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.

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.

We came here and they have a good selection of pastries made in house that were really good! The coffee was good as well. What was really outstanding was the service! I accidentally ordered the wrong coffee for my grandfather and when I went to fix it they offered to do it for me! They really didn't have to because it was my mistake not theirs but they were really very kind about the entire situation! The prices if you order at the bar are essentially the same as at every other bar in Italy. If you order and bring your own items to the tables you don't pay a coperto. It's only if you have table service that you pay higher prices. I would absolutely come back here again! A gem near the duomo with good prices even in the middle of tourist season!
