I'm thinking this is the best meal I've had in Italy! Lost a star cause my dining partners ravioli was salty & al-dente & neither are the way she likes it. I'd do this over again for sure.

We grabbed a table, but quickly learned you order at the counter. The daily specials were in Italian so we didn't understand fully, but the woman at the counter spoke English so she helped us out. What we ordered: I got the Romana pizza for one. The portion was huge! Definitely worth it for the money. I honestly thought this pizza was too salty, but to be fair it has anchovies, which I know are salty so that's my fault. The crust of the pizza was kind of underwhelming. We have no idea what it was, but the pasta my mom had was some of the best pasta I've ever eaten! It was a white sauce and had onions, walnuts, and red lettuce. It was amazing! I wish I knew the name. Final thoughts: skip the pizza, order the pasta.

Loved this place in Lucca…read more We had a group of 10- sat outside for lunch in the beautiful shaded courtyard. Started out with the house wines and trio of bruschetta type appetizers.

One friend had the carmelized onions as a side dish. See the photos, everything was great! Our service was excellent and they gave us some tasty lemon cookies as a dessert. Highly recommend, especially sitting outside.
