Black Blue - PISA

Saw this place in the afternoon and it looked good with decent prices so came back for dinner. We were given food menus only so had to guess at what drinks they had. Food and drinks order was taken at the same time. The aperol spritz had something on the orange so they swapped it very quickly even though my wife was just going to pull the orange out. Food arrived pretty quickly along with parmesan cheese. The food wasn't particularly hot, but it was all tasty. As soon as we'd finished the bowls were whisked away. Everything just seemed really rushed, not the Italian way we've come to know. I realise it's not a restaurant, but still, I expected request for second drinks or deserts? A couple camein and ordered drinks only. They were given bruschetta. crisps and other nibbles, on the house. Tasy food, but certainly not somewhere for an evening meal.

We stopped here initally as it was raining and we wanted to shelter. What a stroke of luck for us. Rose was a fantastic hostess and chatted to us for a while. We ordered cocktails and she brought us some bread and meats to nibble on (free of charge). We went back here 2 more times. As much for the friendly service as for the good value cocktails (5 euros or the cocktails) I would definitely recommend this place.

I was in Pisa for the first day and when no other restaurants were open, I was welcomed and I could order delicious snacks, drinks and food. Very kind host and kind service. I sat on the main street, drinking a cocktail and watching people. I eat delicious spaghetti carbonara and melon with prosciutto. The evening was a success.

We wanted to have a quick coffee after the amazing but tiring experience of the Pisa tower. We had our lucky day when we found this little place, and because of the warm welcome of the owners we decided to come back after our city tour. And what a great decision! The food was amazing (fish and chips and soup) and the hospitality put the point of the i of our Pisa visit. Thanks a lot!

We stumbled across this by accident and it turned out to be the best thing we did on our trip! We had a warm welcome from the lovely Rose who instantly made us feel at home by giving us free hors d'oeuvres and one of the best ciaproska's we have ever had! Because of the wonderful reception, we came back to meet rose again and Federico, the owner of the bar. They both were so lovely in fact, we ended up spending the majority of our weekend with them, eating, drinking, laughing and even went to a football game which was organised by Federico! An unforgettable experience with unforgettable company. Thank you so much Federico and Rose for making this weekend an amazing one. Two of the kindest people I've ever met. Highly recommend this place as it truly shaped our wonderful experience in Pisa.
