Vecchi Sapori della Lucchesia In Lucca

13/04/2026: If you're looking for a historic restaurant, run by the same family for over 50 years, then you must stop by Gianni's. Home-style cooking in a casual atmosphere. The dishes are simple and tasty. Signora Anna is happy to sit with you and chat. For a pleasant journey back in time, I recommend a stop.

12/04/2026: I used to go there as a boy with friends in the late '90s, and today I'm back after a lifetime! What can I say? They're always welcoming, and the lady (Gianni's wife) is still there, still a brilliant person. The restaurant is a gateway back in time, unchanged, with all the charm of our old, traditional cuisine that you can only find in these places! We start with an appetizer of fried polenta, cured meats, and fried gnocco (all local, of course). I choose the inevitable tortelli and mixed roast rabbit, chicken, and ribs. If you get to the end, you'll find zuppa inglese, tortellini, and coffee for dessert. Being lactose intolerant, I managed to eat the pumpkin and potato ones with olive oil very well, obviously skipping the desserts and just watching others enjoy them! For me, it's always a YES, and I give it full marks.
