The inside was very homey and nice. The owners, I believe are a husband and wife team who are helpful. Salmon carpaccio was an appetizer special - it was excellent Swordfish for the main was a mistake. Should have stuck with a pasta. 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. This and the service raised the rating from to 4.

Our waiter, Emanuel, was full of smiles and Tuscany kindness. This is the first time we ordered appetizers, salad, main course, a bottle of wine and dessert.

It's a beautiful place that would be wonderful to visit anytime but in the summer would be fantastic. The wait staff is friendly and speak some English and since we don't speak Italian that is good.

I was served a porterhouse steak (!) for $20 euro and my friend had the special which was roast pork so tender it melts in your mouth. The entire bill was $73 euro. The food is fantastic and I would definitely recommend going out of your way to visit.

Potentially a great place but my experience fell a bit short…read more Cutting to the chase: my main was served almost cold. And it's a pity that it was because it had all the elements to be very tasty and the starter and service were impecable. The amazing starter: combination of fried cheese with almonds, honey and paprika with great presentation. One for the recipe book. The friendly service: person I was with did not order a starter - they turned up with a lovely bruschetta on the house: "for while you wait". Nice touch. They also threw a discount on the bill to round it down. And were generally friendly and happy to have us dine there. The cold main: this had so much potential. Well cooked steak with five sauces and nice presentation. Ah well... The caffe: lovely, but it's Italy so I should probably get used to that!

I had Tuscan Beef Tartar as an appetizer while my son had Estate Onion filled with sheep's ricotta and saffron. Both were terrific. My prima piatte was Corn Tagliatelle with Tuscan sausage, celery and almond pesto and lemon zest. My son had the Chick peas Strozzapreti pasta with cinnamon scented goat ricotta cream and chard from the estate. Again, both dishes were great. My cousin had Frantoiana soup and she raved about it. The best part of the meal was the Bistecca di Manzo, a grilled t-bone with hazelnuts and truffle, cooked rare to medium rare to perfection. For dessert, we had White chocolate cake served warm with fresh mint and a berry jam (Tortino Caldo di cioccolato bianco con marmellata di frutti di bosco). We shared 3 bottles of the house red wine produced on property (Lavandaia, Madre 2014 made with Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino grapes). It was delicious and worked well with every dish. The service was efficient and servers were always present, friendly and accommodating. We were seated in the upstairs with a group of about 15 and two tables of 2 and we never strained to have a conversation or to hear what others were saying. It was a wonderful meal and overall experience. I highly recommend a visit. Make reservations.

I am only commenting on our lunch, which was fantastic. This is a beautiful agritourism place in Vorno, outside of Lucca. They are only open on the weekend and you must make a reservation. Go for lunch when the weather is nice; sit outside and enjoy the amazing views, under the huge, brightly colored umbrellas, above the vineyards and below the hills. The food was wonderful, and not really all that expensive considering what a wonderful place it is. We decided to splurge, so we ordered a fancy appetizer, two pasta plates and second course along with drinks. Our bill came to about 55 euros - we could have eaten for far less had we wanted to. . Normally the only way to get here is by car. It's not too far to ride a bike to, but the roads are narrow and the cars drive very fast, so a bike isn't appealing. We solved that by riding our bikes on the path beside the aquaduct (Acquedotto Nottoloni) all the way to the end, and then made our way to Vorno mostly on back roads. We walked our bikes a bit on the main road to avoid riding in traffic. It worked fine. So if you go in the daytime, don't let not having a car keep you from making it to this really beautiful place. (It's easy to figure out with Google Maps.)
