    Ristoro al Vecchio Teatro

    The Vecchio Teatro’s genial host is proud of his set menu, and for good reason. The four courses are dominated by local seafood specialities and diners will encounter delights such as torta di ceci infranti con le arselle (an unusual savoury cake of smashed chickpeas with mussels) and risotto with prawns and orange. The dessert finale includes a castagnaccio (sweet chestnut cake) that has been known to prompt diners to spontaneous applause.

    Il Montino

    Students and sophisticates alike adore the cecina (chickpea pizza) and spuma (a sweet, non-alcoholic drink) that are the specialities of this famous pizzeria. You can follow their lead or instead opt for a foccacine (flat roll) filled with salami, pancetta or porchetta (pork). Order to go or claim one of the outdoor tables. You’ll find it in the laneway ­behind Caffetiera Ginostra.

    Enoteca Osteria Il Colonnino

    Located in the warren of medieval streets between Piazza San Francesco and the river, Il Colonnino is a great spot for lunch, aperitivo or dinner, with modern-accented Italian dishes providing perfect accompaniments to an impressive wine list. The weekday lunch deal of a daily plate, water and glass of ‘good wine’ (€10) is a steal.

    Bar Pasticceria Salza

    Salza has been tempting patrons off Borgo Stretto and into sugar-induced wickedness ever since the 1920s. Claim one of the tables in the arcade, or save some money by standing at the bar – the excellent coffee and dangerously delicious cakes and chocolates will satisfy ­regardless of where they are sampled.

    Osteria del Porton Rosso

    Two menus – one from the land and one from the sea ­– tempt at this old-fashioned but excellent osteria in a laneway behind the Royal Victoria Hotel. Here, Pisan specialities such as fresh ravioli with salted cod and chickpeas happily coexist with Tuscan classics such as grilled fillet steak.
