Pizzeria Athena In Pietrasanta

12/10/2025: We arrived in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro and found ourselves in front of the restaurant da Cicci. Cristina and the owner Paolo welcomed us like family. The place is very nice and well-kept. The porchetta and the Fiorentina are truly delicious. I highly recommend it. The wine is excellent. It's a must-try every time we return to Lucca.

10/10/2025: Absolutely wonderful. We happened upon this small establishment by chance and were delighted by our experience. Most importantly, the food. We had a variety of dishes; bruschetta, pasta, filet, sausage and potato, deserts and each one was spectacular. The service was not only efficient but personal and friendly. Viola was a delight. I did not get everyone’s name that cared for us but I felt like I was at an old friend’s home for dinner. If you want to have pizza in the Piazza with a hundred other people then you should do that. But if you want to have a dinner that you will remember 5 years from now and eat real food served by people who care if you love what you are eating, then go here!
