We loved Cantine Bernardini…read more The day was very warm and CB was an oasis against the heat. The outdoor tables are located in the shade with a nice cross breeze. And Rebecca, our waitress, greeted us with a cool glass of Prosecco. And two small bowls of a wonderful puree of some vegetable or other soon followed. We split: -- rabbit terrine as an appetizer. -- Primo. Linguine scoglio. -- Segundo. Grilled sea bream. Plus of course wine and espresso. Rebecca was both helpful and very pleasant. She not only answered questions about the menu, but about the town as well. Lucca is beautiful and charming. But a day trip to Lucca with a great luncheon at Bernardini made for a memorable day.

We were in Lucca on a day trip from Florence and found CIACCO Bistrot while looking for a good…read morelunch. What a great find! We started with the prosciutto and melon, which was fresh and delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, and it was outstanding--tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also tried the pastrami sandwich, which was equally excellent, and the fig and Gorgonzola crostini was a fantastic combination of sweet and savory. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. On a very hot summer day, the air-conditioned dining room was a huge bonus and made lunch even more enjoyable. Great food, fair prices, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We wouldn't hesitate to come back the next time we're in Lucca and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality lunch near the historic center.

"No pasta. No pizza! This place is my favorite for panini…read more You order using the QR code on their business card. The pulled pork, or the pastrami is fabulous! The meat is served on a crunchy, orangeish bun which is due to the use of turmeric, an Indian spice, they will tell you. Also you can have a Hugo Spritz here which is so much better than the fancy looking Aperol. It gets crowded by 12:30 for lunch or by 8:30 for dinner because there are too many people in the know! You can sit outside under a large umbrella or inside if it is raining, but I want to look out over the pizza and the carousel which closes at 7:30 When you are ready to pay take your drink receipt inside to the register.

This place was a typical tourist tr, disguised as a nice restaurant. The service was terrible and they charged €3.50 for service per person, which is insane as we were rarely attended to and our requests consistently forgotten. For example, after ordering a glass of wine, our waiter poured us half of what a typical glass is supposed to be. It also seemed at times that the waiter forgot about what we requested (ex: a bottle of water and a glass of wine). The food was also terrible. The risotto with pigeon came with around 2 inches worth of a tiny pigeon and it looked like vomit. They also gave us a supposed 'palette cleanser' which was this creamy soup that tasted as if it were out of a can. I had the spaghetti with red mullet and even though it was the best dish we had ordered, it was still something that was so disgraceful it shouldn't have been served. The tuna appetizer was also definitely not fresh and it came served with onion rings. This was the worst and most expensive restaurant we went to in Italy, so unless you are looking for a terrible experience and terrible food, I would not recommend coming here. This restaurant was disgraceful.
