Osteria Tosca In Lucca

01/06/2025: Excellent culinary experience 😉young and competent staff👏👏👏

24/05/2025: We were at the Collegio Culinario three years ago. In fact, we returned to Lucca just for this restaurant. So, this time, we were very disappointed. Like three years ago, we chose the set menu. Back then, it was €60 including wine pairing. This time, it was €65 without. So far, so good. The dishes are still highly creative. However, the portions are, with all due respect, outrageous. After five courses, I was still hungry. That's unacceptable. Very disappointing. Because of the portion sizes, I have to reduce my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. Below is my review from three years ago. "Awesome for food lovers, and only for them. This is all about excellent food and the celebration of culinary art. The location isn't that great. Located on an arterial road, with a gas station diagonally across the street. It's practically located in a small industrial area. We bravely walked 1.3 km there. Otherwise, to the point: Fine dining at its best with three exclamation marks!!! Everything is just right here! Interior: Relatively small dining room and outdoor area. Great restroom, tasteful interior. Service: Very nice, competent girls who provide excellent and friendly advice on both the wine and the food. And of course, the kitchen (!), which shines with sensational taste experiences. By the way, the price-performance ratio is excellent for this level. We'll be going again today. Many thanks to the entire crew for this fantastic gastronomic experience."
