Osteria Vecchio Bigio In Porcari

01/04/2024: We come from Rome and my wife and I decide to quickly visit Lucca, take a walk in the center (inside the walls) and maybe have a bite to eat in a typical restaurant. My wife visits this tavern, practically at the beginning of the course, and we decide to have dinner there, perhaps with a first course and a side dish. As soon as we entered we were greeted by the very kind waitress who explained the various dishes to us in detail. We also know the two owners Piero and Francesca, brother and sister who together with their very nice family manage this truly pleasant place. After a pleasant chat I decide to have some typical tortelli with meat and vegetables obviously homemade which literally made me clean my plate!! Traditional recipe but reworked by the same restaurateur in a perfect way… Also absolutely worth trying are the "popped beans", a simple side dish but always revisited in a "mother's recipe" way. Absolutely logical prices and high quality. If we were to do it again we wouldn't think twice about returning also for the hospitality and kindness of this beautiful family. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
