I am welcomed by the Oste who very cordially puts me at ease, and this is a value I look for very often. The menu presented is composed of very refined dishes and I’m looking for raw materials. I decide to start with a cheese cutter and then go to Baccalà with curcuma potatoes, Piedmont hazelnuts and lemon and basil pesto. All accompanied by a great champagne. On this I affirm myself as the winery proposed by the Oste has an eye to the bubbles. The flagship is the Moka coffee that makes you feel at home. Great experience to return as soon as I'm in the area.

This isn't exactly it. Good dish for charity but at an exorbitant price for the quantity presented, we rose from table with hunger. Too bad because the local is a love and the kitchen is of excellent quality but at these prices really not.

We are glad we found this place because it turned out to be a highlight of our trip through Italy.The menu is small but the dishes are interesting and creative. Don't worry too much about what you order, everything was delicious and the owners kindly explained it all for us. We tried the scallops with choritzo and oolong tea, shrimp salad with buratta cheese, 63 deg eggs and the salumi board. The fig and buffalo milk panacotta was the best dessert I've had here (and we've had a lot of desserts). It's refreshing to see something different from the more traditional fare. Recommend stopping by if you're passing through Lucca
