Best Pichi in Tuscany! You can tell from the "imperfection" of the pasta that it is fresh and homemade. And Yes, maybe service is a little slow but it couldn't be more worth while.

We have been there already in 2017, since then this counts to be one of the best restaurants we've ever visited. This year we came back and it got even better! That's the best pick in Tuscany if it's about true, traditional and authentic food.

I went alone, but it was a good experience. They looked busy because with some people, but the service was good. The coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was good.

Love this tiny restaurant in Pienza! All of the pastas and appetizers are terrific! Our group of six especially liked the Pici and the very friendly owners Emilio and Joelma. Even though our Italian is poor, we communicated perfectly over delicious food! We even had to have a souvenir shirt to commemorate our meal!

We loved this little restaurant. We had a plate of antipasti and then the tagliatelle with cinghiale. It was absolutely delicious. I can’t resist vinsanto for desert. Highly recommended.
