This restaurant was a great find for us - run by a couple Gabriel from Italy and Yulia from Russia - we thoroughly enjoyed the food and our lovely conversation with Yulia who was absolutely charming - what an interesting life they have lived together - this was reflected in the food we enjoyed - Asian Italian fusion - we would definitely return

Fabulous restaurant run by charming couple! Small and intimate, with a wonderful seafood Degustation menu - two courses €28, three courses €36 - which was excellent value for the high level of cooking and ingredients. Highlights were the crab cake starter (like no other!) and chocolate lava pudding. Highly recommend - best food we ate in Lucca.

We couldn’t wait to return to Per 21 again during our visit to Lucca! The food is delicious and creative. The service is fantastic. When we are lucky enough to be in Lucca, this is #1 on our list!

Excellent food cooked to perfection, and probably the best sea bass we’ve ever had. Good wine, relaxed ambience, very friendly service, and reasonably priced. What a find. Can’t wait to return.

What a wonderful restaurant. We have gone 2 days in a row, with different friends. They offer a nice break from Pasta and have a daily special menu. This week is a fish menu that was amazing. I had that the first night, last night I tried the short ribs, that had been braised for 48 hours in apple juice. The pear tart is amazing and had it 2 days in a row.

The owners care about food and the menu was fantastic with different dishes which complimented each other such as pasta with a thai green inspired sauce.The tuna and sea bass were amazing as well as the starters including an inspired scallops dish which was one of the best I have ever tasted.The wine list was not expensive but was excellent and well explained by Julia who with her husband make the ambience perfect for a great evening.We went twice and would love to return asap.

The restaurant presents an expanded flavor palette beyond regional dishes in a creative and successful way. Thai curry notes added to traditional pasta with seafood and a gazpacho-like base for tuna tartare were big hits. our dinner was one of the best we have enjoyed in Italy. The owner couple provide excellent service.

This small restaurant has everything: friendly, professional service, peaceful setting and delectable food. We had seafood and it was fresh, perfectly cooked and served with delicious sauces. Prices were good considering the quality and they offer a couple of set menu options. Well done!

A small intimate envioronment, comfortable surroundings, low key music, and very welcoming. Contemporary Italian w/influences from abroad made the menu selection very exciting. Capesante Crudo with mango literally blew me away w/its succulent texture freshness and flavor. One of Lucca's Outstanding dining establishments.
