FAQ

The answers you are looking for

How do I book a table?

Fill in the request form on this site, telling us the day, time and number of guests. If you prefer, you can also call us on +39 0583 000 123. We are open Tuesday to Sunday, for lunch and dinner; Monday is our day off.

Do you have vegetarian dishes? And what about allergies?

Yes, the menu has vegetarian options, such as the ricotta and spinach ravioli or the chickpea and courgette meatballs. Allergens are listed for every dish. If you have an allergy or intolerance, mention it in your booking request so the kitchen can plan ahead.

Do you welcome groups and large family tables?

Gladly. The dining room seats 45 and in summer the courtyard adds 20 more. For a group, tell us in the form how many of you there are and for when: we will let you know right away how we can seat you.

Where can I park?

We are at Via del Fosso 21, in the historic centre of Lucca, a short walk from the Walls. When you request a table, just ask us how to get here: we will suggest the most convenient place to leave your car.

Can we eat outdoors?

Yes, in summer we open the inner courtyard with 20 seats. It is peaceful, even though you are right in the centre. If you would like an outside table, mention it in your request.
