Osteria Vecchio Bigio In Porcari

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, quality food. Prices? More than fair! Recommended.

Excellent fish, friendly service, but that's how it should be! Otherwise, it wouldn't be an osteria!

Tried this place on a friend's recommendation. Excellent food, clean atmosphere, and friendly staff.

My colleagues and I always go there for lunch whenever we're in Lucca or the surrounding area, and we always have a great time. First course, second course, and side dish (meat) are €13, fish €22, including water and coffee. For lunch, you couldn't ask for anything better, given the portions and quality. Highly recommended.

A very charming and intimate place, albeit quite large. The decor is a bit confusing, but still enjoyable and not heavy. The food was good, the fish was high-quality, although we did notice a few small flaws: 1) My girlfriend's spring roll was frozen inside, definitely frozen (which is normal, for ready-made ones) and hadn't been heated enough; 2) The seafood carbonara was very good, with just one flaw... it was too salty. Probably, in addition to the water released by the seafood, a bit too much salt was added during cooking. Nothing irreparable or inedible. 3) The shrimp gnocchi, also very good, were a bit too oily, resulting in a bit of nausea. Overall, a good seafood restaurant, especially considering the small town it's located in, far from the sea. Highly recommended, hoping these small flaws can be fixed.

Welcoming place and friendly staff. Simple and excellent dishes. Excellent service. I will return to them in the future. 😊😊😊😊

The quality was top notch. Nothing to complain about. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service excellent. Kudos to the woman who has a deep knowledge of local wines and gave us excellent recommendations. I'm giving it 4 stars because I found the portions a little on the small side considering the prices, especially the appetizers. At €60 per person for an appetizer and a main course, the portions could be more generous.

Everything is perfect. This is such a delicious place you'll want to keep secret. The atmosphere is just how I like it. In short, come and discover this place, which will quickly become a must-visit in the region.

The food was excellent, as was the service. I recommend booking, otherwise you might have to wait for a table.
