Visiting Ristorante Galileo time and again throughout the course of the year is a delightful experience. Our kitchen alters the dishes on offer to match the passing seasons, so the focus of the menu changes throughout the year, yet there is never any compromise to our dedication to respecting tradition and to using the very best ingredients at all times.

We always recommend to our customers that they sample our authentic hors d'oeuvre, which include a range of dishes based on salami, as well as Tuscan sausages  (from "sbricciolona" to the more compact "finocchiona"), well-cured "Prosciutto Toscano" (the local version of what is commonly referred to in English as "Parma ham") and "Lardo di Colonnata" (a special type of bacon fat). Our "crostini" (fried bread) with liver pâté is unmissable, as are the other variants of this Tuscan classic.

After your hors d'oeuvres, you can move on to fantastic starters such as "Pappa al pomodoro"  (bread-based tomato soup), "Gnocco rucola e parmigiano" (arugula and Parmesan cheese gnocchi) and "Maltagliata al branzino" (rough-cut sea bass), to name but a few.

The main courses provide a mix of tradition and creativity: "Trippa alla Fiorentina" and "Bistecca alla Fiorentina"  (Florentine-style tripe and steak), or "Tagliata di manzo con rucola" (slice of beef with arugula), complemented by our succulent side dishes, such as "Fagioli all'uccelletto"  (beans with tomato, garlic and sage). As an alternative to meat, you can choose one of the fish-based mains, such as: "Seppia con la bietola"  (cuttlefish with beet), "Baccalà con porri"  (salted cod with leek) or "Stoccafisso con patate"  (stockfish with potatoes).

Your entire meal will be accompanied by a variety of wines from our exceptionally well-stocked cellar. The wines on offer range from the finest bottles made within the province of Pisa itself to some of the most prestigious examples of Brunello.

If you prefer, you can always opt for one of our extensive array of great pizzas, including local favorites and variants from further afield, all cooked in our wood-fired pizza oven .

To end your meal on a high note, you can enjoy one of the seasonal desserts  or sample some of the incredible ice cream  that is specially made by Enzo.

We have always prided ourselves on the courteous service we offer and on the high quality ingredients we use to make our wonderful dishes.
