Find the best restaurants in Pisa, from Pisan trattorias around the Vettovaglie market to Erbaluigia, listed in the MICHELIN Guide, and seafood by the beach at Marina di Pisa. Check contacts and plan your next meal.
Pisa eats best a few streets away from the souvenir stalls of Piazza dei Miracoli. The everyday kitchen of the city sits around Piazza delle Vettovaglie, the old market square behind Borgo Stretto, where trattorias still serve baccalà with leeks, tripe, peposo and bordatino, a soup of beans and cornmeal. Look out for Mucco Pisano, the local breed of beef raised in the San Rossore park, and for cacciucco, the fish stew shared with nearby Livorno. Erbaluigia, on Via San Frediano, is listed in the MICHELIN Guide, and Foresta takes the guide to the beach at Marina di Pisa. South of the Arno, the San Martino quarter adds quieter osterias and family dining rooms. Holiplanet built this list on 30 October 2026, checking each restaurant on its official website or, where none can be read, on its Google Business Profile with current opening hours, and keeping only places with table service and a full menu: no cecina counters, pizza by the slice or wine bars. It is an independent selection, never paid.
