★★★★★a month agoReally nice location. We had a dinner event there and enjoyed it. It was a bit loud with so many people because of the acoustic of the building but still nice.

★★★★★8 years agoIt’s a very nice restaurant, good service, delicious diets and drink, and the most important thing is it’s large space and historical interior. It locates nearby the river and the Pisa city walls. A very good experience to me.
