Funtastic place to breake. Great aperol with Campari, each piece of pizza cost around 5 euro so for our family we spent circa 30 euro. Tables outside, tables inside in air conditioning room. Really greate concept.

Good restaurant. Have space downstairs and outside of the restaurant for dining. Good beer collection. Good staff. If you go with your vehicle it’s kind of difficult, because it’s in side of the walls. And kind of hard to find parking. But if you are in Lucca you must try this restaurant. Foods are delicious. I recommend.

Extremeley delicious focaccia to try in town: tasty, soft and the surface is a bit crunchy! You also have the option to taste some of them before for free in case the looks didn't convince you already. We had "La Lussuirosa" and "La Parmigiana" and we loved them.

Simple and delicious. You enter to the restaurant to a beautiful smell and a couple options in front of you. The you taste it, the crunch of the pizza was on point, I found the margherita excellent - when can this one go wrong? Service was really friendly and helpful. We had a delightful waiter, Federico. He and other staff members made sure we had everything we needed. They allocated us to the downstairs room, where a few tables are available, and brought everything quickly but without rushing us (even if we were the last to leave). Cheers! Prices seem to be quite standard for Lucca’s pizza al taglio. They have a few vegetarian options. Their peperoncino oil is perfect to add a light spicy kick to your meal.
