We stayed in a villa between Bagni di Lucca and Benabbio, so this restaurant was just up the hill from us (10 - 15 minute walk). Our family group of 7 ate dinner here twice in the past week. Both meals were delicious. We don't...speak much Italian, and the chef/host doesn't speak much English, but he worked hard to help us understand and select dishes we would each enjoy (including for the two vegetarians in our group). The food was simply outstanding, the local wine was wonderful, and the desserts were fantastic.
If you're staying near Bagni di Lucca, check out this restaurant. Be prepared - it is a bit of a drive up a rather curvy mountainous road. But if you don't have a car or aren't feeling up to a mountain drive, get Roberto, the taxi owner in Bagni di Lucca to take you.More
