Alessandro Solo per 21 In Lucca

Great restaurant with a touch of high kitchen and a great environment!

Hands down our favorite place for fish in Lucca! Julia and Gabriele have an intimate room and superior menu. Perfect when you want a change from the "tipico" Luccesi fare. Recommend the prix fixe menus.

A delightful dinner, thank you!

They only get better. Tops on our list of Lucca favorites. During another month in the city to learn Italian and establish a bit more of a foothold we dined here again and tried even more of Gabrielle's creations. Julia took wonderful care of us, making excellent suggestions including wine. The Asian-fusion character of several of the dishes will break up the Tuscan routine for you. Seafood-centric and imaginative. In a small but tastefully decorated dining room just a street off the Piazza Anfiteatro. This time the specials drew us. A wonderful duck ravioli appealed to the wife. A perfect-sized "salad" of polpo (octopus), mango, pomegranate, herbs, and other ingredients was a revelation. We've tried most of their desserts including a lemon tart but I found a favorite in a pear tortino on a base of salted caramel that knocked it out of the park. This is a must-go if you crave something other than the fiorentino, tordelli, or pizza that are offered aplenty in this lovely city.

A place where Italian culinary culture combines perfectly with oriental influences. Excellent welcome, really hospitable owners, and excellent quality/price ratio. Strongly recommended for a fish-based dinner that is different from the ordinary.

For 21 it has 21 seats because 21 is the right number for the couple who run it. Refined dishes that are the summary of the culinary experiences they have had around the world. The one in Singapore was undoubtedly the most significant and you will also find it in the furnishings. This restaurant has truly enriched us, in the stomach and in the spirit 😉

We had a wonderful dinner in this restaurant welcomed by Julia's smile! She and her husband run the place which seats 21 people. The fixed price menu proposal included a choice of two or three courses for an excellent quality price and satisfying our request not to overeat. We tasted their new oil, grilled scallops with porcini mushrooms, crispy sea bass on a ginger and carrot sauce, pappardelle with coconut milk, prawns, tuna and red curry in an explosion of exotic flavours, all taken care of down to the smallest detail. Lastly, the delicate lemon cream on a basket of phillo pastry and berries! In short, I don't know what more to ask for. In addition to the excellent cuisine, we spoke with Julia who told us their story as restaurateurs which we were fascinated by. Eating well, with very fresh and perfectly paired raw materials and making friends with them transformed this dinner into an experience that we will carry in our hearts and hope to return soon! In the meantime, I recommend everyone to take a pleasant break with them ❤️

We spent a nice Saturday evening with a couple of friends in this small, intimate and tastefully decorated restaurant. The food was excellent and enriched with interesting influences. The owners were very friendly and professional and looked after us carefully without being intrusive. We'll be back.

I went to this restaurant because I read that it does fusion cuisine, and I like to try new things when possible. I tried a tasting menu at 38 euros (starter, first course and second course excluding drinks) which was truly excellent with creative and light dishes which did not disappoint me in any way. We will be back soon to try the à la carte menu. I do not recommend the restaurant only to those looking for traditional flavors and balances, here you will find creative cuisine given by the work experiences that the chef and owner has had around the world.

Este es un restaurante muy pequeño (cabe solo 21 personas), por lo que es mejor reservar. Mi marido y yo fuimos allí por primera vez la semana pasada. Es un restaurante íntimo, interiores modernos y un ambiente tranquilo y elegante. Los anfitriones son cálidos, serviciales y amables. El menú no es muy grande, pero interesante. El menú de vinos era bueno. Los anfitriones eran muy atentos y serviciales con respecto a nuestras intolerancias alimentarias. Pedí las vieiras con salsa de porcino, luego los raviolis de pato con salsa de espinacas. Mi marido tenía una pasta entre y el pescado principal. La presentación fue hermosa, y la comida era buena. Las salsas estaban muy ricas. Mi impresión es que casi todos los platos vienen con algún tipo de salsa, así que un poco francés en ese sentido. Comeremos aquí de vez en cuando porque el menú es pequeño y la comida es rica. Yo recomendaría este restaurante.
