Buca di Sant'Antonio In Lucca

Wonderful Meal at Buca di Sant’Antonio We stopped by Buca di Sant’Antonio during a day trip to Lucca after it was recommended to us—and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming from the start, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. The food was outstanding. We started with the beef carpaccio topped with truffle and shaved parmesan, and it was to die for—delicate, rich, and full of flavor. The pasta that followed was just as impressive: fresh, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. The chefs even came out to greet some of the guests, which added a really personal touch and showed how much pride they take in their work. This place blends great food with genuine hospitality, and it made for a truly enjoyable lunch. If you’re in Lucca, it’s well worth a visit. As a bonus, we happened to be seated next to a local olive oil producer and had the chance to sample some of their oil from Pisa—which was a really cool and unexpected experience.

Nice atmosphere! A bit pricy but generally worth it.

Wonderful experience of an old world Tuscan atmosphere with excellent cuisine and service

A must go to in Lucca. Authentic Lucchese cooking. My wife had pappardelle in rabbit sauce and I had tordelli al ragu. Both really delicious. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great service and experience. Loved the food and decor.

Very good little restaurant for a top experience in Lucca and Italian dishes

Excellent Lovely owner and staff Exceptional dishes with delicious flavors

A very welcoming and high quality place, I absolutely recommend booking or it will be difficult to find a place (even in the middle of the week), but it's worth it! Excellent food starting from the first choice ingredients, very beautiful and well-kept place, extremely kind and helpful staff, they make you feel like you are at home (but always standing out for their professionalism). Excellent prices, given the excellent quality of this place. If I were to return to Lucca, I would definitely go there again.

Ero a Lucca per lavoro e la scelta di questo ristorante e stata "casuale". Ben posizionato (praticamente in centro), in stile "trattoria, ma elegante e curato. Ho mangiato una ottima Fiorentina servita al sangue, tenera e gustosa. Il servizio è stato di livello e il conto adeguato. Molto consigliato.

My wife and I had a wonderful, relaxing and delicious lunch seated outside. The service was very Italian which was to our liking. I had pasta with truffles and Goat. My wife had the local tordelli. It was all delicious. I would return given the chance.
