Antica Trattoria Stefani - LUCCA

The local is beautiful, rustic in a beautiful area we ordered typical dishes of the Tuscan tradition and were all very good both appetizers ( Rabbit , quail and beef tartara) all very good served also with great care of the dish the first equally good risotto with chestnut and the delicious rabbit plins the second was delicious "Pharaoh" in short all very good will return and last but not least

Good cuisine - wide choice. we sit comfortably and well served. It is rather a place for families or groups with lots of lounges and seats. We eat well. it is worth to taste the risotto straciatella which is a typical dish. The cod is also worth the trip. Good address.

I have been here a number of times now and last night we had a party of about 17. Service and food fantastic. Very friendly welcoming staff. We love the waiter we seem to get each time. We really indulged in the menu and no one expressed disappointment. Because this place is so special and great value for money we keep going back each year. I didn't pay the bill so can not accurately comment on value but the person was more than happy. We had a fabulous night

My last name is Stefani from California. On a resent visit to Lucca I ask a family member about and I was told that it was there favorite place. So we when and I was impress the place is unique and the food was excellent, cordia and good service, I highly recommend.

We found this restaurant by accident were really glad we did. It's just off the main road but once inside you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere. Went on a Monday night it was really busy predominantly Italian clientele but a couple of Americans there also with Italian diners. However it was not noisy staff were attentive The pasta was divine so was the fillet steak (15 euros). They didn't ask how we wanted it cooking but brought it medium rare perfect for us but if you like your steak better cooked you may need to advise them. House wine was very good only 3.5 euros for a half litre. Finished with vin santo home made cantucci biscuits. It was excellent value a place we'd return to on our next trip to Lucca. We had a car but it is not too far (about 6 kilometres) from walled city if you need a taxi. They also have accommodation but we were staying at a hotel (Grand Hotel Guinigi) so unable to comment on accommodation. It's well worth a visit for the restaurant!!!
