We ate here today with our family of five and we liked it a lot. The food was wonderfull, the wine was lovely and the service was very professional. Very friendly, and patiently explaining to us tourists which combinations of food and wine would be a good choice. Thank you for a very nice memory.

Wonderful restaurant. We had a fresh assortment of breads. We ordered Caprese salad, tordelli, braised beef, beef carpaccio with basil ice cream, ravioli special. Food was delicious, service was great, prices for such a first class meal, reasonable. Would go back again and again, wish they were back home!

The menu was varied and extensive. Service was immediate. After we ordered, Alessandro, the owner, came to our table to introduce himself and invite us on a... More

We stumbled across this restaurant and I'm so glad we did. The menu has lots of traditional dishes to choose from with an excellent wine list. Special thanks to Alessandro, who not only provided us with a delicious lunch but even recommended several restaurants at our request once we learnt that they were closed tonight (our last night in Lucca)....

First night in Lucca and thanks to previous recommendations we enjoyed great food and service here. A nice mix of traditional and innovative dishes on the specials list with Menu sub titles in English. Great service and advice on wines to match the chosen dish. Drinks, main, desert and coffee for around 50 Euro. We are here for a week... More

This was one of four restaurants we ate at in Lucca during our short stay. (Only 237 to go.) It was probably the most interesting and enjoyable meal and that was down to the building itself, the staff and the menu and food. So a good all round package was presented and it succeeded where many others fail. The building... More
