“ A warm welcome and a door that was held open for us by two friendly men is what we got as we approached the Il Peperoncino in a cold winter's afternoon. One of the gentlemen led us to a nice table for us two and promptly handed us the menu. Shortly after, while we were still browsing the menu (which has both, italian and english on it), the other gentleman brought a small basket with complimentary bread in it to our table. When it came to ordering, we werent quite sure what the one dish we sought after was actually called, but fortunately the waiter offered to, and actually did identify it by a picture we showed him - a type of spaghetti with all sorts of sea food. The other dish we ordered off the menu was a spicy pizza. The food was really good, the prices were reasonable (30 for 2 meals and 1 drink) and the portion sizes left the both of us satisfied. Noteworthy is that the seafood spaghetti were at only 13,50. After we finished our food, another Gentleman, who seemed to be the owner of the establishment, came to our table to kindly ask us if we wanted another drink or a dessert. We declined, and I asked to pay instead. As we were about to leave, the 3. gentleman inquired about our dining experience and asked me to write a review. At Il Peperoncino my wife and I concluded our trip to the Pisa Tower with a delightful, authentic italian meal in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. ”
“ By the looks of the small building of this restaurant you wouldn’t think much of it, but looks are deceiving. If you want a truly amazing dinner definitely go here! The steak was amazing and so was the garlic bread. Well done! ”
“ Given the tourist traps around Pisa tower, this is an honest place, with fair prices and good food. We went there twice. I gave the service only 4 stars, because we went there twice - the lady that waited on us was was great, but the second server was not that welcoming. ”
“ Can totally recommend to eat here! We visited 7 restaurants with good reviews during our stay in Florence and Pisa, but our best pasta was here. Picci alla norcina, with truffle was amazing ”
“ The Best Restaurant Experience in Pisa – Truly Unforgettable! If you're in Pisa and looking for an extraordinary dining experience, look no further. This restaurant is hands down the best in Italy when it comes to both food and service. Every dish we tried was a masterpiece—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what truly made our visit unforgettable was the impeccable service. A very special thanks to Ajdi, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Friendly, attentive, and incredibly professional—Ajdi added a personal touch that made the evening even more special. He gave us limoncello as a present. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back. Five stars aren’t enough! ”
