Collegio Culinario In Lucca

Spectacular low temperature pig, what can I say, good and friendly

The kids are doing really well, today I was really happy and proud to have found a hit just outside the walls of Lucca. Small place with just 9/10 seats, I would dare to call it not only a culinary college but also a small culinary shop in which young and willing guys try in a more than excellent way to give and offer the diner dishes that I dare say are original but at the same time tasty without the need to distort everything, in short. dishes that are easy to read and most importantly the flavors are all recognisable. In my humble opinion the menu is well studied and what is fundamental there are not 15 first courses and 18 second courses, the customer can choose between 2/3 first courses of fish and meat, the same goes for the second courses and the starters. The thing that I appreciated and I assure you is now becoming a rarity is that of putting bread on the table. Note of merit as a welcome they offer you a free reduction to drink with really good raw ham, oil and tomato as well as a mini pan with hand made mayo. Let's get to the food, I chose katsusando with cloth crusted prawns with lime mayonnaise and purple cabbage. Good I would have liked to taste more lime in the mayo but in any case they are details, I also appreciated 2 things the first the coarse breading of the prawn capable of giving it crunchiness and above all they did not fail to inform the customer that the prawn was frozen, in fact there was the asterisk. However, a good workhorse, the thing I appreciated was that the bread remained crunchy, collecting all the flavours. In my opinion, cappellacci with green pasta is the dish you must try because it is that classic dish without defects, the pastry made with the chlorophyll of purple cabbage, and very light, they explained to me without the addition of eggs, porous but at the same time a cloud, the filling of white fish (snapper) could be felt throughout, accompanied then by that base which was illegal because it was too good with extract of mussels, piennolo tomatoes and the Lucchese oil was a spectacle, I don't want to say it's bullshit but the filling was also creamed with the same oil. The price of these dishes is around €13 / €16 for the first courses, while for the second courses it can reach €21 for the beef cheek. You can also opt for a tasting course of €60. Total cost covered, water, glass of wine, starter and first course €40. Must try.

This small restaurant on the outskirts of Lucca was a pleasant discovery. From the welcome aperitif, to the excellent and non-trivial dishes up to the pre-dessert. Choice between meat and fish courses, all worth trying. Very kind waitress. We will definitely be back.

It is a superlative restaurant, very good with any dish. Kindness.

if you go to Lucca you have to go through the College

The food is AMAZING and very tasty. You get small treats like a welcome drink and an amuse guele as well. The waitress is very friendly and attentive. Great experience, we had high expectations because of the rating/reviews but they've been surpassed.

We're only part way through dinner, but already booking for lunch and looking to extend our stay in Lucca so we can eat here again. Unbelievable food, ambience (incl. playlist) and service before you even consider value for money which is exceptional. It should be fully booked, for the foreseeable. So go, it'll improve your life.

Diner was amazing, the waitress was very kind. Would really recommend to go out here for dinner.

What can I say!? Experience to be recommended, place just outside the walls of Lucca, young staff who knew how to pamper us from the beginning, with a welcome spritz made with the select (not to be underestimated) until dessert. Since I am gluten intolerant I was able to eat almost all the dishes, including desserts. Note of merit for the geese wine, for lamb and aubergine, as well as tartare As well as the desserts, with original plating.

Restaurant near the Lucca motorization. First impression It must be said that you can't recognize much, the only sign present is "Restaurant" which is a shame as it gives little visibility to the place. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by the protagonist of the room, Aurora, a super distinguished and kind woman, whose presence and professionalism were greatly appreciated. The only inconvenience but not caused by them, but rather by the TheFork and Google community, there are still some menus which in reality have been removed. We continue with the decision on the seating position and we perceive that: inside there is a lack of intimacy. The choice of furniture, seats and colors for the interior was excellent, but there was no 'liveability' of the seating space. So little space between one table and another. We therefore decide to sit outside. More open, perhaps more intimate but more spartan. The real gem of this place are the dishes, the creativity of the latter and the quality of the products used is the same one that left us amazed, both in terms of taste and tenderness of the fish. The quantity of the dishes may not seem like much, but it manages to satisfy every stomach as well as the palate. The desserts and their presentation are much appreciated. It's a bit of a shame for the environment, but surely the owners will be able to "prepare" some solution in this regard. My most sincere compliments for the service Luca S.
