In Pisa, Tuscan cooking comes alive in trattorie and bustling markets: fresh pasta — tortelli, pappardelle and gnocchi — comforting ribollita and acquacotta, cecina (a thin chickpea pancake), and lampredotto, a grilled tripe sandwich sold at street stalls. Local cheeses and cured meats, new olive oil, wines from the nearby hills and vernacular varieties accompany every bite; markets overflow with seasonal produce, and family-run eateries and cafés serve gelato and handmade pastries for a tasty break between sightseeing.
