But, we shall never forget the year we lived in Lucca and visited Ristorante Giglio as often as possible. Reading the current reviews returns us to this remarkable restaurant. My only question: Is Angelo still waiting there? He is the epitome of graciousness and ability. Buon giorno Angelo! More

The restaurant where you can feel the flavor of Lucca. My sister and I paid 60 euro for lunch, including Vino de la casa, sea food (sea bass and calamari) and disserts (pistachio ice cream). The food was fresh and tasty. The staff is amiable. Sitting on the terrace you can have additional benefit – enjoying good view at the... More

We didn't book so had to wait for about 30 minutes. But wait in style, seated on the terrace with a great bottle of Montalcino and a plate of hot white beans with olive oil. Then we moved indoor to a dining room making us feel like in a private home in the 19th century. Very good service, a menu... More

Over a period of three months I dined at Giglio's several times with different members of my family. The service was always very good and we were always made welcome, even with very small children. We all enjoyed the food ranging from a pizza on children's menu through to the steak fiorentina. The veal and the sea bass were exceptionally... More

My wife and I enjoyed Sunday lunch there. Excellent wine list and knowledgeable, English-speaking staff. Service was very good. We enjoyed "watching the world pass by" on the square. Good menu of local flavors. Pasta perfection for both dishes we ordered. But salads and first plates for two, plus wine (37.5 cl. of local wine) and water came to Euro... More

So perfect we returned the night following for a fresh artichoke salad, asparagus... More
