Sant'Agata - Locanda Ristorante

We loved the place! Restaurant with a majestic maple tree providing shadow creates romantic ambiente. Risotto with duck tasted like a dream and cheese variation was fantastic. Delicious wine, panna cota and tiramisu. Staff very polite and helpful. Great place to stop on your way to see the Pisa tower if you want to taste local food.

We were on our way to Pisa one week ago and since we were looking for a restaurant we were attracted by the nice lighting and design of the restaurant. We stopped, played with the restaurant’s dog and had a good feeling until we asked for a table for two. The waitress checked ourselves and then asked if actually we want to see the menu first, before sitting, as if our look would be inappropriate for the expensive location. We confirmed we want to sit and we will check the menu while being sitted. We were not super hungry so we ordered one chefs surprise menu for two( two plates). After bringing us the starters we understood the waitress ordered two menus and not one as asked. When we questioned this, it was mentioned one menu cannot be served for two according to the restaurant policy although nobody told us this when we ordered. Meanwhile since the restaurant’s dog started to fight with a client dog, we saw another waitress picking the restaurant’s dog and beat him on the head although it was clear not the animal’s fault for not being trained how to interact with other dogs. Last but not least, one dish from this chef’s surprise menu was including beef carpaccio served without asking previous to the serving if our heath condition is allowing us to serve raw meat or if we have allergies to any of the surprise menu dishes. Such a bad experience although the other served food was good.
