We had an unforgettable date night at Osteria del Bastian Contrario during our vacation in Lucca! The atmosphere was warm and romantic, with that perfect mix of cozy charm and local character. Every dish was beautifully prepared — the wild boar pasta was rich and flavorful, and the tiramisu con savoiardi was the best we’ve ever tasted. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel like old friends. A true hidden gem within the Lucca walls — we’ll be dreaming about this meal for a long time! 🍷🍝✨

Wonderful! The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic! The staff was kind and patient (we had people with us who were on their first trip to Italy and took some time with the menu). We had soups, pasta, desserts…. All of it was very good. The ambiance was good as well. We will gladly return many times!

Food was only just warm when delivered. Indoor seating was in three small separate rooms plus larger outdoor area. Outdoor area prob got better service and had a better vibe. Plus or negative you decide - Negroni cocktail was so strong!

Nice courtyard dining experience, with very good service. Extensive menu of unpretentious local dishes, but our group had mixed feelings on the quantity of the food.

I assume they have to hire mire staff as the requests from the clients are many and the staff are outnumbered. I have to admit that even if they are few, all of the waiters are very polite and friendly. To be tipped surely as they deserve it. The first course was good really, but I was disappointed with the second course so I had to send it back and have another forst course! Lol.
