My husband and I stumbled upon this adorable town outside of Tuscany called Lucca and had an…read moreamazing dinner experience. Everything was divine! We started with vino of course from a long selection of local Tuscany wines. We then split a vegetable salad that was topped with fresh balsamic and olive oil, bread, phenomenal Cacaio e Pepe and a pizza. They cook the pizza on a wood fire grill so we had to try it! One of the servers kept telling other tables about "cake" so of course we inquired and settled on chocolate. It was delicious! Service was great and accommodating to English which was helpful. Would recommend! Dining room also promotes conversation with close tables. We met a sweet pair of ladies on a girls trip and chatted it up with them over some dessert and vino. Lovely experience!

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!

It was a…read morepretty small and surprisingly not too crowded when we arrived, and were able to get seated immediately. Between the three of us we shared two pizzas - the margherita, and the proscuitto e funghi. Both were delicious, but I tend to like more toppings on my pizzas so I enjoyed the proscuitto e funghi one more. The crust was really light and chewy, but also thin enough to hold all the sauce and toppings. They were also quite giant! We also tried the limoncello spritz, but that wasn't our favorite. Overall, a great spot!

We ended up trying the two pizza listed as "popular/suggested". These are my thoughts. Rivistato - What a unique pizza. There is a lot going on and it's folded in half. I thought it was good but they put in this veggie that was bitter which was a tad offsetting for my taste. It's unique, I prob wouldn't get it again but it was different! (3.5/5) Margherita Al Contrario - Went for a simple classic and this was delicious. It's different than the pizza in America and overall enjoyed it. (4.5/5) Overall an enjoyable spot for pizza. Note... the pizza are pretty big and we got two pizza for two people. Tons of leftover for us. We ended up spending 35 euro for two pizza. They gave us a small discount for paying in cash!

Some of the best pasta in Lucca hands down they say. Award winning chefs and personable proprietor Carmine. There is a reason locals choose to book this place so you need to call in or email a res as I did. Opens at 19:00. Small inside seating with AC or outside. Highlights - Burrata su Tartare di S. 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. Tordelli Fatti da Noi al Ragù di Carne - Recommended by Emilie. This is stuffed pasta. Really good. Not Tortellini! And Maccheroni Freschi Fatti in Casa alle the homemade wide ribbon pasta with tomatoes and cheese Ask for the house wine on tap. 1/2 or 1L carafes! Bianco, Rosso or red
