Historic cafe on the Arno, a meeting place for scholars since 1794, suited to aperitivo or a quiet early-evening drink.
Caffe dell'Ussero is one of the oldest cafes in Italy, in a palace on Lungarno Pacinotti and associated with Pisa's academics since 1794. The interior has period rooms where scholars and patriots of the Risorgimento met. It is best for coffee, aperitivo or a calm early-evening drink rather than a late night. Prices are moderate, at roughly €4-9 (~$4.60-10.35) for drinks.
