We enjoyed a delightful meal in a very relaxed setting. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Dishes that stood out In particular were the stuffed mussels, red gnocchi with pistachio pesto and the chocolate lava cake with fior di latte gelato

Disappointing meal, definitely not Michelin star level. The menu is creative but the execution disappointing: soggy pastry, not quite hot enough, bland flavours and seasoning. And despite what was advertised on the Fork, there was no sign of a daily menu at 25€ (although I was surprised by a Michelin restaurant offering that). Is their star still valid? The sign at the door said Michelin 2021

While the staff were all very kind, the food completely missed the mark. I am someone who often gets mocked for just how much salt I put on my food. It is *rare* I eat something that is too salty that it borders on inedible. However, the gnocchi I was served tasted like sea water. The dessert was slightly above average and bread serviceable.

I visited the restaurant because if the michelin recomendation they used to have back in 2017. I had filled mussels as antipasti, it was tasty but the flavor of bread dominated the flavor of the mussels. Unfortenatly the raviolo I had where undercooked and the dough was kind of hard to chew - I think that must not happen in such a restaurant. I think its positive that they gave us a five Euro discount but so far I would not recommend the restaurant.

We opted to sit inside and were brought to the lower level cave. We were just friends but could see how romantic a spot this could be. Service was exceptional, fancy but friendly. Beet colored gnocchi! Raw Tuna starter! Duck with lovely fresh veggies-everything very unique.

Last dinner in lucca deserved a special occasion and peperosa did not disappoint. We were seated at a beautiful table by the front windows and the service was impeccable from seating to leaving. Overall, the food was delicious. Amuse bouche was provided to settle us into the full experience. Ravioli was tasty and al dente, although not as hot as we expected. Filet mignon with foie gras, black truffle, and red peppercorns was heavenly. While we were too satiated to order dessert, a final complimentary spoonful of chocolate and bit sized cookies were the perfect ending to a truly enjoyable meal.

Without reading reviews, I would have been really suspicious. A restaurant on the main Piazza in Lucca, waiters with bow ties, relatively high prices. This smells like a tourist trap. Well, it wasn’t. We got the best food we had on our trip and an incredibly good value. The experience starts with a well poured glass of free Prosecco, actually a nice one, and a small amuse geule The dishes that followed represented upscale Italian cuisine, a welcome change from the home cooking style trattorias that dominate the dining landscape. Food that not only tasted great, but also looked great. After our meal, with our coffee we got a spoon of soft chocolate and some small cookies. The service was excellent. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering all the free goodies you receive. So all in all highly recommended! All in all The service was excellent.
