I was in Lucca and stopped here for dinner. The reviews were good and the menu online showed more fish 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. read more

Both the gorgonzola gnocchi and the lasagna were some of the best dishes we have had in Lucca. Great service and a super helpful staff

Thoroughly enjoyed a patio lunch on a warm Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent, the pastas inventive, and the prices reasonable. It didn't feel touristy. I wish the portion on the tortelli ala luchese were a bit bigger, the portion on the spaghetti carbonara a little smaller, and small plates provided for sharing. Minor details that shouldn't hold you up. Go and enjoy! read more

OMG i love this place it is literal the best place i have been to in my life. It is amazing the first moment i got into the resturant i got blasted with flavor and good smells. The owner walked me through the choices i chose the paste with swordfish. It was delicious. The ambiente was nice and calm in the resturant. The appetizer came very soon.

I ate the delliciouse pudding holy cow it was the best desert i have ever tasted , no offence to my family i love this place and i hope you go there too Just saying you Will have an amazing experience. read more

Delicioso!! After 7 days touring Italy, this was THE place for the Italian food experience. Tucked away in a little alleyway off of a plaza, the host was welcoming to these lost foodie souls. The pastas were incredible. Gnocchi with fresh mint cream sauce, Pasta with Clams...I could go on for days. The smoked salmon alla Rosolo antipasti was absolutely gorgeous and melts in your mouth. The waiter and host were generous, kind, and patient with my broken attempts at Italian, and even helped me to perfect my pronunciation of "Delicioso" ("Day-LeeTS-ee-oh-so"). We had a delightful conversation with a traveler from Denmark, and a large party of locals showed up for a patio siesta! It was everything! When in Lucca (which I've decided is a requirement if you find yourself anywhere near the central/Florentine region of Italy) ...go here. Just visit Lucca. As my local friend states, it is an Italian paradise. Stunning. An oasis. One of the most well-preserved medieval cities to be explored in Italy. read more

What an incredible dinner for our last night in Lucca, great location right off the main piazza. We arrived around 7:30 and only waited 10min to be seated. Parties arriving later waited upwards of an hour so go early! The food is phenomenal. From the ridiculously fresh burrata salad to the perfectly cooked/flavored pasta to the tagliata. We enjoyed every piece of our meal. The man who served us was entertaining and really ran the show so efficiently. Recommend a dinner here one night! read more

One of the better restaurants in Lucca. I had the bruschetta appetizer which was pretty good but nothing special. For the main course I had pasta with sea bass which was recommended by my server. I had been in Tuscany for so long that I was tired of ragù, boar, and some of the other traditional Tuscan dishes so I wanted something different and it was excellent. I was told it's a little spicy but "little" is a good description. Spicy enough to make it interesting but not overpowering. I matched it with a nice local white wine. All in all, an excellent experience. read more

Amazing place to eat in an amazing little Italian town of Lucca. So we were told on our Big Red Bus Tour that the average Italian consumes 60 pounds of pasta a year, well I'm working on it. You must admit it is hard to resist when you are in this environment with fresh pasta daily. Our concierge told us if a great family owned and operated restaurant but on the way we found Osteria DaRosolo, I had to stop once I saw the food everyone was eating (I love patio seating for that reason). The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and funny, we were done we wanted everything. We started with the Beef Tartar and is was wonderful very delicious flavor with the pears on top. My husband ordered the salted cod, wow this was something neither us had ever had before, it was so good!!! I ordered my favorite pasta with clams, omg so many clams and the flavor was perfect not to much seasoning just right. If you are visiting Lucca please make this a must. We will be back, I saw many things on the menu I want to try read more

Overall, the food was pretty decent and the experience was fine. I saw this place had great ratings on Google Maps, so decided to stop by. I think I came here a bit too early, I was the first and only one in the restaurant when I walked in around 11:45am, one more couple came in later. It was a nice, dim environment with nice interior and a relaxing calm environment - this might've been the case because the restaurant was pretty empty too. Anyways, had the bolognese ravioli, I think it was a bit more expensive than I expected. I don't remember right now but something like 13 - 16 euros. I think there might've been too much meat for my liking because I think the ravioli also had meat inside and had bolognese on the outside but don't get me wrong it was still really tasty, cooked al dente with great texture and was definitely good! I feel like it could've been better though. Anyways, good food but not the most memorable from Italy. read more

Nice local recommended spot. Good wine. Fried zucchini blossom. Great salad. Roast pork was good too.

What a lovely place to dine near Piazza San Michele. They don't take reservations but the wait was worth it.

Had a great late lunch here. Very accommodating for a large party of 12 that walked up without a reservation. Made sure we could all sit together after a short wait. Food was excellent. Wolf boar with polenta was a standout. read more

Exactly what we were looking for on our arrival to Lucca. The Osteria Da Rosolo is open for early dinner. Not far from our hotel on Via Vittorio Veneto. There are about 10 tables at the outdoor patio. We would have enjoyed dining outside but the patio had many cigarette smokers . Our waitress invited us inside, where there are three small dining rooms. The menu offered pasta, ravioli, lamb, beef and wild boar in addition to seafood. Moretti beer was on tap as well as a full bar. Our server spoke good English and was attentive with suggestions for dinner. Our choices were for carpaccio salad, bresaola salad dressed with olive oil and a thick tasty balsamic vinegar. My husband enjoyed a large plate of Tagliatelle with tender wild boar. My dinner of sautéd sea bass. Two generous fillets and a side of sautéed spinach with onion and garlic. Fresh and Delicious! Very reasonably priced. 3 lg. Beers, Aperol Spritz, glass of wine and dinner 75€. read more

Ottima gente, ottimo cibo (great people, great food). A white knuckled taxi ride through the narrow streets of historic Lucca, delivered us at the Osteria Da Rosolo. As we entered the busy restaurant nestled in a quiet alley, on a warm July evening, we saw patrons lingering over food and relaxed conversation. The staff warmly greeted us and apologized for having only one menu for us to share as the other menus were still in use by other guests. We ordered the gnocchi with pesto, spelt pappardelle with boar sauce, spaghetti with clam sauce, and fresh Maltagliati pasta with sea bass in white sauce with fresh tomatoes. Each dish was magnificent. The restaurant staff made sure we understood the menu and spent time to get to know us during a busy dinner hour. Dessert included a heavenly tiramisu and a second dessert of biscuits to dip in amber Vin Santo dessert wine. Magnifico. Stephanie, the co-owner called a taxi for us after dinner. While we waited for the taxi, the line waiting for the restaurant was rapidly growing. Soon we heard an apologetic voice from Stephanie that she mistakenly called a taxi for a group of four instead of five (i.e. need larger vehicle). She was very caring to make sure we had the right taxi. We were concerned that she needed to attend to other guests. She and her staff displayed great care, and their kindness is reflected in their delicious food. read more

Reasonably priced, great location, good service, and tasty meal! Based on the positive reviews from Tripadvisor of restaurants in Lucca, we decided to try this place for lunch and it did not disappoint! When we got there the place was busy and we had to wait for our table but we were quickly seated. I made a happy mistake of ordering too much food, I ordered primi and secondi, which were probably too much for most female but they were so good that I finished them all!!! Aiuto!! If I come back again I would probably order just primi, it was large enough to fill me up and costs 10€, which is reasonable. I absolutely loved Maltagliati al sugo di branzino, this is a great example of how good fresh ingredients can make a simple dish taste brilliant when it's done right. This is so my kind of pasta, not too heavy and so flavorful! Highly recommended! read more

So authentic to the area of Lucca-fresh variety cuisine. Happy place to sit and enjoy a lovely meal in the Italian area of Lucca. Waitstaff is wonderful-layers of traditional flavors enhance each bite. Pastas, mains and dolce are plentiful and tasty. Take the steps to find this great place-we we're making yummy noises throughout the meal!!! read more

Absolutely fresh and delicious first meal in Italy this trip. It was open for an early dinner on a Sunday, most restaurants in the Lucca / Capannori area are not, and the food as well as the service were unmatched. They specially made spaghetti with bolognese sauce for my kiddos that was to die for. My husband had the Lucchese ravioli and I the artichoke and cheese ravioli to start and we shared (made for two people) the beef with olive oil and rosemary dish! It was all so good with a fresh bottle of chilled local white wine! We will definitely be going back this trip! Que brava! read more

We were wandering in Lucca and decided to find a restaurant for dinner. Osteria Da Rosolo has many reviews and is with high stars, also the pics show that food here is delicious. We ordered Sliced beef with cheese and rocket garden (we had similar dish in Rome which is great so we want to have it again) and Long pasta with clams in white sauce. We made medium for the beef which tasted tender. The price is €26 which is marked for 2 persons, it's a not small dish but we finish with nothing left due to it's really good. The pasta is also great! Delicious white spice and fresh clams. We had Tiramisu and espresso afterwards. The Tiramisu is not that sweet which is our preference. When we asked the waitress (maybe also owner) what's the name of the biscuit with nuts inside and can we buy only one piece for taste, she told us the name is 'Cantucci' (Cantuccini for smaller piece) and they usually had it with sweet wine, she gave us four pieces to taste for free. It has been a really wonderful time to have dinner at this place. read more

I've been in Italy for about a week, and this is by far my favorite restaurant! I came for the wild boar pappardelle, and it truly surpassed my expectations. We also got: Trio crostini - very flavorful with an overflow of toppings. If you don't like liver, the pate might be hard to eat. But I loved it! Wild boar pappardelle- perfectly cooked pasta noodles with tender and deliciously seasoned wild boar. You'd be so surprised! Grilled lamb chops- tender and grilled to perfection. You get to choose your side for this dish but we got a salad. Tiramisu - OH MY GOD! I am usually not the biggest fan, but this was SO AMAZING! The cream was light and the expresso flavor wasn't too strong. Just a perfect way to end the night. The best tiramisu I've ever had!! read more

Loved this place!!! They were warm and welcoming upon arrival, as they seated us outside. My kids each had the beef tortellini and ragu sauce. My husband had the fresh pasta with ragu. All meals were delicious. My rocket with burrata was amazing and so fresh, with the reddest tomatoes. I got the steak drenched in olive oil and infused with rosemary. It was very good, but was too much to finish, so brought it home and we ate as leftovers at our Airbnb. We kept commenting about how lonely the host at the cafe across from this one looked. That place was literally empty, while this place was hustling and bustling. read more

We really enjoyed our meal here. It's been one of the very best we've had in Tuscany thus far. The restaurant is situated in a quaint piazza off the noisy roads and if you're lucky you can hear the local musicians in the main square in the distance. The food was fresh and delicious - especially the burrata with perfectly sweet tomatoes and greens. I had pasta with clams which was delicious. The pasta with walnut sauce was also wonderful along with the grilled calamari and fresh fish. For parents, the place has a single high chair and very friendly staff who will keep your bambino entertained. read more

Wow. We went on the excellent Yelp reviews and they were on pointe. It was raining and we found an outdoor table for two. The manager came over and said "don't sit here, you'll get wet". Give me a few minutes. Five minutes later a couple got up and we had some great dry seats. Very courteous beginning. The menu and wine list was extensive. We had gnocchi and tagiltere. The bread was amazing. Staff was friendly and relaxing. View perfect. The food was top notch. Pasta cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Wine outstanding. Our neighbors at next table - lovely people from Hawaii said the beef ragu and the steak were amazing. We had a great experience and would highly recommend. read more
