Antica Trattoria da Bruno Review

The decor is typical, cluttered trattoria -- paintings of the Duomo, pictures of the owner with famous people and of the local soccer team, copper pots -- for this is a typical trattoria that has been dignified to ristorante status only through its years of deserved success. It specializes in tried-and-true Pisan dishes. The prosciutto con crostini antipasto is as good as it comes, to be followed by pasta e ceci (pasta with garbanzo beans) or zuppa pisana (a very bready Pisan ribollita). Although you can order well-turned versions of agnello arrosto (roast lamb) or coniglio al forno (baked rabbit), the famous secondo here is a Pisan baccalà con porri, salt cod cooked with leeks and tomatoes.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
