The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Lucca

Quite simply one of Italy's historic restoration sites, opened in 1782. For those who are looking for the best table in the city, there is no need to go any further. The products are unbeatable in terms of freshness, such as pasta, which is skilfully prepared every day in the kitchen. Local products are in the spotlight, and when ordering, it is difficult to make a choice. Dishes, such as spelt soup (zuppa di farro), have attracted famous characters: Giacomo Puccini, Ezra Pound, Mario Pannunzio, Princess Margaret of England...

Restaurant located in the sumptuous Villa Marta hotel, an 18th century residence. An intimate place where the quality of the cuisine blends perfectly with the romanticism of the place and its Renaissance garden. The dishes are typically Tuscan (tortello luchese with stew sauce and zuppa alla frantoiana...) with a new touch of cuisine that only improves the quality and presentation; all this accompanied by fresh products exclusively from the surrounding countryside. The menu gives pride of place to seasonal products. In summer, Thursday evenings are barbecue days!

Before entering Lucca from the north-west, here is a beautiful gastronomic step waiting for all lovers of Tuscan dishes. In its modern and rustic setting, La Corteccia offers very beautiful ways to develop its knowledge of regional dishes. The house should be able to reconcile those who don't like the soup, thanks to the many soups that are covered here. The zuppa di farro della Garfagnana is especially delicious. Mushrooms with mushrooms or rabbit sauce are also valid. The reception is very pleasant.

A stone's throw from San Michele Square is this excellent family-run restaurant whose name comes from the former convent dedicated to the San Michele archangel. In the past, he welcomed Italian and foreign merchants interested in buying silk which Lucca was a producer. Mr. Vito Cipolla welcomes his clients in the large armed lobby of divans and armchairs. On the right, under the ark, is the restaurant room: decoration and furnishings pure lucquois in the nineteenth. What a class! The room is decorated with green plants making the atmosphere even more pleasant. In front of the lobby, a welcoming terrace also invites you to savor local products with a traditional cuisine. Specialties: garmugia, lucquoise soup of the sixteenth century, and tordelli alla lucchese. Pastries and home bread.

A good restaurant that is worth a visit for its fine cuisine as well as its pleasant garden-terrace which offers a little freshness on the warm summer days. In the evening, it is the ideal setting for a romantic dinner.

One of our favorites in Lucca. First of all, because its staff is extremely charming. Then for its atmosphere. This osteria mixes tourists with locals. When it comes to serving yourself as an appetizer, under suspended sausages, it is very difficult to say who is local or not. Accompanied by a good glass of wine, it becomes easy to immerse yourself in the constantly changing menu of dishes. An address to remember also at the time of the aperitivo.
