What differs between a trattoria, osteria, ristorante and enoteca?
I can’t be the only one that got quite confused with the different ways that Italians name the foodie meetups. But lately we have been in Italy quite a few times, so let’s try and break them down in a way that we can all understand it a bit better … here we go! Trattoria: You can expect regional cuisine at a trattoria, quite inexpensive but with a larger menu than the Osteria. Traditionally the Trattorias were family-owned, like rustic neighborhood restaurants. Osteria: Supercheap, kind of like the hostel version of a restaurant with communal-style tables.

Pisa
So okey, I’ll start out by apologizing for the poor quality in the images, they were acually taken quite some time ago. A few years before Harry meet Sally, or Angelica meet Lee, your choice. But as I knew Lee before I ever meet Anglica, Lee was actually with us on this spur of the moment trip to Pisa, along with my husband and one of our childhood friends. Pisa is one of those cities that I would love to re-visit. Even though the city is really small and you dont need more than a weekend to see it all, its a great little city. The leaning tower is clearly…
