Excellent total dinner experience. Plenty of traditional Tuscan food including some Asian flavors with Italian pasta like coconut milk based red curry, spicy lobster with tagliatelle, perfectly prepared sous vide beef short ribs in apple juice reduction, soft but with excellent texture, chilled strawberry and red pepper scallops, ginger with crispy-skinned sea bass, etc. Wonderful, very professional, personal service...

What Janet B doesn't like about Alessandro Solo Per 21:
We had a large family party visiting this restaurant in July, including two children. When checking my receipt after our visit I was quite surprised by the cover charge of €3 for each child as well as the adults and the charge for filtered water. I subsequently decided to discuss this with the owner who took offence and told me I should have checked the menu prices before visiting the restaurant. He then proceeded to... View all feedback.
We had a fantastic meal. All 6 of us had the 3 course menu of starter and 2 mains (40€ wine. A couple of things were unavailable but we were offered alternatives which were beautiful. The food is fresh, tasty and different to other restaurants. It’s a special treat in the streets of Lucca.
Absolutely loved this little restaurant. Run by a couple with 20 years experience from Singapore. They serve Italian food with an Asian touch and it is really great. Situated right next to the Anfiteatro.
We were so looking forward to our first visit to this restaurant after all the positive reviews. However, be aware that with the 2 or 3 course set menu there is no choice or flexibility. The owner tells you the set menu for the evening. If you don’t like it you have to choose from the a La carte menu which works out expensive. Those in our party who had the set menu (tuna, squid pasta and sea bass) enjoyed it but others did not have such a good experience with the beef. Also, the owner was too quick to remove our plates; we had to tell him that my daughter had not finished her meal which he prematurely cleared away. Also, be aware the air con is not that powerful if you like a cool atmosphere on a very warm night. All in all would not return given all the other wonderful dining options in Lucca.
We visited in July ‘23 as a couple and had tasting menu paired with excellent local white wine. It included 3 very generous courses of Italian food with Asian influence. Superb and cooked to perfection. Octopus not to be missed! And grappa to finish was just cherry on top. Good value too and service was impecable! Don’t miss this gem!
We were expecting great food after reading all the reviews. Our starters were good but the mains were very disappointing. I had fish which was raw in places. My husband had the beef which lacked flavour and was quite tough. We didn’t bother with desert. Had much nicer food in other restaurants in Lucca
