Camminando per Piazza della Signora è facile essere catturati dalla bellezza della piazza, le dozzine di statue e la moltitudine di turisti. Ma fondamentalmente, l'atmosfera è molto rilassata. Non c'è trambusto ne agitazione, ma persone che vagabondano lentamente per la piazza per godersela. Ci sono un paio di mimi talentuosi e divertenti e statue umane intorno alla piazza. Il cupido è molto divertente! Il balcone di Palazzo Vecchio può sembrare familiare se hai visto il film Hannibal. Se vuoi spendere poco evita i caffè in piazza. Sono buoni ma costosi.

Es fácil sentirse abrumado por la belleza del lugar cuando se llega andando a la Piazza della Signora. Hay docenas de estatuas y un montón de turistas. Sin embargo, últimamente el ambiente está más relajado y no está tan concurrida. No hay ajetro ni bullicio, solo gente tranquilamente admirando la plaza y comentando. Hay unos cuantos mimos con un talento espectacular que dan mucho espectáculo, al igual que estatuas humanas en la piazza. El cupido es particularmente divertido. El balcón del Palazzo Vecchio puede resultar familiar si has visto la película Hannibal. Si tienes un presupuesto ajustado, debes evitar las cafeterías que hay por la piazza. Son buenas, pero muy caras.

C'est un peu tiré par les cheveux d'appeler cet hôtel "Ibis Mitte". Techniquement, c'est peut-être dans le quartier de Mitte, mais en pratique, c'est à Prenzlauer Berg. C'est bien plus près de Schönhauser Allee que de Friedrichstrasse. Il n'y a rien de spécial à dire à propos de l'hôtel. C'est un Ibis, qu'ajouter de plus ? Ce serait comme d'essayer de faire une critique des différentes branches de McDonalds. L'hôtel n'est pas très agréablement situé, à l'entrée de la Prenzlauer Allee, une rue qui devient de plus en plus sinistre à mesure qu'on avance vers le nord. Si vous avez faim, peu d'options s'offrent à vous dans les environs. Quelques kebabs et un snack chinois en haut de la rue, mais si vous voulez quelque chose d'un peu plus classe, il faudra marcher un peu plus et aller jusqu'à Prenzlauer Berg ou en direction d'Alexanderplatz. Cela dit, il y a une station d'essence pas loin, pratique pour les boissons et les en-cas. Pour ce qui est des employés, je les ai trouvés plutôt froids et pas très aimables. Mais je ne peux pas les juger trop durement. Si je bossais derrière le comptoir d'un Ibis, je ne serai pas non plus spécialement un joyeux luron. Au final, Ibis remplit son contrat. On a une chambre modeste pour un prix modeste.

En entrant dans Piazza della Signora, on est facilement envahis par la beaute de la place, les douzaines de statues et les tonnes de touristes. Mais au final, l'atmosphere est relaxante et a l'aise. Il n'ya pas de tohu-bohu, juste des gens qui deanbullent lentement en admirant la place profondement. Il y a quelques mimes talentueux et tres amusants, et des statues humaines autour de la piazza. Le cupidon est particulierement amusant! Le balcon du palazzo Vecchio vous semblera familier si vous avez vu le film Hannibal. Si vous avez un petit budget, vous devriez eviter les cafe autour de la piazza. Ils sont tres bons, mais chers.

This place is simply amazing.
It’s a restaurant with a twist - it’s 100% self service.
But this isn’t some shabby cafeteria type deal, Numero Undici (Number Eleven in English) is oozing with style.
There are wooden beams on the high ceiling, the walls are rough exposed stone and there are chinese style lanterns hanging over dark wood tables.
Here’s how it works - You walk in and order from the hand written chalk board menu. Then you get everything else yourself - cutlery, napkins, glasses - and set your own table.
When your food is ready, they call you and you go pick it up.
When you’re done, you clean off the table yourself.

The great thing about the lack of waiters is that they obviously save a lot of money. Which means LOW prices. How low? How about €4 for a carafe of wine? Or €10 for a huge plate of grilled lamb?
It’s all excellent quality as well. Everything is delicious.
Other dishes on the menu include swordfish, gulasch, grilled pork, beef and pasta.
But the main attraction here is the meat. If you’re longing for a big plate of succulent grilled meat in Pisa, this is your place.

It also very popular with locals - always a good sign.
As they don’t take reservations, I would advise coming here fairly early as it can get very busy, very quickly.
And since it’s off the beaten tourist trail, I would definitely class this as one of Pisa’s hidden gems.

Highly recommended.

Spaghetteria Alle Bandierine specializes in, you guessed it, spaghetti!
Their dishes are a bit hit and miss, as is the service.
Come here on a good night and it’s fantastic. Show up on a bad night and, well, it’s pretty dire.
Don’t be surprised if your waiter brings the wrong bottle of wine or forgets your starter. Both have happened to me.
Prices are reasonable. A spaghetti dish is around €7 and a liter of house wine is €11.
They have a small outside seating area when the weather is warm.
Normally the spaghetti dishes are great, but I can’t make any promises.
Just come and hope for the best!

This is a sub standard Greek restaurant.
Which is a shame because the owner is super friendly.
The first 2 times I was here, it wasn’t that bad. My vegetables were cold, but they weren’t inedible. I just thought maybe they’re trying something new and they’re supposed to be like that. I mean, who serves cold vegetables unintentionally?
The 3rd time, half of my vegetables were cold and half were lukewarm. This means, you guessed it, microwave! It also means they didn’t microwave the veggies properly the previous 2 times. Lame.
When I brought this to our servers attention, she said that the chef wasn’t feeling very well.
Uh, excuse me?
We left pretty quickly after that and I’ve never been back since.

Good sized restaurant in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg.
They have typical German dishes like schnitzel and bratkartoffeln, plus American dishes like burgers and sandwiches.
Their burgers aren’t bad, but they suffer from the infamous German bun problem - a good hamburger bun is impossible to find.
Otherwise, it’s a great place. They have a huge breakfast selection, served all day (and night) and FREE wifi.
Good selection of German beers on tap.

They are also a pension and rent out rooms upstairs.
I’ve never stayed here personally (because I used to live next door), but you can’t beat the location. It’s only a few steps to Schönhauser Allee.

If you’re in the neighbourhood, definitely check it out.
