September 2011 - We stayed in the small hotel owned by the restaurant owners and dined at the restaurant for each of the four nights of our stay. We dined outside on two nights to enjoy the wonderful weather and inside two nights because of inclement weather. The setting in the outside garden was magical giving a wonderful atmosphere. The...

Set way out of Lucca, but worth the trip. Interesting menu with lots to try. Food was excellent and a great experience. Saw somebody try the ‘taster menu’ not sure how they could manage to walk out after the feast.

We were recommended to try this restaurant as it was supposed to be really good. And we were certainly not disappointed. We tried a 4 course fish and a meat menu which were both excellent. Very tasty, very well prepared and using very fresh ingredients. Especially tastefull was the polenta with Bacalau, the salad made from local greens and a... More

The food is fantastic, the atmosphere and staff is incredible. We have been here last year and made an effort to come back this year and we were not disappointed. Let the staff advise you on your choice of meal and enjoy the fine cooking.

Excelent on all aspects. Refreshing to see young, dynamic resturaunt owners that are passionate about their job.

We had a 6 course meal, and were a little surprised when we figured out that we had ordered two menus with fish (6 dishes) and two with meat... More

The tasting menu was out of this world - the... More

Very nice experience. As good as you could have expected based on the ratings. It is hard to find based with most GPS's POI's (secret is to continue driving onwards where it says to stop) and the staff is really nice (not all speak english but it nice to use gestures and smiles).

This is a wonderful restaurant with great character and innovative combinations of ingredients, without being too pretentious. We were two people and went for the "Chef's menu", one with fish and one with meat dishes. We got four different starters, a first course of pasta and a second course of steak and fish filet. All the dishes had a special... More
