This fish looked like it was frozen and it's was fair, nothing special. Tiramisu for dessert was so good. totally made up for the swordfish. It was made fresh that day and you could tell.

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.

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!

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.

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.
