I migliori ristoranti in Lucca

05/08/2025: Very busy place — reservation is a must. The staff was excellent and service fast. The food is simple but good; the crab gnocchi were especially tasty. We shared both a starter and a main, yet the bill was similar to other places where we each had a full dish. Also, although the restaurant was supposed to offer a discount through our accommodation, it wasn't applied. I had clearly mentioned it both when booking and upon arrival, but the manager insisted I hadn't. Not a big deal, but a bit more flexibility would’ve been appreciated.

23/07/2025: Location antica, curata e carina. Personale gentilissimo. Piatti di pesce buonissimi e di qualità, prezzi ottimi. Consiglio la prenotazione in quanto c’è sempre parecchia gente.

21/05/2026: Had a good meal and drinks for a reasonable price.

19/05/2026: Pizza was stil raw food didnt taste good tasted like it was reheated in a microwave

30/05/2026: After less than 5 minutes of sitting down and eating, we were told to vacate the table. The waiters were rude and the prices were high, and they weren't worth it. I'm giving one star only because it's the minimum; otherwise, I'd give it 0.

23/05/2026: Ideal place for breakfast in the morning!

19/10/2025: I'm sorry, but I absolutely don't recommend it. The staff is untrained and sometimes rude. The pizzas are frozen. The tablecloths weren't changed from the previous customer (stains and crumbs everywhere). The glasses are full of limescale.

31/01/2026: I've never ordered a dish and been unable to eat it after the second bite. It happens at Cobra. I recommend it for new experiences.

01/11/2025: Well-maintained venue! Friendly waiters! The event organizers are very poor. They could do better with the food! The portions are nothing but tastings! What I want to add is that even though you pay a lot for a cocktail (minimum €15, and a bottle minimum €300), we can't leave with a plastic cup outside! The event organizers should take a management course because it's completely abnormal to push my cousin so arrogantly, to the point that she fell and didn't even apologize! Because if they have to be professional, then they should check the entrances to see if anyone comes in with drugs, minors! I can't leave my cocktail inside when someone could put drugs in it! So be very careful!

15/03/2026: Very close to the hotel, it's fine so far, however I/we have noticed that it takes a very long time until someone comes to take the order.

15/03/2026: Four stars... The location is beautiful, but a few more smiles wouldn't hurt! But I'll be back to try it again!

17/02/2026: We went to the Watermelon Boutique on Sunday. We had tordelli and focaccia, both excellent. Kudos to the kitchen and the dining room, who served us quickly despite the crowds. The waiter in particular was very friendly and quick, and kudos to Marco, the kind and attentive waiter. We'll definitely be back!

18/01/2026: Slow, rude and uninterested staff, confusing place, I don't recommend it

30/12/2025: Good cocktails at a good price in the center of Lucca. Recommended.

03/06/2026: Book during holiday periods. Very crowded, excellent quality, not for everyone's budget.

29/05/2026: One of the better meals we’ve had. Standout for me was the Florentine steak and the sardines.

14/03/2026: Thank you Caterina for everything, especially for your extraordinary work

15/02/2026: Excellent lunch, ate fish. Excellent service.

29/04/2026: Just 10 minutes from Bussola and Principe, it's a great place to end the evening.

10/03/2026: The place was large and nice, but all the doors were open, it was cold.

28/12/2025: We booked a table for 2 by ordering a first course of packages for 35 euros each, there were 20 mezze maniche each, and as a second course we soon had a grand catalana for 2 consisting of 10 prawns, a lobster divided in two and about 10 scampi, 2 glasses of wine and two desserts, total 215……

22/12/2025: Simple but welcoming and clean atmosphere. Fresh, well-cooked fish. Reasonable prices, with a very advantageous The Fork promotion.

07/01/2026: Pizzeria on the promenade. The pizza used to be good, but I think pizzerias don't exist anymore.

22/09/2025: Service: The wine we wanted to drink, which the staff said was a great decision, wasn't available. The bottle that we then ordered was brought to us open, but we couldn't even test it first, so we had to pour the first glass ourselves. The waiter had problems speaking english and was not flexible at all with the dish selection, since many dishes weren't available. We had to pay inside at the register, so with all that in mind, why does one have to pay cover charge? Food: The mozarella in the caprese salad was very jewy and the olive oil and aceto balsamico came in plastic bags, again why cover charge? The fish was okay but bland. The gnocchi were mushy and the shrimp sauce tasted frozen with a weird rotten fish aftertaste. Also the shrimps were cut open and there were scissors of other sea animals in the dish. We had to return it because it was inedible.

24/12/2025: Exceptional gelato, especially the pistachio, fig, and walnut ones. The creaminess is also excellent.
