stefano and their staff are top notch and always take very good care of us, sometimes squeezing us in when they are crowded on a weekend and we’d forgotten to make reservations. Yes. There are also many other good restaurants in Pietrasanta, but Ristorante Quarantuno is where we happily keep coming back! Check out their Facebook page!

A very arrogant owner who doesn’t allow single diner into his restaurant. The facts: on the 25th July at 13h10, I stepped in into Restaurant Quarantuno. This was on a rainy day with one table occupied inside and two outside, a waitress came to assist me but when the owner heard that I requested a table for one person, he immediately came to me and said “I have no table” in a very insulting way. Reading the comments for this restaurant, this is not the first time that the owner is acting in such a discriminate way. There are plenty of restaurants close by with decent hoteliers willing to accommodate anyone, so avoid Quarantuno restaurant.

Dishes with porcini, garlic especially tagliolini and trifolati, were on top!

Good food and good service. The tiramisu was the best I’ve had in some time. I’m not saying the food was mediocre or anything but just the tiramisu at the end of the meal was the best! Really, you have to try it if your ever in Pietrasanta. The owner is very intelligent also because he is one of two restaurants open for lunch. The others were closed at lunch time.

We’ve been coming here for the last four years and 41 has consistently delivered great homemade cooking. This year, it seems they’ve updated their style (plates, table sets) and menu. Vongole with botarga - what a treat!! We loved it and will surely return 2026

Best authentic Italian pasta in town. We had an amazing black truffle pasta, very nice white wine & very friendly English speaking staff. Highly recommended!

Another good Italian meal. However, don't fret as it's never tiresome. Three of us had lunch with a nice bottle of wine. All delicious. The staff were not only competent, they were friendly and fun.

Grazie Mille! Thank you so much for the amazing dinner tonight. My husband and I really enjoyed dining with you all. What a lovely restaurant and absolutely delicious food!! We live in Northern California and your restaurant would succeed in our area too! My husband loved the lamb dinner and I loved the crispy chicken dish. It's no wonder that one of your locals told us that you are the favorite restaurant in town!! We agree!! We will be back and we will tell our friends about you! Continued success to you!!

nice, but tricky: the outside tables are empty but not given to locals or Italians....only to foreigners. also, you are not allowed to pay one bill with two cards (in case you want to share the bill) good choice of wines
