A waiter brought out our water, which was in a bottle that could easily be filled each time with water out of the tap but they charge for it. We ordered bruschetta with tomato and basil.

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!! The one straight across the street with red and white tablecloth was much better last night and cost less.

Adorable little bar/cafe with an unbelievable server, she was delightful. There were probably ten tables outside and she ran all of them without a problem. She was very attentive with each table. We didn't know what to order so we started off with some Chardonnay, it was delicious and served cold. We ordered a charcuterie plate (standard for us) it was freshly sliced meats and delicious ham served with olives. We also ordered a sandwich that was delicious as well sorry I can't remember which kind of salami it was but it was amazing. Probably should have written this before the wine! Lucca is a beautiful small town near Pisa so if you go to see the leaning tower make a special trip to enjoy Shaker and the sweet adorable town of Lucca.

My elder daughter found this when we planned a day trip to the leaning tower of Pisa. There were a bunch of locals and some tourists at lunch time. The lady who took our order was very cheerful and took pains to explain the Italian-only menu. We ordered some prosecco and they proceeded to cool it in a bucket, while they served the appetizers: The shrimp was crispy and you can eat the skin, sauce was delicious. My grilled Seafood platter was an incredible value, I had salmon, squid, a large prawn, skate and some branzino, with some vegetables. The branzino filet (they call it sea bass) with olives was also quite tasty, as well as the gnocchi in pesto. The only one we didn't like so much was the sliced steak, which was just okay (still, not bad for . I guess here one should order seafood.

I've got a mixed experience with this place…read more Ordered two of their popular dishes - the traditional tordello (filled pasta with meat) and the truffle pasta. The tordello was nice. Full of flavour, quite unique, the skin texture was not too thin, not too thick. The truffle pasta was disappointing though. Nothing wrong with it, but at 25 euros, it was a pricey dish compared to what you can get elsewhere in Lucca. I get the feel that this place is popular due to its reputation. But its trying to charge high end prices (for example 3.50 euro cover charge, which is what most higher end places charge) but you're not really getting amazing dishes consistently. I'd suggest just walking by and looking through the window where you can see how the tordello is home-made. Then head elsewhere (eg Ristorante Giglio was amazing) for food.
