The restaurant has changed hands at the end of 2012. The new owner/chef has changed the menu substantially , but the food we ate was excellent. Delicious spaghetti with rabbit and a perfectly cooked steak - fine grilled vegetables and to finish, an excellent hazelnut semi freddo. Good house wines, a lovely cosy room and the best views in the... More

We were welcomed at the door by Giovanni he had laid out two tables for us so we could choose either indoors or out, we chose indoors as it was now dark. We had four courses with a bottle of house...

This mother-son run restaurant is worth the drive up into the Lucchese hills. The converted villa offers delicious food at an excellent price. On a warm evening guests are treated to a meal on their terrace as the lights of Lucca sparkle far below. One of my favorites.

We managed to find this restaurant with less difficulty than we were expecting after a drive up from the valley floor. Slightly challenging road, but not overly so for Tuscany :) MariaAngela effused charm and welcomed us with open arms to her beautiful establishment. The view from the terrace over Lucca is indeed stunning - worth the ride up even... More

Shared antipasti, wonderful pasta esp ravioli in ragu sauce, then pork for hubby and I had the amazing carpaccio. Squeezed in a terrific panacotta with fruits of the forest. Coffee, wine. Wonderful price. Delightful waiter/son who wants to develop place. If... More

Without a reservation for Pranzo (lunch), we were still welcomed into the restaurant by the owner,Marianna and her son,Giovanni. We sat on the terrace overlooking all of Lucca. The meal was delicious. We had pasta, pork and the house wine. I would... More

For the nice dinner on Friday night after long considerations, reading the reviews, etc we chose "A' Palazzo". Had no idea where it was! :) I liked the place already when we were going up... More
