10/10The staff were genuinely warm and one could already feel welcome! We chose a table and without any rush, water and some excellent wine( Picchio Rosso biologico) We ordered an antipasto, primo and mains - and whilst waiting we’re served with some excellent homemade bread! The food and presentation were superb and although fighting for space we also opted for some dessert ! Heavenly. Certainly one of the better restaurants we’ve been to this year!! Chapeau to all!!👏👏

8/10We dined here on our first night in Lucca. A lovely restaurant setting and the ambience was good with some nice music at a pleasant level. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming and explained the dishes well. The menu was nice and simple, with only a few dishes for each course- which is reassuring and says to me that they concentrate on doing a small selection very well. The menu is really different from the traditional Italian restaurant fare, and we really enjoyed our choices. I had a salt cod starter and Mr M had hummus with seasonal vegetables these were both very good. Their in house bread was excellent too. Mains were tuna tataki for me and a spicy Marrakesh chicken dish for Mr M, both again were delicious and well made. Dessert was a chestnut cream with hazelnuts for me and mascarpone with chocolate and chunks of toasted local fruit bread, both delicious! Overall this was a very good experience, the food was different from the norm but really well executed.

9.5/10Fantastic seafood carbonara! Knowledgable and waiter who provided good wine advice on local options. Tried a very different wine which was interesting ( in a good way). Definitely recommend this restaurant

In general nice restaurant. The starter/ prima and desserts were the best. Very well balanced, great taste! The main course fish was nice but not special. Wine also well suggested. Overall would definitely recommend it for a dinner night.

10/10The modern twist on Italian cooking was a delight and Constantino was a very knowledgeable guide to the food and especially the wines & the grappas from Tuscany & beyond. We share his love of jazz and hope to pop in late Friday to catch some of the live music.

5/10Very limited menu and what we had was ok but probably the worst dinner we had during our week in Lucca. Small restaurant and beginning at 9:00pm they have live music. We left soon after but in a small restaurant they do not need music

8.5/10Not typical italien cuisine. It’s more a type of „fusion kitchen“ between Italy, German, Asian…… very good quality, super nice People….. Portions are rather small, so better order a full menu…..

I would thoroughly recommend Il Grammofono. The menu is limited but each dish was exquisitely cooked with beautiful presentation and a reasonable sized portion. The proprietor was very friendly and recommended our first taste of “orange” wine which we really enjoyed.

10/10Lovely short menu - that’s constantly changing. We’ll be back later in the week when a new menu will be introduced. Great selection of rose wines, perfect for summer dining. Indoor dining only in a/c comfort, ideal with the oppressive heat outdoors. Wonderful husband and wife team.

+2We felt so welcome from we arrived until we left. Excellent and friendly service, and great recommendations from the restaurant short but excellent menu. The menu changes every month so no chance to get bored 😋 We had a delicious 3 course meal- accompanied by a lovely and elegant bottle of orange wine 🍷. When we were leaving the host reminded us about a discount we got by booking through The Fork! We had totally forgotten about it. That too, along with the super friendly service and absolutely great food, is a true sign of quality ⭐️⭐️ When the guide Michelin people finds this place it will be fully booked weeks in advance- so hurry up and book a table ⭐️⭐️

10/10Lovely restaurant within the walls of Lucca owned and managed by a young couple - he is front of house and she is the chef. We had a lovely evening with a warm welcome and excellent food and wine. The food quality is typical of the region but the style of cooking is fusion which is a really nice change. The restaurant itself has a very relaxed and elegant ambiance
