Walk nearly outside the walls of Lucca and step in a beautiful dining room decorated with a lot of antiques, farming equipment and musical instruments all in glass cases surrounding you.

Great atmosphere/great wine/great pizzas/food is rustic, but delicious More

We enjoyed our meals here. First we came as pay of a group of 13. Second, we visited as a couple. On both occasions, we had good service and great food. Orti Di via Elisa is a deceptively large restaurant. As well as its outdoor seating area, it has three Internal dining areas. It's a bit like a Tardis inside....... More

Excellent Tuscan food,traditional but still a bit different.Service was good and only minus goes to the toilets.But overall recommended for a nice lunch on your daily trip to Lucca. More

We were recommended by our B&B to have luch here and we were not quite disappointed. Service was good although not as friendly as in other places. The quality of the food was outstanding although portions were somewhat small and prices were not particularly cheap. Overall, I would recommend people to have a try at Gli Orti di Via Elisa! More

Just around the corner from the Hotel Ilaria (& recommended by them). An interesting menu with local dishes and a 'Tocana' special menu which is 30 euros for 3 courses + coffee & water. More

I always suggest this special restaurant in the very heart of Lucca that has its own vegetable garden where the owner cultivates the veg that you will find in the menù. Its cosy, medium prices, very very friendly and they speak english! Elena More

I loved the classic decor,the black and white floors and starched linen and the way the tables were arranged intimately in a long room,against the side walls.The service was excellant.The reccommended wine was the best of our Italy trip.The food was tradditional Tuscan.The baby goat dish was sublime.The candied fruits with gelato for dessert was amazing.It was a wonderful experience.
