To start we had tuna was great, but the pig cheeks were tough and chewy, and did not appear to have been freshly cooked. The nocci was average. Most disappointing was and the fish stew. It and lacking in flavour and seasoning and the depth of taste one expects from a fish stew. We did try to give feedback to the owner but sadly there was a language difference and she did not seem interested enough to get someone to help us. I do not give poor reviews as a matter of principle but felt that my feedback was not really of interest. This was my wedding anniversary present to my husband and we left very unimpressed.

The piazza was a little loud with children playing football in the middle. The food and service are top notch and we had a wonderful dinner.

Very disappointing food for a Michelin restaurant- service and ambience were great. My main course was hardly edible. I ordered the fish stew. One of the two pieces of fish was extremely fishy tasting and the octopus was tough and chewy- really bad. The appetizer, wine and dessert were very good.

Very good food and very nice service. The decoration of the restaurant is also very nice with a peaceful atmosphere. This restaurant is very well located in one of the most beautiful place in Lucca. I highly recommend comparing to the other restaurants around.

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
