A stunning location, superb food and incredible value. There's no menu, but rather everyone eats whatever the kitchen has made on the day. Always 5 courses plus wine and water for 25 euro per head. Thursday is fish night. Eat outside and enjoy the Tuscan sunset. Perfecto!

The best food in all of Tuscany! With the most breathtaking view! Wow! We felt so welcomed and left with FULL bellies! We didn’t have a reservation so they could not seat us that night, thankfully we were in town one more night so we booked a reservation for the following evening. So thankful we did!!

What a beautiful restaurant - the setting is beautiful with a view over Lucca and the surrounding hills, the staff were lovely - very forgiving of our lack of Italian and really sweet with our 1 year old. The Food - well it was delicious, local and the menu was adjusted for one who doesn't eat meat. The quality was incredible and the value equally so - £50 for 2, a free meal for the baby and endless amounts of locally sourced wine and water. It is not surprising the restaurant was pretty full both times we went and worth booking just in case. Clearly many locals come to dine there. I would 100% recommend

Delicious local food served in a 4 course menu. The venue is on a picturesque hilltop. Friendly staff make sure nothing is missing and that the party is full. Highly recommend this restaurant to experience true Tuscany.

Delightful family owned restaurant up on the hills overlooking Lucca. Fixed price meal served with appetiser, locally produced cold cuts and cheese, pasta dish, a main and dessert. Wine and coffee included. Our favourite place in Lucca!
