Osteria del Porton Rosso

This pleasant, homey osteria is located less than a fifteen minute walk from Pisa’s famous tower and right by the river. The waiter recommended the spaghetti con frutti di mare with “fruits of the sea.” The spaghetti is filled with mussels, clams, slices of squid, and chopped shrimp. The wine adds a lot of flavor, in a good way. Fresh parsley and a hint of red pepper freshen and spice up the dish.

For a main entrée, the suggestion was a filettto di tonno alla griglia, which is generous slices of seared tuna tagliata, browned on the outside but rare on the inside. Seasoned lightly over lettuce and raddichio and finished with fresh lemon juice, it’s a filling but not heavy or oily.
