Best service we've had in all of Italy. Great customer service which is half the experience. The prices are fair. And the food, impeccable! Not a french laundry dinner but a honest loving home made dinner.

A really enjoyable place just inside the walls. Quiet at the start, but the place soon got quite busy. We had the Crudo, Stracchino and Pasta Fritta for starters. We stuffed the meat and cheese into the Fritta - not sure if that was the correct style, but we thought they were great. Had the Le Cibus pizzas for main, one porci & porcini and one salsiccia, burato and porcini. Very thin and crispy, but excellent toppings.

This was our absolute favourite restaurant in Lucca. Lovely staff, and the food! The traditional lasagne was the best I have ever had in my life! We had a party of 17 and every single person said it was the tastiest thing they’d eaten in Italy. The wine selection is delicious too. Highly recommend. If we are lucky enough to return to Lucca this will be our first stop

The pizzas are amazing! The crusts are thin and the toppings are delicious. We ate there twice and we were blown away both times. The service is really good too; they are very friendly.

It was delightful to find a welcoming cool restaurant on what was a very hot day in the beautiful Italian town of Lucca. The service was excellent, the pizza was tremendous. It was lunchtime when we arrived so most people were having their siestas. So the restaurant was quiet, which suited us completely. I would imagine that it is extremely busy of an evening. Definitely worth a visit.

What a lovely little place, we found this on our way back to our hotel last night, just had a few Lemonchello spritz, they were delicious and so we went back for lunch before we left Lucca, wonderful friendly staff, I had the freshest ravioli stuffed with creme and doused in olive oil, fresh herbs, prawns and scampi. It was ridiculously inexpensive 2 large Moretti, 2 x Fanta, 2 main courses and a bottle of water frizzante €51 xx
