"Had dinner at this place a few years after the last time. Fantastic location, right in the historic center of Lucca, classic tavern decor. Quality remained unchanged if not increased: The dishes were good, plentiful (especially the second courses) and perfectly in line with the Lucca tradition. We tasted the tortelli with ragù and the malfatti with fifth quarter white ragù, both special. Then we continued with the roast rabbit with cannellini beans and stewed wild boar with polenta formenton, abundant and delicious, especially the wild boar. Total bill, with a bottle of wine (gobbo black, €20), two side dishes and a coffee, €97; in my honest opinion, we left full and satisfied. Note of merit to the menu, which includes traditional dishes cooked with local products (which are rightly underlined) and to the very extensive wine list (from Lucca wines to more distant ones). If you pass through Lucca and want to taste typical cuisine, it is absolutely worth the stop, keep going!"

Manuela
Very nice environment, excellent food but what is missing is a smile and sharing between customer and owner... not a single word about the food, about the wine. Lucca is a hospitable, chatty city, but the owner is obviously fine with this, speaking only with acquaintances....nevertheless I would recommend it and I will return in the hope of having just had a bad day. Price per person: €30–40
