Photographer's Note
The cuisine in Pisa offers lots of variety and taste, as diverse as the lands around it. From the sea to the farmland and on to the hilly landscape dominated by grain, olives and grape vines to the rugged, wooded landscape.The many restaurants in the historic center offer typical dishes from Pisa, as well as fine, protected products, such as Monte Pisano olive oil, Pecorino cheese, Parco di Migliarino lamb, Pisan beef, San Miniato truffle, pine nuts, mushrooms, Pisanello tomatoes and much more. Tuscan bread, made without salt, is an essential element of Pisan cuisine and the base of many canapés which are served as appetizers.
Pisa’s cuisine varies from fish and seafood specialties to game dishes. A typical dish of the area is a simple soup called “Sullo Scio” prepared by frying some garlic, rosemary and peeled tomatoes in oil, adding water, broken up tagliatelle (wide pasta noodles) and served with Parmesan cheese. Mushrooms are an important feature in Pisa’s cuisine and they can be eaten simply sliced and dressed in a salad or in more elaborate pasta sauces.
As far as desserts, a particular mention goes to “Torta con i Bischeri”, a pastry based tart filled with rice cooked in milk and flavored with lemon, vanilla and nutmeg with the addition of chocolate pieces, candy fruit, raisins and maraschino liqueur. Desserts are based on the traditions of the poor and are made with dried fruit, chestnuts, pine nuts, chocolate and wine.

Hello Daniel,
A cleverly composed image giving us a glimpse of this restaurant courtyard. Very good light management. I especially like the colours and textural detail to be observed in the metal door.

Hello Daniel,
This sculpture was too good to resist as a natural border or spyglass to your scene!
We can't help surreptitiously peeping through the hole.
It would have been perfect if a diner had been at the table but that was a bit beyond your remit!
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Daniel,
Une très jolie composition. L'image est bien construite à partir du trou dans la statue. La table est prête aussi bien y aller avant que quelqu'un d'autre la prenne.
Amicalement

To learn a country means not only to see a few monuments, I think the local cuisine is is a relevant part of a country, very nice photo taken through a "keyhole", superb idea

Hi dear Daniel
Great idea to peep from a small hole in a broze obje.
Naming title is also witty and reflecting with your high sense and humor.
All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hello Daniel,
It would have been fun to have someone sitting at one of the tables, but it's a good composition anyway. The colours of the wall and the tables contrast very nicely to the green sculpture, and the oval hole creates a good observation post. As for the note, one of the few really bad meals I've had in Italy was in Pisa. It was too close to the "leaning tower", so they lived entirely on tourists and always had new customers whatever they did.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Daniel,
The interplay between the work of art and its very nice both smooth and rough textures and the outdoor restaurant behind it is wonderful. The composition is excellent and the colour contrast is superb. Very well spotted!

Hello Daniel
I love this kind of use of modern art for the framing of some attractive elements in the surrounding. You mastered the distance of field beautiful by creating a sharp foreground and background.
Well done
Have a nice day

Ciao Daniel
se non sbaglio questa è una delle opere di Kan Yasuda.
Buona la scusa per parlare della cucina pisana, ottima nota, molto curiosa.
Bella la foto, mi piace questa inquadratura.
Saluti
