Bar Da Bao In Lucca

02/11/2025: We went here for dinner during Lucca Comics and Games. The dining room was obviously full, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and not at all noisy despite the crowd. We ate really well; the ingredients were of excellent quality and were put to good use by the kitchen. The waiters were friendly, although the only small drawback was the half-hour wait for our order (only one waiter took orders for two dining rooms). This was more than compensated for by the speed with which the kitchen brought out the dishes! For two appetizers, two first courses, two desserts, and wine, the total cost was €80. Highly recommended; if we ever return to the area, it will be one of our go-to places! A small personal note for the restaurant owner: the tartare was so high-quality that the cucumbers somewhat overshadowed the flavor of the meat. Personally, it would have been perfect with just the sauce and the excellent capers!

17/10/2025: Everything was great, the location and the food were exceptional. I only have one comment or suggestion I'd like to make based on experience, and I hope the management doesn't mind. But if the dining room is empty and a single guest arrives, who is 99% of the time in the area for work—and I think that's understandable—rather than stuffing him between an affectionate couple and a couple of close, slightly noisy friends... maybe it's better to find him a more secluded spot, so he can perhaps make a phone call home or to a friend while he waits.
