The dish that we all were surprised by and raved about was the Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino. It was perfection! Simple. Flavorful. A dish I have craved many times when thinking about this trip... 7 months later. In addition to the amazing food, I would be remiss to not include the amazing family behind Caffe Duomo. They are kind, welcoming, and truly enjoyed providing their amazing dishes with others. We even got one of them to enjoy a shot of Limoncello with us at the end! Ha! If you are ever in this area, PLEASE stop here and enjoy the experience, the food, and the people. Ciao!

I'm thinking this is the best meal I've had in Italy! Lost a star cause my dining partners ravioli was salty & al-dente & neither are the way she likes it. I'd do this over again for sure.

So you're definitely getting Michelin quality food and service here, for the same price as the tourist traps in the city center. *Food* Everything was amazing. Tagliatelle with rabbit ragu was exceptional. Seafood secondi courses were very well executed - monkfish, cuttlefish. Even the bread was amazing. Probably the best in our entire Italy trip. *Exceptional value* Have a look at the menu prices. They are comparable to other mid-range places in Lucca, yet this is a fine dining environment, service, and exceptional food quality. Their lunch menu (18 EUR for 1 course, 25 EUR for 2 courses) is a bargain value. Its not on their website - contact them to find out more. *Setting* The dining room is a beautiful place to sit in. Or if the weather is nice, sit outside, overlooking the square in front of the town theatre. Quiet and peaceful, no cars, and people watch.

The name translates to Sea Tavern and it delivers, feels like you are in a tall ship stateroom for your meal. Several tables with their own intimate areas.

A quick yelp search and we found Osteria del Mare. The restaurant is small and quaint. The service is friendly and relatively quick. Some English spoken. We managed between our weak Italian and their weak English and good Spanish. It looked like every table had the mixed seafood salad as an appetizer. Check. Giant bowl of mussels, clams, langostines, and oysters. Just get it. The Shrimp gnocchi were awesome. Homemade gnocchi that were creamy with beautiful garlicy cream sauce and super fresh shrimp. The seafood stew was the show stopper though. I was expecting a whimsy bowl of soup. Instead I got no less than 3-4 lbs of super fresh mixed seafood in a spicy tomato based broth. I looked at the waiter and asked if he left anything in the ocean. He didn't speak English but laughed and handed me a bib. Haha! There may be better food in Livorno, but this town was one and done for us. In the end it was one of the best meals of our vacation.
