I migliori ristoranti di cucina cucina toscana in Lucca

30/10/2025: I went for a birthday. The price, at least for our "fixed" menu, was very reasonable, but the house wine left much to be desired (understandable, considering it was unlimited for everyone). Good gluten-free options, average service.

29/10/2025: Really easy place but 10 recommended

04/01/2026: Words fail me, it's delicious and unforgettable. It's not recommended, it's highly recommended. Thank you for your hospitality.

25/12/2025: Not much to say, an excellent restaurant. I was there at Christmas; restaurants shouldn't be judged during these events, but this place deserves all 5 stars, even at Christmas. Quality food, well-cooked. Impeccable, helpful, and fast service. The atmosphere is comfortable, pleasant, and, most importantly, a space for living. Highly recommended.

11/01/2026: At 6:00 PM, after walking all over Lucca, my boyfriend and I were drawn to this charming little place. Smiling and welcoming staff, delicious food!!! Tripe sandwich and onion soup (amazing!!!), washed down with a good glass of red wine. THE SNACK OF CHAMPIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

07/01/2026: Very nice and welcoming place. The staff and manager are kind and attentive. Excellent food, traditional flavors, and fast service. And very reasonable prices. No complaints. Highly recommended!

07/01/2026: We walked in without a reservation, and the blond, light-eyed, very smiling and helpful young man sat us down. We ordered and were quickly served: Lucchese-style lentil soup, EXCELLENT, a humble dish but with very well-balanced toppings, characteristically the best we've tasted in the Lucca area. Baked potatoes, EXCELLENT, a real DRUG... we literally drank them... among the best we've ever tasted. Truffle tagliolini, EXCELLENT, well-soaked with its creamy sauce and the quality of the truffle shavings excellent, the pasta cooked perfectly! Steamed spinach was good, but be careful with the salt, it was almost inedible. Cantucci and Vin Santo were EXCELLENT, finally some "probably pastry-made" cantucci that deserve to be called such! 2 bottles of water, a glass of red wine, and 2 excellent coffees = €60.00 A special tribute to the chef, "father of the very young head waiter." I repeat my compliments; we ate very well and were served admirably. Overall, great image (a quaint little restaurant just outside Lucca's city center) and great substance (the chef's passion and love for his craft are evident in the dishes). The only flaw (which can be fixed) is the front door; unfortunately, the constant draft from the fact that it keeps opening makes it uncomfortable, especially for those unfortunate enough to be sitting at the entrance. I would definitely return. I will recommend it.

03/01/2026: The place is small, but we ate well and the host was very welcoming and kind.

12/01/2026: We ate very well. The staff was friendly. The portions were super generous.

12/01/2026: Delicious food and very fair prices. We'll definitely be back!

10/01/2026: An architect from ATELIER OF ARCHITECTURE was in the area for a leisurely lunch. Unfortunately, we were unable to have lunch.

08/01/2026: We were at this restaurant the other day, around noon. My husband, our two-year-old daughter, and I went in to ask if there was a table. The place was almost completely empty and very, very cold. We were all chilled, especially the little girl. The lady at the entrance looked at me in a snobbish and irritable way, as if we weren't "up to the task," and disgustedly said no. No alternatives were offered, no willingness even to eat quickly, not even the slightest bit of kindness or an invitation to stay warm while we looked for another seat. Absolutely nothing. My husband, who doesn't speak Italian, hadn't noticed the sign in Italian to close the door, and had left it half-open. The lady noticed immediately and literally stepped over us to abruptly close it, without a word, without a shred of understanding. She was truly rude and completely indifferent to the fact that we were freezing, and showed no sign of empathy or welcome. A cold, rude, snobbish, and completely inhuman attitude. We obviously left, and we'll never return. This is the exact opposite of what a restaurant should represent: hospitality, refreshment, and respect for people. Let me just point out that money doesn't smell, but manners do, and they are noticed and remembered. A terrible experience.

10/01/2026: We were passing through and stopped at this restaurant for lunch. We were immediately greeted by very friendly staff. The restaurant is charming, quaint, rustic, yet well-maintained. We ate very well: homemade, traditional dishes, all very good at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend it; there are few places like this left these days!

21/11/2025: Very nice place, rustic, elegant, and welcoming. Our dishes weren't served at the same time, and there were a few minor oversights, but nothing serious. Good food.

04/11/2025: What can I say, we ate and drank very well...great price, thank you

13/09/2025: Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere surrounded by greenery, and upon entry, the inviting yet unobtrusive smell of grilled meat fills the air. The cellar is well-stocked, and during this time of year, mushrooms galore, beautifully pan-fried and grilled caps.

18/01/2026: Last night I booked a table with my partner at this osteria and I have to say it was very disappointing, we ordered a Norcina tagliatella and a gnocchi with Chianina ragù... well what can I say, leaving aside the mess between the room with so many waiters who didn't really know how to move and the kitchen where shouting and commotion could be heard, I received tagliatelle with frozen mushrooms (which was written anyway in case they didn't have fresh ones), and undercooked sausages almost raw and the tagliatelle that tasted of nothing, while the ragù for the gnocchi could be said to have walked on the plate by itself with practically raw meat, never happened in our life in Tuscany, where we have always eaten very well everywhere in the entire region, the only thing I could say was that a waitress apologized and a discount on the bill, but for the rest it needs to be reviewed.....

14/01/2026: We dined at Osteria del Bastian Contario twice during the first week of January and were absolutely delighted each time. The food is exceptionally delicious, especially the truffle dishes, which are simply outstanding. All four of us agreed that every dish was superbly prepared and perfectly balanced. The value for money is also excellent – ​​the quality of the food is very high, and the prices are more than fair. The service is friendly, attentive, and warm, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. We're certain of one thing: We will gladly return anytime and can wholeheartedly recommend this osteria.

08/09/2025: The location is enchanting, the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the platter of local products from the Cerù salumificio itself is excellent. Definitely worth repeating.

02/09/2025: An oasis of peace with a stunning view of the sea and the plains in front of it! We were having a wonderful hike and unexpectedly stumbled upon this bar. The owner is Dutch, and the staff also came from there, speaking fluent English and Italian. It's ideal for a drink or a coffee during the hike and relaxing. The cook wasn't there in the afternoon, so we only had a Tuscan appetizer platter to satisfy our hunger. But it was absolutely fantastic!

29/12/2025: Went for dinner with colleagues in December 2025. The atmosphere was beautiful and well-kept, the food good, and the service decent (theoretically, you get little or no choice; in the end, they bring you what they say, but overall, that's fine). The only downside is that you have to be very careful with your cars; the restaurant has a large private, but unattended, parking lot. When we left, we found three out of five cars unlocked, and in one, the contents of the trunk were stolen. The restaurant doesn't have security cameras or security service except on weekends, and not always. It's a shame that the restaurant is worth it, as is the food, but after this bad experience, I don't think we'll be back. Eating while worrying about someone opening your car isn't ideal.

19/12/2025: Beautiful, well-maintained place, the rustic atmosphere perfectly complements the food, which is locally sourced, with some dishes perhaps a little salty, but still delicious. There's not a great selection of wines in the regions outside of Tuscany. The only downside is that the unattended parking has led to both my car and others being stolen, which, after the rather steep bill, wasn't easy to stomach.
