However, after choosing our selections we were very pleased with a thick, hearty, and filling farro soup - one of the best we tried in Lucca. However, even better was a delicious and seemingly unconventional pasta with cheese and mint (ever so slight mint taste) and mild yellow tomato sauce - a winning combination. If it is not a permanent menu item, it should be! The bruschetta gets a top grade as well. Brava! We can't forget to complement our serving staff who were so friendly as we tried to practice our Italian. Fortunately they also spoke English and made sure everything was going well at our table. Our compliments to the chef.

Turns out that this year, Lucca was hosting the Italy Comics Convention during that same wknd. Soo...the city was packed. We found this restaurant randomly and skimmed the menu before deciding to find a seat and eat. What drew us here was when my husband found out they served ribolitta! I am NOT a fan of ribolitta, but apparently - my husband is! Ribolitta is famous Tuscan soup, a hearty potage made with bread and vegetables. Not many restaurants serve it for some reason, prolly because it takes awhile to eat and not many tourists actually want to order it. Ribolitta, 7 e - i have no comments re: this dish, but my husband kept claiming "wow, this is actually really good, i'm so glad I ordered it!" Tortellini Lucchesi al Ragu, 8 e - meat sauce with your tortellini, can't go wrong with that right? Pizza all'arrabiata with mozzarella, 5 e - you can't go wrong w/ the basic tomato based pizza! My husband was thrilled. He got his ribolitta and we didn't even have to wait long to get our meal, especially w/ the herds of people arriving in Lucca for Comicon. Outdoor seating available!

Then they kept asking us to move out of their way. There were many other people in the shop and they all sat in peace. We were then asked again to move and made feel extremely uncomfortable after spending money and sitting quietly eating our food. Not sure if it's just that we are Americans or they were having a bad day but not worth the experience in an otherwise really sweet and charming town. Go to a different pizza shop!

Some of the best pasta in Lucca hands down they say. Award winning chefs and personable proprietor Carmine.

Marzano: Fresh burrata cheese over San Marzano tomato tartare with basil oil. Easily our fav- just wow. It looks like beef tartar. It's not.

Though there didn't seem to be almost any vegetarian pasta options, the kitchen made me a pasta dish with many veggies. I had worried over how multiple dietary restrictions would be received in a city not as touristy and large as Florence, but the owner (I assume) did not make me feel like I was asking for too much, not at all. He boasted that they offered the best gf pasta and that they would make me something that I could both feel safe with and enjoy. And I did, on both counts. There was definitely a happy atmosphere here, seemingly loved by locals and tourists alike.
