in the heart of Lucca, we found this lovely place recommended by a friend. Everything promised to be really good, as it was full of locals, and it felt just the right place to be. So, we were a bit disappointed when we got our green soup, the famous Garbugia, a Lucca speciality containing artichokes, peas, asparagus, and other spring... More

This osteria was a very pleasant surprise. We were a group of eight friends. The menu offered a good variety of freshly cooked food. Everybody expressed satisfaction with their choices. Very pleasant drinkable wine. Although nor very cheap it was considered good value.

We would definitely not go here again. My wife and I both had pasta which was truly tasteless, as opposed to other pasta and meat dinners we have had in Italy. House wine was truly the worst we had in two weeks. Skip this restaurant.

A local we met recommended Osteria San Giorgio for an authentic Lucchesan lunch. We sat inside and was greeted by our lovely server. I ordered an antipasta of asparagus with truffle butter; my husband had the farro and bean soup (il farro alla Lucchese). Both were superb. My husband has a generous serving of spaghetti alla arrabiata, which was spicy,... More

Found the restaurant off Trip Advisor whilst on a day trip to Lucca. In itself a beautiful city, great to walk around for a day. The restaurant staff were very welcoming and apologised when I found a shell in my tomato pasta. I had a lovely fillet steak and my wife, a beautifully cooked Florentine steak with roast potatoes and... More

Four of us had lunch here yesterday. This restaurant is tucked away on a side street. The food and atmosphere was very nice. We shared grilled vegetables, a little bland but cooked perfectly. The pasta dishes were great a beef filled ravioli with ragu and a tagliatelle with artichokes and a lamb ragu. Our friends had the soups which were... More

I was taken there by local friends for the third time over two years, and have always found it to be one of the best places in Lucca. Very nice atmosphere; the pasta dishes, especially the "spaghetti allo scoglio" i.e. pasta with seafood, were delicious. My friends had lamb, steak cooked to perfection. My fish was fresh and excellent, served... More

We came across this place by chance (although it was on my list of places that we could try). Sure gla we did. Antipasto dishes were wonderful and fish was fabulous. Nice wine choices and friendly service.
