This restaurant is filled with culture, friendly staff, music, and fun! The food is phenomenal, we repeatedly chose to eat there during our 5 days in Pistoia. The music provided by staff while we ate made the evening memorable. The taste of the truffle pasta draws us back to visit again!

We had been there twice, coffee was very good and not expensive at all. 1 Euro for an espresso and 1 Euro for a piece of homemade cake! To take a coffee break in the city centre, this is the place to go. Also friendly and helpful staff. Didn't try any other food or dishes.

In a pedestrian street into the Pistoia city center as "Via del Lastrone" is, short but lined by restaurants, you may not notice the peculiarity of "Caciodivino". But we turned there, in a crowded Sunday in September, because we were just looking for this property. And we have to confirm the overall positive opinion given by the majority of reviewers.We opted for a first course and a main dish. I chose tortelloni stuffed with "burrata" (a kind of mozzarella cheese typical of Puglia), with olive sauce, and with tomatoes chopped in small pieces. My wife preferred "pici" pasta, with a delightful pesto sauce and soft cheese.As a main dish, we both chose the "terrine", ie egg with soft cheese cooked in a terracotta pan. I have also asked for a grilled vegetables' dish.All the dishes seemed to be made with top quality ingredients and carefully cooked. Just the portion of "pici" pasta seemed to my wife a bit small.The wine we have been recommended, a Sangiovese called "Prunideo" (because it grows in the middle of the prunes), was great; we ordered a glass each.The bill paid for two people (including, besides the quoted items, a bottle of water and two coffees) was 66 euros.Very courteous service by the two girls at the tables.It is advisable to book (we have found two seats just for chance).

We were staying in a villa near Pistoia for a week and had occasion to frequent many restaurants within the city. But Pistoia is more than a bit challenging to get around, and even Google Maps, who Iâve never known to fail, had trouble guiding us to locations in Pistoia. So when we set out to find Osteria La Limonaia it was a pleasant surprise to discover that itâs just outside of Pistoia and trivial to find, even without Google Maps. When we arrived we drove up a beautiful garden gateway and were greeted by the staff as we parked. We sat outside and had a very pleasant meal where we dined on specialty beef and fish dishes and of course we had delectable pastas. The deserts were also spectacular in the Italian tradition. The prices were reasonable and weâll definitely go back to Osteria La Limonaia when we next visit Pistoia.

Upon reading trip advisor reviews we sought out dinner on our way home from a long day of touring. This restaurant is tucked in a local neighborhood away from the tour spots. The restaurant is casual and food was excellent and unbelievably reasonable in price! Though the owner and waitress didn't speak English very well or at all, we were able to communicate just fine. It's quaint and the food was perfect for our family of 5 (kids 13, 11, 8) thank you for a great family dining experience !Dear SirsThanks to your great family for your visit.We are very happy to know you have appreciated our food and our service.And we hope to see you again!Best regardsAmici di Malù

Good home cooking at "normal" prices. No wine list just the house wine, which certainly could be improved upon. I had to remind one of the ladies working there not to forget to bring the vino to our table [outside]. While they prepared the pasta dishes we ordered [good, but just that] we got offered some cheese to kill the time. Certo, grazie! The meat dishes we ordered were very good and I found my side dish, cooked red onions, very, very tasty. The bill for two came to 45 euros [including caffee but without any deserts], so one can not complain really... Oh, and a well maintained WC!

Breads and tartares combined with excellent wines per glass in a very welcoming environment. Again inspired by Tripadvisor, this bio restaurant knows how good taste and smiles bring out the best in people. We found mostly locals; the place doesn't shout out on the streets for customers. But do come in and put on your smile! The rest will follow, even if you speak French mixed with some Italian ;) We'd love to come back!
