Finally a (very nice) veggie Place in Pistoia - Edit
I travel to Pistoia often as my family lives there and since this place opened I always stop there for a meal at least! Nice local ingredients used in simple tasty dishes!

Very special hand made pasta and ravioli - Edit
A special place in the ancient centre of the beautiful city of Pistoia. The sweets and hand made specialities are excellent. Local seasonal food only with good healty choices. People are also very friendly.
Pros: Position, Nice people, Good healthy seasonal food
Cons: Little bit costly

Relaxing restaurant with good food - Edit
I went to La Mela di Grimilde three times. Food is excellent but, because they use fresh ingredients without preliminary preparation, it takes a little bit of time to be served. So it is not recommended if you are in a hurry.
The menu changes according to the availability of seasonal ingredients. Many dishes are vegan but they have also vegetarian dish. They have good vegan cakes.
Not expensive. Price is around 20-35 euros per person including wine.
Reservation is necessary.
Pros: Good food, Use fresh ingredients
Cons: Don't hurry

Excellent food - Edit
Very nice restaurant. Excellent food and in copious quantity. Service was slow but if you are not time-constrained, in good company and eating delicious food, it is not an issue (by the way, to my understanding the restaurant is run by a brother and a sister, just the two of them). The only real cons is the parking: I went on Friday night and spent sometime looking for a spot where to park the car. Bottom line up front: a place to go to have good time. PS: I suggest to reserve a table in advance.
