This wasn't a dinner. It was an EXPERIENCE…read more In the most serendipitous way, we managed to snag a table at Osteria da Pasquale during one of their wine-pairing events, and it turned into one of the most memorable nights of our trip. When I called to make a reservation, I spoke directly with Pasquale, the owner, who kindly explained that they weren't taking regular reservations that evening because they were hosting a wine pairing with a fixed menu. It wasn't exactly what I had in mind or expected, but we decided to go for it... and holy moly, am I glad we did. We've done plenty of fixed-menu wine pairings before, and honestly, the success rate is about 50%, so we went in a bit skeptical. This, however, was truly one of a kind. Incredible food, even better wine, and, best of all, an unforgettable ambiance fueled by Pasquale himself and the incredible group of guests who happened to be there that night. Pasquale is wildly passionate about good food and great wine, and watching him in his element was a joy in itself. We tasted local wines ranging from wonderfully affordable bottles to others costing hundreds of euros, and every pour came with a story, a laugh, or a spark of excitement. And when I say wine pairing, I don't mean the kind where you get two polite drops and that's it The wine flowed freely, just as fast as the laughter from everyone lucky enough to attend. The energy was chaotic in the best possible way. As two tourists, it felt like we had stumbled into a friend's dinner party. At one point, it genuinely seemed like everyone already knew each other and somehow, by the end of the night, so did we. We loved every second of it. All of this to say: if you ever see an event or wine pairing at this restaurant in the beautiful city of Lucca, don't hesitate to book it. Thank you, Pasquale, for an unforgettable experience.

There's a nice bar inside or tables outside. A nice selection of local and other Italian wines. Friendly staff, prices fair. I looked for some Amarone. Buglioni, Tommasi, Allegrini, all favourites we know of. But I felt like trying a new one. The Amarone Speri was my choice in the end. A nice, old-school classic Amarone. Price a bit above 50 Euros a bottle. A fair deal, we really enjoyed the bottle with and after dinner. So, if you look for some good wine and don't wanna head out to some chain store, then this Enoteca is a good choice.

Frediano è stato aperto il bar-caffè-biscotteria "Santa Zita". Forte delle sue idee innovative, anche questa volta Tambellini sembra aver fatto centro portando avanti un nuovo concetto di bar, al servizio della più variopinta clientela che il personale (giovane ma qualificato) si troverà a servire. Ha unito la biscotteria a quello che può essere considerato il bar-pasticceria tradizionale, unitamente alle numerose proposte di thè e cioccolato, con i clienti che saranno accolti nella sala in stile vittoriano con mobili costruiti ad hoc da falegnami della zona. L'idea della biscotteria, decisamente innovativa (almeno per il centro storico di Lucca), serve a far convergere le varie eccellenze lucchesi in un luogo in cui vuole essere mantenuto alto l'interesse verso il te

Didn't really know what kind of food and what to expect. The menu was limited and very eclectic. The appetizer of hummus was not what we expected since we live in US. However, it was fresh (we thought could use a bit more garlic - our American palates can get washed out) but tasted ...... fresh. The tonkatsu (yes the fried breaded pork dish) was perhaps one of the best I have ever eaten - incredibly moist, breading gentle and seasoned very well and did not need any sauces. The fried rice (what you talking' bout Willis!!) was moist and flavorful and seasoned nicely with a tiny kick of spice. Dessert. Ahhh. What can I say. Dolce vita indeed!!! White chocolate semifreddo with pineapple coulis and pistachio brittle with coconut dried and shredded was a wonderful way to end. House wine - why can't California learn that wine doesn't have to be expensive to be good. The dessert wine was something I have never heard of - vino bianco italiano da uve appassite from Quinto - wonderful!! Not nearly as sweet and sticky like a Sauternes and not as sharp as bin santo. me like very much And service - attentive and responsive and incredibly friendly and never intrusive. Definitely not an American would consider true Italian - but what else would you call this food served in Lucca by Italians with Italian ingredients!! Mangia bene!!!!
