Gelateria Paniko In Lucca

01/06/2025: Service: The service at Il Grammofono is fantastic! The service here should be found in every restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our table. The menus were explained, and recommendations for the food, course selection, and wine were given. New cutlery was served with each course, and the service was always cheerful and extremely attentive. We had a dog with us, and we were given a seat in the corner so our dog could have some peace and quiet and not bother anyone. A bowl of water was also immediately brought to our dog. Since we both have experience in the hospitality industry, we were very pleased with the excellent service. Food: We spent a week in and around Lucca. We always ate out for lunch and dinner. We enjoyed the food at Il Grammofono the most! We were immediately captivated by the modern fusion cuisine. The portion sizes were just right, the flavors came through perfectly, and each course was a sensational culinary experience. There was only a small selection for each course, but it was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. The bread, by the way, is freshly homemade. Ambience: The ambience is very sophisticated. The restaurant has an elegant and sophisticated feel, and you can see in every corner that it has been decorated with love. You immediately sense that Il Grammofono is a labor of love. While you dine and linger, you are accompanied by appropriate jazz music in the background, which was a bit too loud for me personally. But that was perhaps because we were sitting near the speakers, and the music could certainly have been turned down a bit upon request. All in all, a visit to Il Grammofono, despite the high price range, is absolutely recommended (for example, at the end of the holiday season)! Tip for tourists: Il Grammofono does not offer typical Italian cuisine.
