Food (Cibo)

Pisa’s proximity to the sea gives it a wealth of fresh seafood to prepare along with the traditional fresh vegetables, served with every Italian meal.  Stoccafisso (stockfish) with potatoes, aragosta alla catalana (steamed lobster served on a bed of raw vegetables), carpaccio di mare (raw seafood), antipasto di pesce (salads with fish), are some of the delicious grilled and roasted fish and crustacean dishes offered in Pisan restaurants.  Another Pisan specialty is baccala (codfish), which is prepared in various ways but most often with chickpeas.  While seafood is the mainstay, Pisans are proud of their Gran Padellata del Maremmano -- a rich stew of three kinds of meat cooked with spicy sausage and vegetables.
