We were family of four, home feeling place, no fancy decor, beautiful as it is. This is typical papa & mama restaurant, offering what available fresh today and tasty gorgeous food. The service is excellent and the price is realistic, affordable. 4?starters, 5 main, bottle of wine and 3 soda, big family size desert home made a little bit of everything and there bottle of water for â¬70. I do recommend this place.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Lucca, and my go to place when I cannot face yet another plate of tordelli lucchese. They offer modern italian food with a twist. The menu changes monthly and is always filled with interesting things to try. As well they've got a great wine list filled with unexpected gems, and the staff are lovely. Chose to spend my birthday dinner here this year and couldn't have been happier.

Very nice restaurant in Marlia with excellent service. The menu included many unusual and inventive dishes (not typical of Tuscany), the wine was good and reasonably priced and the decor was great. However, the restaurant was freezing cold and we kept asking for the heating to be turned up but there just weren't enough heating units installed. This would be fine in the summer obviously!

This is located over along the canal above Piazza San Francesco. Initially I knew about this place because I saw it on Guy Fieri's show when he was dining in Tuscany. Well that was 3 years ago. That chef is gone and they have a new menu. I was tired and disappointed in the traditional food places in and around Lucca center. The ristorante is quiet and comfortable. It later filled up as the night wore on. I had a flan ricotta parmesan as a starter and then rolled pork tenderloin as my secondo. Both were delicious, like home cooking. A couple of glasses of local red wine and and a delicious glass of vino passata (late harvest wine) from the Island of Lipari, off the coast of Sicily. My female waiter was informed and knew what she was talking about i.e. food and wine. And that was my night there. Hope your experience will be as good as mine.

This is supposed to be a Michelin star restaurant and the food is of that quality. Unfortunately the service is woefully lacking. The Maitre Dâ is aloof and seems to be overwhelmed with his responsibility. 8 of us had a fine lunch and the food was very well prepared. However, several times during our meal we were required to get up and refill our wine glasses. The staff seemed not to notice empty wine glasses. This despite the fact we consumed 6 bottles of wine and ended up with a tab of $125.00 per person. You would think a table that generated over $1,000.00 in revenue would have commanded at least a modicum if attention, but alas they were too busy to notice us. I say spend your dollars elsewhere. Someplace where you will be noticed and appreciated. There are many good restaurants in Lucca. This one is not a good choice. At a lower price point it would have rated higher, but it is a very poor value

Pizzeria In Santa Maria was right near where we parked, just inside the Lucca wall, so we chose it for lunch because of its convenience. We were glad we did as the pizza was delicious! We ordered two and both were amazing--I can't even choose a favorite. The service was also great and it was fun to people watch as people came and went up to bike the walls. Perfect lunch spot!

I had lunch here on a rainy Friday in October 2018 en route from San Gimignano to Camaiore. It was somewhat tricky to find amongst the luxurious villas and mansions dotted around this rich, lush landscape on the outskirts of Lucca, but well worth the effort.I accepted the recommendation of Andrea, the patron, of a glass of La Goia di San Stefano which is produced just down the road and is a truly beautiful bianco on the palette, especially with seafood in which this extraordinary restaurant specialises. My starter was a crudità of several types of local fish and shellfish. Presented magnificently on a capacious platter, it was distressing to disturb it's perfection by consuming it, but consume it I did - with relish. My mains was a generous portion of Muggine, also a local fish, white and tender served with a herb and potato pastiche and delicious fresh baby leaves. There was a definite secret ingredient which I would guess involved caramelized lemon. It was truly brilliant. (Andrea, who had taken great pains to explain the menu to me in his easy going and engaging way, insisted on re-cooking the main course as I had left my table as it arrived for 2 minutes.)As a parting digestive and a gift I was given a local gin infused with a herb from a plant which grows only on the local beaches and is much prized for its honey.The bill came to â¬70 which in my view was well worth it.The bread, coffee and accompanying biscuits were all of exceptional quality. This is quite clearly an exceptional restaurant and will rank as the best ever of a month's holiday in AndalucÃa and Tuscany/Umbria. Don't miss it if you're ever in the area!

'Gatta' is the one restaurant I booked before we arrived in Lucca. Firstly, the service is delightful. The two ladies at front of house could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We were late arriving and they were very accommodating despite the place being quite busy. The decor is fun and the place is nice and bright. We chose a tasting menu based on fish and seafood. There are some unusual combinations and bright ideas. It started really well with fantastic home baked breads, all nicely seasoned and a lovely amuse bouche of apple and celeriac puree. The soup was a nice, traditional one of Tuscan beans with salt cod and it was tasty but, like the following courses, it was a bit under seasoned for our taste. Despite this, I really enjoyed the following dish of freshwater fish with courgette, pumpkin, balsamic and olive oil - it was beautifully fresh tasting. Neither if us much liked the next pasta dish although I did eat all of mine. The pasta was too 'al dente' for our taste and the sauce a little bland. Seared tuna was next and this time, the seasoning was not too bad but I often find tuna a little disappointing. I was hoping this would be different but I must just have a problem with tuna! Fortunately, desserts were truly delicious and (along with the bread) the highlight of the meal. I still give quite a high rating as I enjoyed the evening very much and the 'seasoning' issue is a personal one. My partner is a chef and I know that chefs vary quite considerably when it comes to this. Also, we could have asked for extra salt - it was a pity there was none on the table. We were asked about food allergies and preferences at the beginning which is always a good thing. I would still recommend 'Gatta'. Its a great experience and a different one in Lucca.
