I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Lucca

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

27/09/2025: If I could give this restaurant 0 stars I would! We visited Trattoria Da Vasco on Monday 22 Sept 25, for dinner, based on a recommendation. Whilst my spaghetti carbonara was OK (not great), the spinach and ricotta ravioli my partner ordered was inedible. It arrived floating in a bowl of what appeared to be pasta water, with no sauce and tasted horrible. We sent it back and asked very nicely if we could please order something else as my partner had only had a mouthful. He tried the spaghetti Bolognese but again, it was terrible. The pasta had not been drained properly and again there was water at the bottom of the bowel. The sauce was barely discernible and the most prominent taste was dish washing liquid. Again, my partner could not eat this and had barely a mouthful. Now very hungry we decided to pay for what we could eat and drink. I went inside to explain this and pay. The manager /owner immediately started shouting at me aggressively in Italian, which unfortunately I do not speak. He was extremely intimidating and stood very close to me. He would not let the waitress translate for me, even though her English was good enough. He immediately threatened to call the police and would not stop shouting for one moment. I ended up in tears in the restaurant. At this point my partner who was sitting outside heard the noise and stepped in to protect me, just in time for the police to arrive. The police had to physically hold the manager back, still shouting at us both. I paid the bill (and entirely unwarranted €44!) just to get out of there. It was an awful meal and a worse experience. I suggest avoiding this 'restaurant' at all costs. The police were lovely and listened patiently to what happened. Of course they agreed with us as customers and had a stern talking to the manager/owner. I have travelled extensively, and been to Italy many times, and have never been treated so badly.

26/09/2025: A family-run trattoria, when you enter Vasco, you feel like part of the family. Typical Lucca dishes, truly well-made and generous portions. This is our second time here, and we'll continue to do so. I highly recommend this place.

19/10/2025: Bees everywhere... and they eat the food!!! One was eating mortadella from a sandwich on display and I was right there!!! Cold, low-quality food. Never again. If it were called a "Bee Bar," it would still disgust the bees.

30/09/2025: Very friendly, and the food was amazing again. We've eaten here a few times now, and it's always great for €16 per person for two courses.

12/07/2025: A triumph of kindness and goodness

30/10/2025: The welcome is warm and the place is pleasant. The five for food is well-deserved, especially for the tortelli lucchesi. The rating for the always-punctual service deserves credit to Francesco. Thanks to him, I discovered the limoncello spritz, which is masterfully executed. His coffee is also excellent.

30/09/2025: Really friendly team, went above and beyond for us, would definitely recommend you eat here.

16/08/2025: The historic establishment is now run by Chinese people. We drank the schekerato coffee there, not bad but nothing special. The counter was rather messy, with dirty glasses, etc. For two: €6.

15/11/2025: I ordered a Spritz and was asked if it had Aperol. I drank it... there was absolutely no Aperol. When paying, I asked if there was actually Aperol. They replied "yes," without further ado. Behind the bar, there wasn't even a bottle of Aperol, just "Aperitivo Margherita." I'm not saying it's not okay to use other products, but at least be honest with the customers who pay you!! If you don't have Aperol, don't offer it when ordering!

09/11/2025: Beautiful place. I especially appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the staff, even though the place was really busy. A very relaxing breakfast on a sunny day, and very good pastries. Recommended.

11/11/2025: A well-known and popular rotisserie offering quality local dishes and products. Home-style cooking.

16/06/2025: I stopped for a quick takeaway lunch break despite the time there wasn't much I took some kind of eggplant meatballs that as soon as I tasted them I threw them away crumbs and soaked in oil... maybe it was the wrong day

07/09/2025: Beautiful place in the middle of the mountains

21/08/2025: Too many flies coming on your plates, almost unlivable

15/09/2025: We had pizza 4 times at this pizzeria: twice the pizza was excellent, the other two, well... good pizza at times?

08/09/2025: This was a bad pizzeria. After waiting a long time to be served, the waiter startede to take our order - before she suddenly said that they were out of pizza - in a pizzeria!! Bad service, dont go there!

06/09/2025: We were very disappointed with this restaurant. We had made a reservation, clearly specifying that we would only have an hour to eat, as we had to return to work. Despite this, upon our arrival, we were made to wait a long time and were not served immediately, wasting our precious time. When it came time to pay, the owner even claimed that we had booked late (which wasn't true) and that it had been difficult to find a seat, as if he were doing us a favor, when in reality we were treated with little attention and truly poor service. Customer Respect: 0 A negative experience that we wouldn't recommend.

27/08/2025: I went to this restaurant in early August. It was a truly pleasant experience! The waiters were incredibly kind and helpful. I had a raw tuna appetizer with a truly excellent mango sauce, and a seafood risotto that I've rarely found so good in restaurants. I'll be back!

05/12/2025: The staff is exquisite, as is everything else they serve. The wine is top-notch.

01/12/2025: One of my perfect place in the world... grazie Gaio.. To make this spot as house

09/08/2025: Wonderful place, excellent service, and top-notch food. Congratulations!

28/07/2025: Avoid, a truly awful experience. The €35 appetizer consisted of low-quality cold cuts, supermarket Beretta salami, and clearly defrosted vegetables and olives. The side dishes were inedible, even those defrosted, and badly defrosted. The only redeeming feature was the meat, which was not to be commended but not to be slandered. The host was decidedly rude and unprepared; the red wine was served frozen and without the slightest courtesy. They don't accept card payments and don't issue any tax documents. Nice location, but overrated.

23/07/2025: Good beers, good selection of styles, didn't consume any food.
