Caffe Tessieri In Lucca

Super friendly service, Aperol Spritz for €6 great snacks, would come again anytime!

A small bar in Lucca's historic center, barely larger than a room with a few tables facing the balcony, plus another modestly sized interior room. They also offer lunch service, with frozen products and no "artisanal" preparations, as they lack a proper kitchen. The dessert display is disappointing: only frozen croissants, along with a fruit tart and an Easter dove cake that are anything but pleasing to the eye. Then there are many processed products (candies, chocolates, cookies, Easter eggs, etc.) from more or less well-known brands, including Venchi. The coffee quality is barely passable. The service is friendly, yet aloof. The prices for croissants and coffee are average, but very high for processed products. In response to the owner: no "unfair criticism," just a REASONED and factually supported viewpoint. The display is sparse, with croissants clearly frozen (the fact that they come from an external supplier makes no difference). A tart and a colomba cake, sad to even look at. And then nothing else available: quite respectful for a place founded a hundred years ago. And yes, I confirm, Venchi, Majani & Co. ARE industrial products. Excellent quality, but industrial products nonetheless. They urgently need to reconsider. ;)

Hi, your coffee is the best in Lucca. Could you tell me what brand you use? I'd like to try it if I can find it for my home. Thanks a lot, Gianfranco.

Lucca's ancient café with top-notch products 🔝

Love this bar. So evocative of old Italy that I knew as a child. Super friendly staff. Negroni to die for. Great gifts. AND the only place I have found locally that sells Acqua di Cedro. Not to be missed if you are in Lucca. carinaintoscaca.

They make really outstanding coffee, but that’s just the beginning. Tucked away on a quiet street just one block away from Via Fillungo. I stopped in for lunch and had the most delicious pumpkin risotto - perfectly seasoned and really tasty. The staff is kind, friendly and welcoming, and it is beautifully appointed inside. I’ll be back soon, just to take in all of the holiday decorations and pick out some special gifts.

Cute. Cozy. Cool. Friendly. Delicious. The Tessieri Spritz (with fresh squeezed Orange & Lemon juice) was especially refreshing on a hot day.
