Who would have known we would end up at Montecatini a 1-night stay while visiting Lucca?! Lucca was hosting the Comics Convention on the day we visited, so there wasn't any hotels in Lucca for us to stay at...
As a result, we went to Montecatini Terme for 1 evening. That same night, we also had dinner at Egisto! It's about a 10-15 min walk from the hotel and pretty fancy inside. This restaurant is where we had some good yummy pasta (probably ranked in the top 5 restaurants we ate at during our 2-week Italy trip).
We had:
(1) Spaghetti carbonara - oh, I really like carbonara and was craving it that night, so ordered a plate for myself. gobbled it up so fast, creamy, rich with flavor, and pieces of pork/bacon were just the right touch.
(2) Spaghetti frutti de mare - my husband had this dish and thought it was delicious! :) he enjoyed all the seafood that was in there and would give it a 4 star.
Good thing our guide took us here to experience some yummy Italian cuisine! :) read more
