This was fine dining at its best. A set menu using very fresh local ingredients. Absolutely delicious, surprising, theatrical. It&rsquo;s expensive, but worth it when you see the care and creativity of each dish.

L'Imbuto

Just had pizzas, and those were good. However... we&#39;d booked a table, but had to wait for 10 mins to be seated. It was cold - my wife had to put her coat back on. It wasn&#39;t warm outside, so you&#39;d have thought they&#39;d have turned on the heater over the (open) door, but they hadn&#39;t. There was quite a long wait before our orders were taken, then a another long wait before our food arrived. Our young waitress was apologetic - she was good, but the other 2 older more senior staff didn&#39;t seem that bothered. If I was the waitress I&#39;d be looking for a job elsewhere.We can&#39;t recommend it based on today&#39;s experience.

Very nice experience, food was great, service quick!  special thanks to the waiter who took time to speak in Italian to let us practice , I am from the catering business and I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff .

The restaurant is run by Costantino, Clara and Victor. Clara is a genius in the kitchen adding an exotic twist to all her dishes. Costantino is very knowledgeable as far as wines are concerned and advises you according to your choice of food. Victor presents the dishes brought to your table with passion and describes them beautifully. The menu changes every month which makes it interesting. This is our favourite restaurant in Lucca.

Picturesque restaurant in the heart of beautiful Lucca.  We were a group of six and they placed us in a room detached from the main body, so it felt quite calm and private. Yet we were not forgotten, the service was prompt,  efficient and friendly. They have a very extensive menu. We recommend.mend that you still k to the traditional local dishes. Overall,  a pleasant experience.

We loved the restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and the food was excellent.  we ordered an antipasti, homemade pasta and  the florentine steak. We can&rsquo;t say enough good things - The meal was superb.

Perfect lunch at a lovely Restaruant... unexpected.  Staff were lovely and the food was an excellent.

The food is good and very creative, the service was ok but could be better, they didn&#39;t take our coats until after a few courses, one of us got meat while I said in the beginning that we don&#39;t eat meat but this was probably a language problem.We&#39;ve ordered the 5 course menu (110 euro) but we got 7 savory dishes and 3 desserts, which was amazing so we could taste a lot of different things.Unfortunately we were the only ones there for lunch and the chef wasn&#39;t (and is basically never) there.The prices are for a Michelin star restaurant but this one isn&#39;t.

Food consistently impresses both in creativity as in quality. Ambience is fantastic and the service excellent.
