Antica Trattoria il Campano
The adventurous Tuscan menu - pasta with leeks in cod sauce, octopus salad, or beef marinated with tomatoes, almonds and hazelnuts - at this long-time trattoria has the added advantage of being translated in English. Of the dining areas - under vaulted arches down or beneath bare rafters up - downstairs is the more elegant. Tagliere del Re (minimum two people) - a wonderfully rich platter of 12 kinds of Tuscan antipastos - is a meal in itself.

La Clessidra
At the upper end of Pisa's dining scale, La Clessidra cooks up a clutch of themed menus, including a menu tipico di Pisano (minimum two people) featuring wholly local fare, and a seafood equivalent, in a formal setting. Dolci (desserts) are girth-widening and the tourist-free green lawns of neighbouring Piazza Martiri della Libertà are a post lunch siesta delight.

Osteria dei Cavalieri
The Slow Food recommendation for central Pisa, this osteria (wine bar) serves a high-speed, one-dish only - but what a dish - the lunchtime special alongside an enticing array of other tasty morsels, including carpaccio di pulpo (octopus carpaccio). Although the size of portions may mean a siesta afterwards, the set meals are worth it and the wine list is impressive.

La Tana
With friendly service and affordable prices, La Tana is a popular venue for students and staff from the nearby university. Its fare is served up on rustic wooden tables and you can snuggle down in the booths. If you're in a rush to get back to some serious monument bashing, go for the pasta veloce - served with haste and lots of taste.

Trattoria La Buca
A favourite with both Pisans and visitors alike, this Tuscan trattoria is conveniently positioned near the Piazza dei Miracoli. The peaceful rear garden is perfect for some quiet reflection between monuments, museums and the excess of the Romanesque.

La Grotta
As its name suggests, rustic La Grotta is a cavelike place with sackcloth curtains that serves up hearty portions of good old-fashioned Tuscan fare. The menu is simple but changes monthly to reflect the season; produce is fresher than fresh.

Trattoria San Omobono
A handful of tables, one Roman column and a refreshingly short 'n' sweet menu form a winning combination at this family-run bistro near the market. Main-course staples include roast beef, tripe and stockfish.
