Osteria dal Manzo In Lucca

Excellent cuisine and professional but friendly service.

Always nice to come back every year for Lucca Comics. Quality restaurant, even with special dishes that are hard to find elsewhere (like brain fritters). I recommend trying it.

5 days in Lucca for work, and Manzo was our little corner of peace and a paradise of goodness every evening! On various evenings we tried almost the entire menu and each time an explosion of flavours, goodness and taste. Side note in support: if with a name like that it was easy to think of Florentine, diaphragm and delicious cuts, the fish was also a unique delicacy, not to mention the MYTHICAL black scone in the bread bag... Number one 🔝

Wonderful tavern, if you pass through Lucca you absolutely must try the dishes offered here. Obviously I'm talking about a place for meat lovers, it is also possible to find vegetarian dishes but Dal Manzo, meat is the main ingredient. A note of thanks to the service which is impeccable and the selection of wines excellent. In conclusion, a truly warm and welcoming place. Highly recommended!

A very nice Osteria, family business, lovely staff. Very child friendly. A small but fine menu and a good representation of Tuscan cuisine

We booked a place here on a Friday evening. When we turned up we found that we had booked for the wrong day and the restaurant was fully booked! In spite of that they accommodated us and boy am I glad that they did. The food was extremely good and for me was the perfect balance between simplicity and fancy dining, showcasing good ingredients. Pasta dishes were tasty and beautifully presented. My son had pork neck which seemed to be an enormous shoulder chop. This was perfectly cooked, tender and flavourful. I had a perfectly cooked veal cutlet and my wife had tuna which was also perfect. No room for dessert but we had them anyway! Service was excellent - friendly and attentive. I congratulated, who I presume to be the owner, on the way out on the fantastic restaurant. He smiled and patted his hand on his heart three times which to me summed up the love that goes onto running a restaurant like this. Highly recommend this place.

Exquisite food, excellent wine list, welcoming and kind staff.

Beautiful atmosphere in an authentic Lucca street. This Osteria was recommended to us by our hotel, we sat outside under a few umbrellas while it was raining lightly. Thanks to the waterproof umbrellas and candles on the table, the setting turned out to be quite romantic. Lovely!

Di ritorno da un weekend al mare, non avevamo intenzione di mangiare ancora pesce, ma poi, stuzzicati dal menu', ci siamo lasciati attrarre e non ce ne siamo pentiti. Tutto ottimo! Compreso il servizio, attento e cordiale. Bravi!

Mixed feelings. Nice location, very friendly waitress. But very small portions (fish, gnocchi), not impressed by taste of the latter, and lots of patience required despite the terrace being half empty. Really didn't want to leave that review considering how nice and helpful the waitress was, but kitchen not following..
