Visiting Lucca for the first time, I fortunately found a reference to this restaurant before we arrived and booked an evening meal, as it is difficult if not impossible to book on the day as it gets fully booked.
The reception on arrival and the friendly staff during the evening made our visit. The attention to detail was excellent in both the staff and the food. Pasquale suggested the best wine to go with the food and was happy to change it where it didn't suit our taste.
The food is superb, fresh and very tasty and beautifully presented.
I can recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting and it would be a good reason for us to return to Lucca!

Last night I dined at da Pasqualino with close friends. The Osteria is always booked solid so you MUST make advance reservations!
Fortunately, I did. The ambiance was cozy and warm and even through the restaurant was full, we were easily able to carry on a conversation, which was really nice. Our server was very good and really knows his wine! The wine list is quite extensive. The food was excellent and Pasquale was there making everyone feel attended to and happy.
I highly recommend this very authentic Osteria!

We went in February, on a Saturday evening, my partner and I, after several unsuccessful booking attempts: it was an excellent experience, we really enjoyed our stay.
The place isn't very big. He moved here recently, from an adjacent room. It is located in a small square, behind Fillungo, in the center. It is a welcoming place, a large room, with a modern rustic style.
As soon as we sat down we were greeted with a glass of bubbles.
We ordered various things, all very good. We shared a caponata that was out of this world, really good. Proust madeleine stuff.
A few days have passed and I don't remember exactly the dishes we ordered (I'll post some photos), but it was all good, plentiful and tasty. A cuisine made of good raw materials and with a light but substantial touch.
The manager, Pasquale, a true innkeeper with a great knowledge of wines (as demonstrated by his cellar), likes to keep the number of seats limited, to personally look after the customers.
And this is a fundamental part of the experience: he is a delightful person and knows what he does. He recommended the perfect wine to us, a Dolcetto, immediately understanding what we might like in combination with what we had ordered.
The service was generally attentive, courteous, thoughtful and friendly. What more could you want!
A truly pleasant experience to repeat every time we want to have a real cuddle.

The four of us were 100% satisfied with Pasquale in his beautiful new location (next to the old one).

My family and I were lucky enough to reserve the last available table for dinner on Monday 2/17/25.
Pasquale is a charming and friendly host, fluent in at least four languages and eager to share his passion for fine wines and delicious food.
The white and red wines he offered us to accompany our meal were excellent and excellent value for money!
He has an astonishing selection of wine gems in his cellar, ideal for discerning millionaires! 😁
A restaurant where we will return with great pleasure!

We chose Da Pasquale as it was rated No.1 in Lucca and we were not disappointed. The internal courtyard is beautifully lit in the evening and the atmosphere convivial. The service throughout was superb and the food very tasty. The wine was outstanding - huge glasses, excellent quality and very reasonably priced. You need to book. This is deservedly a very popular place.

Ci siamo presentati senza prenotazione e il proprietario, persona squisita, ci ha trovato 6 posti servendoci egregiamente. Sevizio ineccepibile e cibo ricercato dall'olio, passando per il pane, fino al dessert. Esperienza da rifare, posto straconsigliato.
