Known for its handmade tagliatelle, earthy sauces, and generously portioned meat dishes, the restaurant channels a warm, family-style atmosphere that’s increasingly rare. Their attention to detail is seen not just in the food but also in the Tuscan wines they bring in to pair. For those looking to escape the bustle of the city without compromising on flavour, Pietrasanta is a perfect hideaway.
