A couple of years ago we took a cheap flight from Coventry airport (since closed unfortunately) to Pisa and stayed for a few days at a really basic hotel near the railway station.
Apart from the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral and the Basilica we didn't think that Pisa had an awful lot to offer, a typical university town, but we found it very convenient for visiting Florence which we loved. We also went to Lucca an old walled town just a short train journey away from Pisa, most attractive place..
We did find two great restaurants in Pisa, courtesy of Virtual Tourist. One was a little upmarket and quite expensive but the food was great. The other one however catered mainly for the locals and students. They sold pizza by the metre as well as typical local dishes. It was very cheap but the food was outstanding. The owner told us they seldom had English visitors and we were treated like royalty. We only had time to go there a couple of times unfortunately.
All in all a wonderful few days break.
