"At a time when most « eateries » can’t call them restautants) are serving the same menu everywhere charcuterie platters, pinse, tartare steak , tacos, and so forth, Booooring) this is a real restaurant. There are a couple of other good ones in Barga one serving traditional Tuscan dishes which are excellent, and another specializing in fish, while Scacciaguai has wisely chosen to have more sophisticated dishes, and it was refreshing. Kudos to the young owners. The ambiance is pleasant and intimate, the service is smiling and friendly. Riccardo is extremely competent with the wines. They have an extensive wine list, focusing on Tuscan wines and even more on the local ones from Lucca province. Prices range from 11 Euros to well over 100 for some of the Tuscan reds so there is something for everyone. We chose a nice Poggio dei Paoli from Tenuta Lenzi at 22 Euros and it was perfect. Food: Both Porcini and Truffles from the Garfagnana have arrived, and I love both. I started out with the best way to eat truffles: two fried eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked the white firm and the yolk pleasantly runny. The truffle shavings on top were just right. My friend opted for potato gnocchi filled with sheep ricotta with sauteed grape tomatoes. We followed that with guinea fowl breast cooked sous vide and roast friggitelli peppers. Finished off with a chocolate soufflee filled with melted chocolate. A digestif was offered on the house. A really lovely experience. well worth going back The price was right too of course it wasn’t cheap, but the food wasn’t either: Excellent quality ingredients, Excellent chef. Bravo!"

"tonight at 16 o'clock I took my man to eat this osteria. I was in juni with my sister and my friend there, we had a great experience. not so much tonight. food, tagliatelle con tartufi..ok, tagliatelle con ragù ... lasciamo perdere. (my man asked for spaghetti with Ragù. I know. he's from Texas, he was told it would take time to cook, so he's for the tagliatelle. I asked about crostini and they were brought after the tagliatelle. I, even though they were ate. but didn't say anything. they were not good. but those of a large group of local men I saw were tablets of delicious looking crostini toscani that I recognize with fegatini di pollo. mins were sweet, tomato and mushrooms, this was definitiw not funghi, since I am outdated porcini since I was with my family) they also load for cover, hexe is ok, but forget to bring the water and brot as it is custom. By the way, I watched other local customers with the right “cover” on their table. I just wanted to see how much the waitress/Kashier wanted to save a penny on us or prenderci per il culo. Now, that was confirmed when I mentioned the delicious ravioli with chestnuts, with that the year ago with my Italian family and I would have loved some in this year. their answer: ma questa non e’ la stagione di castagne. that's not a chestnut season. Therefore they have a Castagne Festival on Sunday in October and nourishing are everywhere, please don't pee on my side and say it's rainy. sono una garfagnana di san michele, piazza al serchio."
