I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lucca

10/07/2025: Good welcome and very good food

02/07/2025: The best risotto I ever tried, fully recommend.

16/08/2025: Unique experience, best dinner of my life, everything spectacular and impeccable, starting from the location, followed by the service and finally the food, delicious, highly recommended!

07/08/2025: A wonderful discovery; the dishes are very good as long as you avoid meat. The shrimp risotto is highly recommended, and the appetizers are all interesting. The charm of the place adds to the overall experience and contributes to the joy of the meal. The service, for its part, was impeccable.

01/08/2025: The location off the main square promises 'non-touristy' services, and that's true, and a huge plus. The service creates a great atmosphere. The menu is short, but oh so refined. Delicious. Refined, quality, and fresh. The prices are also absolutely affordable. We highly recommend it, and best regards to the team. 🤗

27/07/2025: Dinner for four, three first courses and one appetizer, water, and a single beer, for a total of €76. Exorbitant. The first courses weren't even good. A €3 cover charge, which doesn't even include bread. The menu has very little choice. There are better.

01/09/2025: Truly delicious Server still learning the ropes Downside, the oven looks like a mermaid when it's finished, not pleasant during the meal

01/09/2025: I had the pleasure of trying something truly unique at Umberto Pizzeria Contemporanea in Lucca. Instead of the classic pizza, I opted for their "pane araba" (Arabic bread) and was amazed. This isn't just any bread, but a true creation: a special focaccia, which they call "Padellino" (Little Pad), made with three different starter cultures and three different flours. The texture is a masterpiece of contrasts: soft and light on the inside thanks to the pre-steaming and crispy on the outside thanks to the oven finish. The result is a perfect and surprising balance. To round things off, we shared a delicious cheesecake, deconstructed as seen in the photos. The experience was further enhanced by the splendid location in the piazza, a true landmark in Lucca and home to the famous Lucca Summer Festival. Sitting there, under the trees, enjoying these delights was a true pleasure. An unforgettable culinary experience, which encourages me to return as soon as possible to finally try their pizza. Highly recommended!

16/08/2025: Absolutely delicious, everything is highly recommended, especially the truffle roast beef and the attentive, smiling service. I recommend it 100 percent. It's best to arrive before 8 p.m. for dinner; the restaurant fills up very quickly.

15/08/2025: Believe the hype. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Specials were all around porcini mushrooms, my wife had a delicious sea bream with porcinis and potatoes and I had cacciucco for the first time, full of fresh seafood. Delicious, not expensive bottle of bulgheri.

07/09/2025: Wonderful and affordable food. It was our first meal in Italy, and it was perfect. Thank you for your kindness!

06/09/2025: Amazing pizza and impeccable service

08/04/2025: Abitiamo vicino ma non c'ero mai stata. Sorprendente scoperta. Tutto buonissimo...dai piatti di cacciagione alla pizza. Servizio al top e locale curato e molto pulito.. Ci tornerò spesso

10/03/2025: Sono stata recentemente in questo ristorante con un gruppo di amiche e siamo rimaste davvero soddisfatte. Il cibo è eccellente e di qualità. Il locale è accogliente, molto ben arredato, creando un’atmosfera rilassante. Lo staff è molto preparato, professionale e gentile. Un’esperienza che consiglio vivamente e che ripeterò sicuramente!

04/09/2025: A nice, very hospitable place. The service is good because you don't really miss anything, with kindness and helpfulness. But I'm giving the food 3 stars not so much because it wasn't good but because the value for money is a bit cheesy. It's okay if you charge me a certain amount per kilo for a certain type of meat, but you can't charge me the same amount for a steak of the same meat, including a fillet and a neck area full of fat that needs to be discarded. I repeat, the food is good, but when you come across someone who knows what's on their plate, you're remiss. Other than that, it was a very pleasant evening, so good value for money. Not fair. Once I pointed this out, the owner made amends, even offering a discount.

25/08/2025: Wonderful steak-focused restaurant with a good selection of wine. The proprietor served all the tables when we were there and was so lovely and personable, he made you feel welcome and at home. The tartare and primi were excellent, and we really enjoyed the prussian bistec. The filet portion was best—we would maybe order a filet each next time.

22/08/2025: What a beautiful place, large even with the outside, it looks new, a great concept for the place, super good staff, kind and fast, quick service and very good food, definitely not expensive prices, excellent choice of beers

21/08/2025: Friendly, attentive, and fast, accurate service. The atmosphere is clean and tidy. For my taste, the food is just a little too seasoned. The focaccia is very tasty.

21/07/2025: We were recommended this place and it did not dissappont us. We (family of five) did not have a reservation, but was welcomed anyway. The restaurant was full with a good vibe. We had meat, pasta and pizza and all the dishes tasted delicious and looked nice when served. We had a good time here.

19/07/2025: Excellent food in a shop in a small village! Everything we tried was of excellent quality and the shop has many alternative options with tasty and filling dishes. The staff is very kind and the prices are very good! Well done!

07/09/2025: Intimate...welcoming place Refined and attentive service. Well-cooked seafood dishes with unique pairings. Excellent wines. Reasonably priced. I recommend the stuffed anchovies as an appetizer.

06/09/2025: I highly recommend this seafood restaurant! The atmosphere is spacious and elegant, with two indoor dining rooms and outdoor seating. The seafood dishes are presented with attention to detail and flavor! The staff is incredibly friendly! Incredible value for money. Congratulations 🍀🥰

06/09/2025: 37 euros for a steak, a glass of wine, and sparkling water. Maybe a little too much.

24/08/2025: Good for the price, but the service was rude. It was empty, but we weren't allowed to sit outside.

24/08/2025: It's a place that from the outside you'd never think would surprise you with the quality and quantity of the food. The mixed fried fish is an institution...I order the paccheri alla trabaccolara...I love it. All the dishes there are good and plentiful. I always go there when I pass by. Best regards to Cinzia and all her staff.

21/08/2025: Good service, excellent and plentiful food!

25/08/2025: Excellent service, good products, friendly staff, competitive prices, recommended, new management, truly professional, highly recommended

24/08/2025: A great little place to enjoy a relaxing evening. The staff are helpful and very polite, always smiling. The appetizers (meat) are plentiful and well-prepared. The pizza is truly delicious, and there's a wide variety to choose from! The prices are reasonable, in fact, very affordable! An excellent little place from every perspective. 10+

21/06/2025: Very lovely owners and staff. The pizza is delicious, wine selection is great and the seafood is nice and fresh.

13/06/2025: The food is decent, the first courses and fried fish are good. The pizza is not the best in my opinion, but it is still good. Prices are slightly below average. A first course and two second courses + bottle of wine + sweet and amaro = 55 euros.
