Caffe Monica In Lucca

07/01/2026: Pizzeria on the promenade. The pizza used to be good, but I think pizzerias don't exist anymore.

05/09/2025: Food was okay, but the service was disappointing. This is the second day in a row I’ve witnessed rudeness from staff: yesterday directed at me, and today at other customers. At lunch, the restaurant had only three tables to serve, including mine. One table had ordered both appetisers and mains, and when asked if they wanted everything together, they said yes. The waiter first brought the appetisers, then just minutes later also brought the mains. Since the tables are quite small, there was no space for all the plates, and when the guests shrugged, the waiter snapped (in Italian), “And what am I supposed to do?” Later, when another table was waiting to order, after being reminded by his colleague, he loudly said, “Where did these two appear from?”, again in a rude tone, and loud enough for everyone to hear. The snapping, rude comments, and assuming no one understood his remarks in Italian really spoiled the experience. The food might be fine, but the service is simply not for me.
