I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lucca

08/10/2025: Good service; prompt service, and the food was hot and prepared quickly. The flavor isn't as intense as traditional Italian food. In particular, the tortellini pasta wasn't fresh, but the taste was respectable. Good place for tourists looking for an introduction to Italian food. ————————— Good service and attention; food was prepared quickly, and everything was piping hot. The flavor was expected to be more intense than that of traditional Italian cuisine, but it wasn't as tasty. Particularly, tortellini pasta wasn't fresh. Nevertheless, the overall flavor is quite decent. Prices are great, compared to the rest of Italy. Good option for tourists who want a gentle introduction to Italian cuisine.

08/10/2025: I had lunch here at Oste di Lucca, served by Vincenzo. I enjoyed the tortelli with beef ragù, which were amazing, and they brought me some spectacular focaccia bread. I received a choreography on a plate, which is not easy to find even in Michelin-starred restaurants.

11/09/2025: Very good and authentic food, also well attended by Italians. The service was attentive, even if their English wasn't quite perfect—everything was perfect.

23/08/2025: Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly people, and the best desserts we've had in Italy! We even bought a bottle of local wine afterward.

04/10/2025: Extraordinary experience, excellent cuisine, top-notch service, congratulations

28/08/2025: Two Michelin stars, wonderful for us 🤩 Service was attentive and friendly, but not intrusive. The food was excellent, both in presentation and taste. Our menu was a beautiful journey ❤️ everything was beautiful

03/10/2025: Because it was already quite cold in early October, we sat inside. The interior was very nice and modern. Delicious food and wonderful service.

30/09/2025: A cool late summer evening. We dined outside under the olive trees. The setting was charming. Dishes were carefully prepared and cooked with extreme care. Quality ingredients, with some items always cooked over a wood fire. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The price was slightly above average, but considering everything, it was worth it.

06/10/2025: I've never eaten such a good risotto 😋! The dishes are very beautiful in appearance, congratulations! I'll definitely be back... it's a shame I live a bit far away 🫣

02/10/2025: Great food, I had one of the best risottos of my life, the waiter was really kind and polite.

22/10/2025: Found by chance but a very pleasant discovery, everything good, very good, excellent service and very fresh fish, highly recommended

21/10/2025: A warm atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. The mackerel bites appetizer was good, but I was a bit skeptical about the calamarata alla trabaccolara (pasta with fish scraps) from the first bite. In fact, half an hour after dinner, I started having stomach pains, and the next morning I had a bout of diarrhea, something I hadn't experienced in years. I'm sorry to leave a less-than-favorable review, because they truly seemed like decent people, but this may be more helpful to them than not reviewing at all.

29/09/2025: beautiful and super good birthday cake, highly recommended🫶🏼

29/09/2025: Very fresh Delicious and beautiful Super kind, helpful, and honest. Super satisfied

21/10/2025: Truly amazing! Everything was perfect. The first evening with the new menu, and it was perfect! All the dishes were so tasty and beautifully presented. The wine list was also excellent. The decor is cozy and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

21/10/2025: When in Lucca, eat here!!! Tasty dishes in a friendly and relaxed setting.

03/11/2025: Lovely place. Great staff delicious food. All you need!

23/10/2025: Superb experience. Wonderful service, hostess was engaging and deeply interested in answering our questions about the dishes and ingredients without hovering so atmosphere was relaxed and warm, like being welcomed to someone’s place! The Alla Romana Crostini was sublime and wine options outstanding!

12/10/2025: (Sorry for the comment in Portuguese, it's easier for me 😅). It was our first time at this restaurant, and we loved every detail! Wonderful vegan cuisine, top-notch service, and super fast service. We had tordelli and falafel, and for dessert, semifreddo and tiramisu, and everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back! The only downside is that it took us 30 minutes to find a parking spot, so if you have a reservation, it's best to have plenty of time in case this happens. But being in the historic center, it's understandable.

07/10/2025: If you're in Pietrasanta and want to try something different but good, I recommend this place. The cuisine is free of animal products. We had some delicious plant-based cheeses with their sauces and jams. We also had some plant-based tordelli, which are usually made with meat. I must say they were excellent. The cheese on the tordelli was plant-based but very good. The risotto, being a specialty, requires a different approach, but the risotto I had, called Mediterraneo, was very good. Finally, the dessert, a meringue with berries, was delicious. I highly recommend it and will return to try other dishes.

14/09/2025: Huge pizzas that you can combine half and half and share at a fair price. They were really delicious. But you could also order individual dishes as usual...

09/09/2025: Magnificent dinner based on fresh fish caught in the nearby sea (Viareggio, Livorno, Elba Island), very good wine well paired with the dishes, carefully prepared desserts. Ask for advice on the dishes to always eat the best and on the wine to drink well. The final price is completely proportional to the quality. I will return.

09/10/2025: We visited two years ago and returned this week. The food is even better and the service is very attentive and friendly. It is definitely a notch above most piazza cafes, both the menu and the quality of the cooking.

03/10/2025: The food was fantastic. The service was excellent, and everything was very clean.

07/10/2025: A restaurant in the heart of Viareggio, with a predominantly meat-based menu, although there's a small selection of fish. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a wide selection of wines displayed on the walls and an open kitchen. We dined in the cellar for a birthday party and it was a wonderful experience. We started with a selection of excellent appetizers, then continued with the highlight, a delicious Chianina steak and melt-in-the-mouth pork ribs cooked in beer. The wine list is excellent, with a focus on Tuscan wines, and we were able to choose from a variety of labels. Everything was perfect, and the price was perfectly in line with what we ate and drank. Highly recommended.

05/10/2025: We were lucky to get a table for dinner on our last night in town. The food was very well cooked, well presented, delicious and with the outstanding service and great atmosphere, we would highly recommend a visit. If steak is your thing, Amaro Braciera is your place.

11/10/2025: We were warmly welcomed and the dishes were described to us in a sincere and engaging way. Everything was delicious and authentic. We will definitely be back.

10/10/2025: Expertly prepared food and a welcoming atmosphere. Very friendly staff!

18/10/2025: I chose the restaurant both because it has a Satispay agreement (so I can use company meal vouchers) and because of the good reviews I'd read online. We ordered an appetizer and two main courses: a duck and a fillet of meagre with samphire and potatoes (€28 for the fillet with samphire alone). After a few minutes, what I believe to be the owner returns to the table to inform us that the duck is unavailable—a shortcoming that, given the restaurant's "standards," should have been disclosed when ordering. The wait for our dishes is quite long: at least 30 minutes. When they finally arrive, we discover that one of them is incomplete. We're told, "Our apologies, but the samphire is out"—so one of the dish's three main ingredients is simply removed, without any warning or alternative offer. To my surprised reaction, the owner responds with a rather unfortunate question: "Do you even know what samphire is?" —I still wonder what that sentence meant. Result: a €28 dish reduced to a fillet of sea bass with three slices of potatoes. The icing on the cake: when I got the bill, I tried to pay with Satispay, but the owner said, "Well, I don't know if it works, I never use it." Spoiler: Satispay didn't work—or rather, it did work, but the owner wouldn't click "accept," despite me pointing it out several times. In the end: 1. I paid out of pocket. 2. I spent €122.50 for an appetizer, two main courses, a dessert, two glasses of wine (plus two dessert wines), and a coffee. 3. I received rude and inattentive service. 4. No discount or gesture of courtesy, despite the obvious shortcomings. 5. I look at the receipt and realize we paid €6 for a coffee (not even in St. Mark's Square in Venice) and donated 50 cents to an organization unknown to us, without asking us in advance (usually the 50 cents donated are deducted from the profit, not added to the customer's account without a request). The only positive note: the quality of the ingredients and the kindness of the rest of the staff (especially the lady in the dining room, who was truly courteous!). Unfortunately, given this situation, a customer can only leave feeling dissatisfied.

17/10/2025: A wonderful dinner in Lucca's historic center. The best restaurant in the city center... excellent food and impeccable service. The owner was able to accommodate every request! If you haven't stopped by for lunch or dinner, you haven't been to Lucca!
