I migliori ristoranti in Lucca

22/07/2025: During a short vacation in Pietrasanta, I stumbled upon this gelateria and tried their gluten-free gelato. It was truly amazing: creamy, intensely flavored, and perfectly balanced. The care and craftsmanship that goes into its preparation are evident. The only downside? The price is a little above average... but considering the quality and attention to dietary needs, it's understandable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a gluten-free option without sacrificing flavor!

11/07/2025: Good ice cream, friendly service, and the option of some outdoor tables facing the beautiful Rocchetta Arrighina.

19/08/2025: Excellent aperitif, with abundant, good-quality appetizers.

30/07/2025: A little expensive, otherwise ok

08/08/2025: Excellent delicatessen with a wide variety of cured meats, especially high quality ones. The staff was friendly and super efficient. 5 stars well deserved.

18/05/2025: Top quality products, excellent wines and courtesy in service

28/09/2025: A small restaurant with just a few tables, but very welcoming. Service was a bit slow, but otherwise nothing to complain about; all the dishes were very good. Paid parking is available on-site, just outside the historic center walls.

21/07/2025: Excellent food, delicious recipes with unusual creations. Very good value for money. I highly recommend it.

30/10/2025: As soon as you enter, you're transported back to another era. This former Anglican church has been transformed into a pizza restaurant. The staff are incredibly kind and friendly, and the pizzas are delicious!

30/10/2025: A very special little place, with a kind and helpful waiter. The food and pizza are both good. Prices are reasonable.

01/11/2025: Typical Tuscan cuisine. Rustic atmosphere, fast service. Highly recommended.

29/10/2025: Warm atmosphere, impeccable service Delicious meals, well-executed and made with carefully selected ingredients. Wide selection of game and wines. Excellent duck maltagliati.

03/10/2025: We celebrated a wedding. Everything was very beautiful. The menu was simple but good, but skimping on the wine isn't a good idea. At my table, we drank water, which was a real shame. For the rest, the atmosphere was nice.

02/10/2025: We celebrated our wedding in this splendid venue. Mrs. Roberta was always available and kind. She met our every need, especially with the decor of the room. The five-course menu was enjoyed by all our guests—authentic and flavorful at the same time. The service was perfect, flawless. A unique and pleasant experience. Highly recommended. Truly well done.

26/07/2025: Roberta is in the dining room, Laura in the kitchen! These two sisters make this place truly special! The impeccable service and amazing sandwiches make Beach Bar Express a must-see!

04/06/2025: Ragazzi, al Beach Bar si va sul sicuro! Vasto assortimento di cocktail e caffetteria, ottima cucina (aperta tutto il giorno) con piatti speciali particolari e veramente buoni e abbondanti! Personale e proprietario davvero simpatici, nel contesto di un locale arredato con "brillante fantasia"!!!

12/10/2025: A typical place in the Versilia hills above Pietrasanta, home-style cooking but very well done. Compliments, everything was very good.

24/08/2025: A family-friendly place with good food and wonderful people. A local initiative worth supporting.

29/10/2025: A cappuccino that's not only beautiful but also delicious...and the owner is exceptional. Excellent, I'd say.

16/10/2025: My boyfriend and I came to this place, which my friends recommended. We had two excellent limoncello spritzes. The very kind staff brought us complimentary tomato bruschetta and chips.

27/08/2025: The cream puffs are heartwarming, and the rice puddings are absolutely excellent. The coffee is good, and the staff is friendly (unusual in this area). The desserts are a little more expensive than usual, but they're generous in size!

27/08/2025: Had delicious sandwiches and cannoli, the coffee was also delicious.

07/09/2025: A very nice location, with well-arranged tables between the building and the beach, simply set with appropriate lighting. The clientele was polite and spoke moderately. The pizzas were a plus, very good... but the fried seafood needed a rethink, in my opinion "sad" due to its dull colors and bland flavor. The desserts, too, included a rather unappealing strawberry gelato (cream), and a tiramisu (perhaps assembled on the spot) that wasn't solid; unfortunately, the cream and biscuits had become a doughy mixture. Overall, a decent dinner, and friendly staff.

07/09/2025: The restaurant has a lovely location, with a lovely sea view, especially in the summer. The pizza and penne with scampi were good, but the spaghetti with clams wasn't exactly convincing. The real disappointment came with the fried fish: a meager portion and, above all, bland, soft, and flavorless. Even the desserts didn't improve the experience; on the contrary: the tiramisu, served almost warm and made on the spot, tasted like panna cotta; the gelato was average. The staff is friendly but often a bit absent; you sometimes have to call back several times for your order. The price would be fair if the quality matched expectations, but it's a shame.

07/06/2025: A place managed by very professional people who have been able to give a touch to this bar that offers a service from breakfast to aperitif, very good food too if you want to eat something especially at lunch and they are supported by a great team of very good girls, polite, professional and always smiling, I recommend this cafe to everyone.

25/10/2025: A busy restaurant in the center of Viareggio, with average food and service. A place that caters to large numbers of customers, where you can't really provide much attention.

15/10/2025: Very average cuisine, the quantity is there, perhaps even too much on some dishes, but the quality is not there...

09/10/2025: An enchanting place with breathtaking views

05/10/2025: Welcome to hell! It must be said that the resort looks nice at the entrance and that perhaps there are more comfortable rooms than the one I experienced, but that doesn't make my experience any less unpleasant. Foreword: the company that hosted me requested the rooms months and months ago, and specifically a "top" room for me (they always do it, everywhere, and I've always had top-notch experiences). Instead, they shoved me into a sort of attic closet, with a sort of fire vent instead of a window: a tiny room (room?) without even a table to write on or a chair. A 4-star hotel, a room without even a chair. And then the cold: after a whole night under the duvet, I managed to get the room to 19°C, starting from a not-so-reassuring 17.5°C. The bathroom was hideous, with toilet paper piled on the sink and a closet the size of a Smurf. In short: obscene. But the worst thing is the totally inadequate staff: from the check-in staff who, faced with my complaints and those who booked, didn't know what to say and just stared at the floor, to the so-called manager who dismissed us in a rather rude manner without an apology or a smile, to the two waiters who, in the elevator queue with bottles of wine in hand, walked past the guests (I even have witnesses), sneaking into the elevator and violating every rule of good manners at breakfast, which opens at 7:00 and which saw no dining room staff until 8:00, except for one lady who didn't even say "good morning" or "smile" (she must have had her reasons, since she was alone in the dining room, but that doesn't mean they treat guests this way). I'm attaching photos and videos of my closet, photos of the breakfast room at 7:30 (if you don't see any dining room staff, it's because there was no one there, I mean no one), and a funny video of the coffee maker. If you want to use it, you have to lie on the floor because there's only one socket. Oh, and finally, the wonderful splash of color from the dusty, cold-air-emitting grate right next to the bed. The worst hospitality experience of my long travel career. What a shame. P.S.: I know, it's disgusting, but I didn't even take a shower: the bathroom temperature was far from the 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit) in the closet, and if I want cold showers or ice baths, I go to the spa. I preferred to avoid pneumonia, I hope you understand.
