Awards 2018

05/08/2025: The flavors of each dish were perfectly balanced and surprising. All the dishes were meticulously crafted, and the pairings were perfectly crafted to create an unforgettable experience. The location is breathtaking, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable.

01/08/2025: We have been going there every year for 15 years during our stays. It deserves a Michelin star. An inventive and truly excellent restaurant. You have to go to the website; the photos are faithful to what you find on the plate.

19/01/2025: Questo ristorante non ha uguali in provincia É superiore da ogni punto di vista Dalla assoluta originalità qualità gentilezza del personale Ho sentito con grande dispiacere che chiuderà

31/07/2025: I had never crossed the threshold of a Michelin-starred restaurant, nor did I think a meal could evoke such a profound sense of wonder. La Madia di Pino isn't just a place to dine: it's a suspended space, where time slows down and food once again has a voice. In an age where haste has numbed taste and the market has accustomed us to repetitive, industrial flavors, this experience felt like a revelation. For the first time in a long time, I truly ate: with my sight, my smell, my hearing, my heart. Each dish, conceived as a fragment of art, invited slowness and contemplation of taste. It's a journey that reminds us how far we've come from listening to food, and how much beauty there is still to be rediscovered or recovered. A precious experience, which teaches—or perhaps reminds—that nourishment can also be an act of beauty and truth. It was well-deserved! Thank you, Pino

29/07/2025: A masterpiece of a dinner, fully worthy of what one would expect from a two-Michelin-star experience. Of course, the bill is accordingly, but we left happy to have invested that money in such a gastronomic experience. Chef Cuttaia also comes to the table frequently to check on the progress of the dinner and to chat in a very pleasant manner.

29/07/2025: Truly excellent. The perfect setting for a quiet dinner, enjoying delicious, generously portioned dishes. The staff is courteous, helpful, and professional.

23/07/2025: Among the best restaurants in Lucca and the surrounding area! Prices are high, but the food, staff, and ambiance justify them.

29/08/2025: Everything perfect, delicious food!!!

29/08/2025: The accommodation is friendly and inviting, the service is good and professional, the selection of wines is good, but the level of the food is unfortunately not high, there is an attempt to produce something sophisticated but the result is disappointing.... Measurements of meat are incorrect, sauce is not suitable for the type of pasta, etc...... It's a shame because the place has good potential

02/08/2025: A fish restaurant with delicious dishes

24/07/2025: A lovely evening in this refined restaurant with a stunning window overlooking the Badoere square. Excellent seafood served with a modern twist. Prices are reasonable for the offerings. Discreet and highly competent service. Various gluten-free options, and I especially recommend the desserts! If you're passing by, stop by!

01/08/2025: Servizio gentile e veloce, cortesia e simpatia. Primi piatti eccellenti (fusilli fatti a mano e ravioli eccellenti), secondi piatti da urlo (cervo con polenta ma anche filettino lardelalto) I dolci sono fantastici, varrebbe la pena anche solo per quelli. Prezzi di conseguenza ma la qualità è da premiare!

24/07/2025: Il locale è caldo e accogliente, molto curato. Il servizio attento, rapido e gentile. Gli ingredienti sono di alta qualità e ogni piatto che abbiamo assaggiato ci ha soddisfatto pienamente, era tutto davvero buonissimo e ti fa venire voglia di tornare! Confermo che i prezzi sono alti…ne vale la pena questo si, ma calcolate di spendere un po’ più del solito…

02/08/2025: If you want to enjoy good food, atmosphere, and fine wines, this is the place. We were in Verona a few weeks ago and couldn't have had a better experience outside of Verona. We had lunch at the Grotto (recommended) and the pasta, meat, and appetizers were top-notch. Congratulations!

28/06/2025: Wonderful hotel in an incredible location. Truly a hidden gem. The pine forests and the beach are both so special. The boat day they arranged was also a highlight. We hope to return!

27/06/2025: Enchanting place, splendid location. Careful and refined furnishings in every detail. Exclusive, uncrowded beach ideal for relaxation, as is the splendid pine forest with a restaurant where you can enjoy excellent dishes for lunch. Attentive and very kind staff, prepared to satisfy every request. Highly recommended! Thanks, see you soon 🌸

08/07/2025: The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was informal. The bread was a bit chewy.

28/08/2025: Well-prepared gourmet dishes, the food is of high quality, some dishes need to be reviewed according to my tastes

27/08/2025: Excellent restaurant in Isola di Capo Rizzuto. Refined cuisine, a refined and elegant atmosphere, and quality service. The waiters were all very friendly, with a special mention for Kevin, who gave us excellent advice on which wine to pair with our dinner.

29/07/2025: A fairy tale. Magnificent location A culinary and wine format that satisfies the eyes and taste buds. I recommend the Vastese brodetto, with the option of complementing the dish with delicious spaghetti soaked in the sauce. Young and dynamic service. Highly recommended.
