Tuscany is renowned worldwide for its rich culinary tradition and outstanding food and wine. The province of Pisa is no exception, and is the ideal destination for tourists who love good food and wine.
Get ready to enjoy exceptionally fresh fish dishes. Try cacciucco alla livornese, a rich, flavourful fish stew, or the famous bottarga.
As well as fish, our area offers a variety of typical inland produce. We can recommend schiacciata pisana, a savoury flatbread with tomatoes, olives and anchovies, or lardo di Colonnata, a delicious pork lard with an intense flavour. Make sure you try the pecorino cheeses made on the surrounding hills, accompanied by a nice glass of the local white wine.
In Tirrenia and in the surrounding area, you’ll find plenty of restaurants, trattorias and holiday farmhouses where you can enjoy genuine local cuisine. You can take part in tasting sessions in the local wineries, or take a look around the street markets and traditional shops that sell deliciously simple, genuine produce.
The typical cuisine of Pisa is impressively varied, influenced by the diversity of the province, which stretches from the sea inland to the edge of the Chianti area.
