Osteria di Culegna Pisa

Tried this place out, and we were lucky to get a walk in table even though it was fully booked. Menu is handwritten in Italian, but the staff were kind enough to translate every dish for us. It was quite a joy to see them proudly describe their food. We had antipasti, primi, secondi, dessert and wine and it was all excellent. Price and portions were reasonable as well. Staff were really really cute and friendly as well! 10/10 would visit again, although it seems that when the restaurant is busy you might have to wait a little to get attended to but it’s definitely worth it!!

We came here to complete the pistachio trifecta (cafe de pistachio, pistachio cornetto and carbonara pistachio). The service was friendly and explained everything, with a nice old school handwritten menu. Service was really quick too and the inside was traditional cozy Italian which was great. They didn't have a veggie option but will make one so don't be afraid to ask. My bébè ordered this and it felt a little subpar (plainish broccoli pasta with stock). My pistachio pasta was very light on flavour (tasted a little lardy or me). Disappointing cause the pics look great on the reviews.

The food was really nice but the rabbit was a little bit too dry. The peppers that came alongside it were very delicious. Gnocchi was really nice with the seafood flavour. The service was really great. The steak tartare was really nice, so good with the olive oil and celery. Only lost 1 star because the rabbit was dry, apart from that it was great.

Wonderful restaurant. The food is very satiating and the staff are extremely patient and friendly. They walk me through every single item in the menu because I do not understand Italian. And the waiter/maybe owner also advised me to not ordering an extra pasta dish because it is too much food for me and she is absolutely right. Each single dish is flavorful with the chef’s own creative touch. I love them so much that I basically wiped clean the dish. The quinoa crust of the tuna gives it a very nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. The sauce makes it so flavorful. Ask note that the chef deliberately made small cuts on the surface of the tuna so that flavor could penetrate through the flesh, but the tuna itself will still holds its shape - just one of those details that make this restaurant outstanding. And the cod fish potato ball( kind of like croquettes) is enhanced by the tomato sauce. I would strongly recommend it to everyone who visits Pisa. This place has very high quality food, amazingly delicious and unpretentious, much cheaper than restaurants in Florence.

Super tasty!! I can't help finishing all the food by myself! The menu is handwritten in Italian, probably changing every day depends on the ingredients in stock. But the owner explained everything in English for me. I ordered calamari with spinach as an appetizer. The main course is gnocchi with mussels and asparagus. Dessert is homemade tiramisu. Everything looks simple but taste abundant! Definitely recommend this restaurant! Wish one day I can come back.

The waiter who took care of us was really nice and dedicated, however one lady made us wait 15 min while she was speaking with other customers to bring us the check even after we went inside and asked her. the tuna tagliatelle was extremely good and much better than the beef one. We also took one pasta dish which was a specialty of the house but unfortunately we didn’t really like it. Overall a good restaurant but nothing outstanding in my opinion.
