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 was the very first restaurant we visited when we went to Lucca in March 2019 (my reviews a bit…read moredelayed!). It is a very short walk from the train station and one of the first restaurants you'll see with both indoor and outdoor seating. The day was absolutely beautiful (March 15) and Pierro was our server, he was very attentive and did a great job recommending dishes and wine to go with our meal. The Good: - We had the calzone which was piping hot, and perfectly cooked. We also got a salad with lettuce, black olives, prosciutto, cucumber, yellow peppers and parmesan...it was beyond fresh, even the veggies smelled like they had just been picked from the garden! - We paired this with the house red, which was delicious, my fiancee is not a wine drinker and he really enjoyed the taste (not too tart, not too sweet). The Not so Good: - Because it is a stones throw from the train station prices may be a bit higher than others, but the view is absolutely beautiful of the city and I recommend sitting outside if you do go to take advantage. Extra extra special thank you Pierro for taking pictures for us....we ended up getting engaged at the very restaurant with Pierro as our personal photographer (he did an amazing job!) so needless to say you have two lifetime customers in myself and my fiancee! We hope to see you very soon!! With love from Toronto, Canada.

We stopped in here from biking the wall.

We selected a seat outside, facing the carousel and wall, and were promptly served. We picked a salad and a pizza and I got a glad of sparkling wine while hubby got a beer. It was so nice sitting outside watching the world go by in Lucca. Our pizza was fantastic! We picked Quattro stagione and added sausage and are soooo glad we did. The sausage was amazing! This pizza was really terrific and we ate every bite. Our salad was also good - I don't normally care for boiled eggs but the ones on this salad were tasty. It was a fresh salad and lived up to its name as a large salad - definitely one to split! It wasn't until I went inside that I realized this must be a place famous people patron due to the signed memorabilia lining the walls. I can see why - it's fantastic! Great service, fab prices, yummy food, delicious drinks, fantastic views - a perfect stop when in Lucca, whether biking or not!

Owner Luis, our server, is a colorful character and a friendly and gracious host. We're so glad we got to meet him. I highly recommend the gnocchi. A welcome break from the usual cheesy, pesto or tomato-ey sauces usually served in Italy. I kept imagining that the sauce was a cross between mushroom barley soup and split pea/carrot soup. I will miss this dish. And I will miss Luis. I also recommend the Erotic Salad. If you want to be entertained, ask Luis why he named the salad Erotic. This is a very fruity salad and very refreshing. Luis makes a very delicious dessert aperitif with vanilla and orange flavoring that resembles limoncello.

Our Airbnb was directly across from it, and we could see the lines at all hours with mostly locals, which was a good sign. I got the prosciutto and truffle sandwich, and it was dreamy truffle bliss. It is amazing that something as simple as bread, prosciutto, and truffle spread can taste so good. My husband got a salami and pecorino sandwich which was more his speed. He really enjoyed his sandwich and finished it in no time. Prices are cheap enough that we could've split another sandwich if we had had the room, but there was no need. The only downside to this place is the lack of seating. The seating in front of the sandwich shop actually belongs to the bar next door so we weren't able to sit there. We were able to find a public bench on the street to enjoy our sandwiches, but be prepared if you're carrying a lot of luggage around with you like we were.
