"I think this place used to be way better before, by looking at older reviews, but then something along the way started to go wrong (maybe the pandemic? . We were welcomed by the cook, who was also our waiter for the night which was ok, because it was too cold for anyone to sit outside (we went mid January , so it was only the two of us and 3 other people at another table. The place is quite dark and there was a thick smell of humidity. It 's common in old buildings in Pisa, but I don 't think it 's nice for a place where you 're supposed to eat. We ordered a Carbonara Imperiale and some artisanal Tortelloni, some house wine, and one cup of Tiramisù that we shared. The food was overall ok. The guanciale in the Carbonara was a bit undercooked. When we tried to pay at the end, we were told we couldn 't pay by card because internet is not working today and we did not receive a real bill, but just a hand written piece of paper. We were not informed at the beginning of our dinner that card payment was not available. We were pointed to the nearest ATM so that we could get cash. If you read other reviews, you can see this is not a one time thing, but it happens regularly. Notice that currently in Italy it is mandatory for any commercial activity to provide a bill and to let you pay by card, for any amount of money. The cook/waiter treated us with kindness and seems like a good person. We paid our bill, thanked him, and walked away. But we would definitely not go back. It 's probably a nicer place if you go during summer and you can sit outside, sun kissed in the little alley. I hope this place can recover, it 's a pity, because indeed it looks like it used to be better."

I advise against it. Dirty place, doesn't even deserve one star. P.S. I had ordered tonnarelli cacio e pepe, but I couldn't eat it due to what was around me. I was also in front of the kitchen and I don't want to say anything else. I don't usually give bad reviews. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €10–20 View menu

Had dinner last night with two people. Very suggestive environment, like an ancient Roman cave, with various paintings and various furnishings depicting ancient Rome. Fabulous first courses, I had an imperial carbonara and a truly delicious cacio e pepe, you could feel the top quality ingredients and pasta as well as of course the owner's skill in the kitchen. Second courses include two Roman saltimbocca accompanied by artichokes which are also truly excellent. I also had an artisanal tiramisu made by the owner and it was also top notch. What can I say, a very pleasant evening, excellent food and the manager of the place is a kind and friendly person, who entertains you by explaining the gas...

We were near the restaurant at lunchtime and we went to try it guided by the good reviews, I called first to make sure, seeing that people said it was very small and with very small they fell short, there were 2-3 tables outside and 4 tables Inside, fortunately he saved a table for me for a few minutes. The place is very peculiar, it looks like a real Roman tavern due to the state of the place, but the food was good and the owner was very friendly and helpful, there was no one else in the establishment and as he explained to us he had had a technical problem and was waiting for them to come to solve it, so they could only offer us spaghetti carbonara or amatriciana. We chose the carbonara an...
