Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The location is really very nice, with a refined and well-kept look. A sober and elegant mise en place in harmony with the rest of the room with quality background music that makes the atmosphere pleasant.
Unfortunately end of positive notes:
Slow and very rough service, our waiter rather mellow and rude for the duration of the meal.
We ordered a pizza, waiting almost an hour, waiting not understandable as most of the surrounding tables were eating kitchen dishes.
Pizza not leavened at all, a brick, plus absurd prices, 18 euros for a pizza with anchovies and zucchini flowers.
Too bad it could have been a nice experience because the place is really very nice.

Cute restaurant located in a disastrous, abandoned and badly maintained area of Montecatini.
Meat service a bit slow, but we ate very well!
Cut and fillet cooked to perfection... as a side dish delicious potatoes.
Appetizer of Tigelle also good but without any prevailing flavor.
Cabin but elegant.

After a long time I returned to La Cascina
The opinion is overwhelmingly positive: wide choice on the menu, generous portions, quality food. The friends opted for the sushi and were very satisfied, I chose the cod cooked at low temperature with avocado mayonnaise: a delight for the eyes and for the palate
The place, more like a club than a restaurant, has an almost international feel
The distance between the tables is very appreciable
Excellent choice of wines and bubbles
It's a shame they no longer offer the amazing dark chocolate with almonds that was offered with the coffee
Service a little slow, but on Sunday it's acceptable
I will be back soon

Went for sushi, total disappointment. The fish was completely covered by the chosen combinations, rice too heavy, prices not up to the quality of the sushi. Desserts are even worse...absolutely avoid tiramisu

Went here on recommendation. The atmosphere of the restaurant is superb! Very nicely dressed, really a hidden gem.
We had physically reserved for the next day (didn't succeed by phone) and then decided on the spot to eat some sushi / gyoza for the small appetite, fine! It was possible to get a place without Reservation. (note that you pay €3.50 p.p. for some soy sauce and chopsticks with the dishes. Coperto is normal in Italy, but for us this was the most expensive coperto in the region).
However, the next day the promised table in the garden was no longer there, there was also a ? behind the Reservation while we were only 2 min “late”. There was also some discussion between the employees where we had to sit. We were put somewhere in the back corner, where the atmosphere was many times less in our opinion. The waiter standing at this table seemed inexperienced and did not understand us, inexperienced is okay, but we also felt he did not do his best to understand us or ask for help from his English speaking colleagues.
They have a nice wine list, but red wine is not at temperature in a climate cabinet. The main courses were delicious!
After the plates have been removed we have unfortunately not seen anyone at our table. It took a long time to speak to one of the wait staff to ask if we could pay. Then it took at least 30 - 45min before we got the bill (requested several times) and the colleague in question made a sneer at the waiter of our neighborhood, not quite neat.

I have been frequenting this excellent restaurant for several years now which in my opinion is the best in Montecatini Terme, thanks to the competence of the owners who always take great care of the organization of all departments from the excellent cuisine to the excellent service in the dining room and bar. Very tempting menu and large wine list complete the work. See you soon

The restaurant looked amazing from outside and thought our 16 year old would love it. They loved the setting alright, but dinner was one disappointment after another. Service was terrible, the glasses of wine we order were just thrown on the table, we had starters. The pasta had been left under the heat drying it up. The antipasto was just ok. Pizza and salad were our second, 1 of the pizzas arrived with the salad and the next pizza took at least 10 minutes to get there, soggy and with a full plate of rocket lettuce over it. Don't order the ceaser salad, my tummy still reminding me. They never asked if we were happy with anything and was a cover charge of 3.50 per person before you had anything to eat.

We stopped here for a quick lunch bite on the recommendation of our hotel, LHP. The gal at reception said it was one of her favorite places to eat in Montecatini Terme and it was just a quick 5-7 min. walk from our hotel.
The menu here is unique and diverse from sushi to fusion to traditional Italian dishes with an artful presentation. My polpo croccante was thoroughly delicious and although listed as an appetizer, it was enough for an entree. My husband ordered a traditional margherita pizza and for dessert, the pistachio soufflé which was TO DIE FOR! If we had stayed another day, we would certainly have returned to try other dishes that looked amazing. In addition, the restaurant setting is quite beautiful and serene. A rather hip and cool place to dine for lunch or dinner!

This restaurant is superb. As most restaurants in Montecatini patrons are locals and Italian tourists, so the food must be good, and it did not disappoint. Ambiance is beautiful, service was at a high level, including the wine bottle opening and pour. Must have reservations, the place starts to get full around 9;00pm and it is closed on Mondays.

Definitely a point of reference for restaurants not only in Montecatini but throughout the province of Pistoia, interiors full of very suggestive plants, averagely good dishes, not up to the prices (which are high but absolutely in line with the type of restaurant) , excellent wine list. Of note is the not excellent service perhaps due to the large number of seats and the few waiters, some of whom are very young. All in all I will definitely return, more than pleasant experiences.

Lovely venue however meal and service was really disappointing. The pizzas were very ordinary. One of our party ordered a pizza with artichoke but was disappointed that none were evident on the pizza. Had to go looking for staff to question about this and were told our waiter would be found and sent to us. The waiter eventually turned up to say they had run out of artichokes. We pointed out that it would have been helpful to know this when we made our choice. The waiter was very off hand telling us he was unaware so could not have informed us. The pizza base was soggy and inedible. They did not charge us for the pizza when we complained, however spoiled what should have been a nice evening. We will not return and would not recommend.

We came here when there was an open air musical just next to the restaurant. Instead of just turning the restaurant music off they had it competing with the musical. It was horrendous, The staff were not helpful when we said it was a problem,
We couldn’t concentrate or enjoy our food at all.

Ate here due to it being highly recommended. Ordered a large pizza with ham, olives, and mushrooms. When it arrived all these ingredients were piled in one spot plus the ham was nothing more than cheap very salty thinly sliced deli meat. After requesting our check, the wait to receive our bill took forever. We then found we'd been charged an extra 7 euros, 3.50 per person for splitting a meal. Guess we never realized a large pizza would be considered a meal for one.

Fabulous place, really nice, alone worth the visit. Friendly and kind staff. But the best thing was the really good meal, you can’t find a fault even looking for it with the magnifying glass. I will definitely be back

Hi setting was lovely. One staff member had no training at all but I’m sure he’s there a while. Food was very disappointing. 4 of us for dinner. 3 ordered starters. Rating one out of 5. My pizza came when all had finished their main course. Some of the expensive Italian ham on the pizza was like eating timber. Pizza I couldn’t even touch after trying. We left ASAP. Cover charge 14 euros for 4 of us. I wouldn’t recommend it. My wife is still suffering the day after.
