We had a group of 8 for lunch and to say it was spectacular is an understatement. Every dish was…read moreplated meticulously and was delicious. 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.

We went here for lunch. I understand that there are a few other tourism activities associated with…read morethis place but I don't know anything about them. 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.)

I was in Lucca and stopped here for dinner. The reviews were good and the menu online showed more…read morefish being offered I thought they would have more seafood, but being in Tuscany, I realized that most places don't. That's OK. 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.

Has exceedingly friendly service and a welcoming interior. Came here partly because most…read morerestaurants had closed by about 14:30, and partly because of the favorable Find Me Gluten-Free reviews. 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.

The owner was an older man and also our waiter, he is the perfect man for the job. He made us feel like we were just eating among friends. They gave free bread as a starter which is always nice. For 2 pastas, 2 wines, and a water we didn't even hit 50€. So I think the prices are fair. It's a very cute shop, oh and the limoncello was delicious too!

Part of me feels like bravo you don't wanna be locked in. But part of me feels like that then you don't want to have to have standards. ‍‍ My husband got the ravioli with spinach and it was "OK". Keep in mind we are American Italian. And so European food is very different in general. You have to have an open mind that it is not going to be like what you're used to. I got the risotto With Chianti wine and it was truly delicious. Although the rice was a little bit al dente for me. The bread was amazing. The olive oil was absolutely top shelf. Made in Luca. They gave us these little pizza bites. That were also actually amazing. The sauce on the pizza bites were fantastic. I think the biggest thing was that I thought I had made a reservation for 8 o'clock. But apparently it was for the next night!! And they squeezed us in anyway! Then I forgot to take pictures as I always do because I'm too busy sticking my face in my food. So I only have pictures of the bread and the pizza bites lol. We got a very interesting dessert that was made in a meringue shell with tart cherries and chocolate and cream, and it was truly a delight. It was very small, but it was all you needed. So I do recommend that. Overall, I think the whole experience was lovely and I would come here again.

All'Olivo is an amazing Tuscan restaurant. Our first time in Lucca, and we typically try as many…read moreplaces as we can; this one we went back to. This is a beautiful place tucked back in a corner of the old town inside the walls. The outside area was cool and shaded for a lunch meal, and quiet and peaceful in the evening. The staff is helpful; we left wine choice to them and were not disappointed! The millefoglie melanzana raises eggplant to a whole new level. My adult daughter at home picks the mushrooms out of everything; here she devoured the tagliatelle con funghi with relish. It's rare for me to leave five star reviews, but All'Olivo earns it!

We tolerate her we requested it be brought out with the main disk. She refused to take it back and said the kitchen got mixed up with the bar. By the third we received our meal, the cold beer was hot. My wife had ravioli which was very good! I had a pizza with ham, which was mediocre at best. Could have used much more sauce, in fact the ravioli sauce would have made it 100% better. I definitely wouldn't choose this restaurant again!!
