Funiculi In Lucca

08/01/2025: Chef Mancino is a real guarantee, he has been able to adapt the Neapolitan cuisine by aiming it at the Tuscan one, finding himself inside the Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte. Three tasting menus with different itineraries, all sublime.

30/12/2024: I had a great time, I liked the food a lot and the proposal was varied, refined but also with flavors that were very traditional for me and in fact I really appreciated certain choices. The best of all, perhaps, however, was the red mullet and the truly surprising starters. The location obviously speaks for itself, and is something wonderful, but also the plates, ceramics, cutlery and glasses are truly beautiful and original, always perfect for every dish. Personally I can't find any faults. Big compliments to the guys who accompanied us through the experience, all super prepared, impeccable and attentive to everything (they didn't let us touch a bottle or even a teaspoon for the coffee, they pampered us and served us with attention in everything). We were looked after by the Arab girl from Morocco (who served us and the next table) who managed to take time for everyone, explaining the dishes to us calmly and precisely. It also surprised us how he was able to seamlessly change from French to English to Italian between tables without leaving anyone without service at any time. Obviously, no less important, the sommelier was also very, very polite and very knowledgeable about everything but never invasive, always warm and not cold in his dealings with us (as often happens in many places where we are always treated with politeness, but also with a certain detachment which I personally like less), but in general the whole prince's team made us feel really at ease from the moment we entered. In short, for me and my family it was certainly the best experience in a restaurant we have ever had, both from a culinary point of view and for the experience itself, truly another story.
