I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lucca

02/05/2026: A decidedly disappointing experience. We went here for an aperitivo with six people, and unfortunately, everything went terribly wrong. We ordered a €50 cocktail, which on paper seemed like a good idea to share, but in reality it consisted almost entirely of ice, with incredibly long and awkward straws: practically impossible to drink and share as a group. The most absurd thing was the staff's total lack of helpfulness: we repeatedly asked (from different waiters) for a simple glass so we could pour drinks for those who couldn't drink from the main container, but they always refused without a valid explanation. Payment was also a negative experience: we wanted to pay with coins (which were still valid currency), but they refused, forcing us to use a card or other cash. This was incomprehensible and decidedly unprofessional. We also asked for an extra portion of fries, which never arrived, without any communication or apology from the staff. High prices, poor service, and little customer service. It's a shame, because the evening could have been enjoyable, but it was ruined by the organization and the truly unwelcoming attitude. I don't recommend it.

19/04/2026: A lovely venue with a well-kept wooden terrace outside, complete with music and aperitifs, even overlooking the sea, with sofas on the sand. Exotic cocktails with fresh fruit are delicious and flavorful. They serve appetizers and have an aperitif menu. The service is precise, attentive, engaging, and informally professional. And I think it's particularly suited to this type of service. Expectations are high due to the high potential for attendance.

13/09/2025: Wonderful little place! On our way back from a trip to the area, we decided to extend our stay and stop here for dinner. It was a delightful experience with very hospitable service. They had fresh porcini mushrooms picked that day and brought us a truly generous tagliatelle, which we devoured! It's a shame the tray wasn't edible, otherwise we would have eaten that too. Thank you, and see you soon!

19/08/2025: Terrible fried seafood, waited more than 3 hours for 2 dishes, they serve already used plates and high price

01/11/2025: I arrived at this restaurant with my small, well-behaved dog, properly leashed. We were informed that dogs were not accepted and asked to leave. The main problem wasn't the rules themselves, which may be legitimate, but rather the extremely hasty and impolite manner in which we were treated. Furthermore, we weren't even given the option of sitting at the outside tables, a solution that many other restaurants in the area readily offer. I believe that, even while respecting their own policies, a restaurant should maintain good manners, courtesy, and a welcoming attitude toward those who enter. A disappointing experience. We won't be returning. (Not accepting dogs in 2025 is excessive, but everyone has their own policies, and I respect them.)

27/09/2025: Rural trattoria, quality food. Ample private parking, pleasant outdoor setting. The daily menu is always excellent, featuring traditional dishes, and reasonable prices. Please note: this is a trattoria for easygoing diners who appreciate tradition without too many frills. Please note: dogs are not tolerated.

25/04/2026: My experience is very positive, the staff is kind and helpful, the food is good value for money and there is no competition.

28/02/2026: More than honorable. It can be done.

01/05/2026: The best restaurant to never go to again. The pizzas we had were really not good. The first pizza we had was somewhat okay, but it was very hard and dry and didn't have much flavor. The knife could barely cut through it. The second pizza was a kind of grilled cheese sandwich that was also very dry. With the third pizza, the ingredients were not distributed, there were pieces of luncheon meat on it, large chunks of onion, and the taste wasn't good either. We also had a calzone where 5 cm of the edge had nothing on it, just dry dough, and the rest was crammed into 10 cm in the middle. With this, I ate 80% ham and the rest a bit of dough and cheese, but that was it. The pizzas were also burnt around the edges. At the end, extra money was charged for something we don't even know what it was. A plus point is that the person who served us was nice and polite. I have never looked forward so much to the moment the food was finished and we could leave.

28/03/2026: I'm still at the table. Unfortunately, people these days take everything for granted. I ate with a colleague; we're coach drivers. The spaghetti or garlic and oil was good, the Milanese and fries were classic, but what really took me back was the lemon veal cutlet. Simply perfect, just like my grandmother and mother used to make. With a side of a masterpiece of mixed salad, a carefully balanced mix of vegetables, peppers, celery, and fennel... In short, everything was perfect. And then there was him. Odilio. Simple and friendly, just like a host should be. If you're in the area, come visit him. Thanks. Marco

27/10/2025: Honest prices and quality products, excellent for a quick lunch.

02/05/2026: Food with truffles and mushrooms, good portions and excellent quality, quiet and not crowded environment, if you want to satisfy your craving for truffles this is the right place

29/04/2026: As for the others, my first time there doesn't make me want to come back at all.

04/03/2026: Closed on the Saturday of Carnival's closing... I'll come back to try it, but I was disappointed by the lack of attendance on such a busy day.

23/02/2026: Excellent drinks, in my opinion, but quite expensive, which is a shame because while it's fine in the summer, on a cold winter evening when you want to spend a long evening you could easily stay at the table with just a drink. The products are excellent and the service is always friendly. It's a shame the hookah service is only available during the summer.

12/10/2025: A nice enough place, with welcoming staff. The food and alcohol could be reconsidered. All in all, for an aperitif with drunken colleagues, it's a good place.

04/10/2025: The ambiance was good. Great for friends and family hangouts

11/05/2026: The prices are outrageous and the food is nothing special, the atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is friendly.

29/04/2026: Really dirty and smelly, it's hard to eat with all that stink.

04/10/2025: Good ice cream at a reasonable price. Friendly staff.

21/08/2025: Excellent ice cream shop, the flavors are creamy and delicious.

18/04/2026: I order three takeout pizzas, and when I open the boxes, one is the wrong one. That's understandable. But the person eating it is a vegetarian, and there's speck in it. I go back, bring back the wrong pizza, still hot, and have it remade. What do they do? They take the pizza with speck and charge me for the one with zucchini too. I basically got one pizza for the price of two. I've never seen anything like it.

21/02/2026: Comfortable, quiet, and spacious atmosphere. Food made with excellent ingredients, prepared by staff with a clear passion for catering. Every dish has a special touch, a different flavor, something special. Highly recommended.

20/04/2026: Good neighborhood hang out and with the recent change a complete and tasty menu. We’ve often visited for coffee in the mornings (good pastries!) and drinks and apps in the afternoons. Today we tried their lunch offerings.. very good indeed.. it was difficult to choose our dish as everything looked so good! My wife had a gorgeous Cesar Salad and I had the ricotta and spinach ravioli in a butter and sage sauce.. excellent! There is no shortage of restaurants to pick from in Lucca but I’d put this spot on your list for a lovely lunch. Garibaldi is a beautiful street and very close to one of the primary ramps up to the famous walk.

31/03/2026: Ordered a beer and a Cola. Had to pay 10 euro, they rip you of if you’re not italian
