We are always looking for new restaurants to try near our vacation home, so we looked forward to visiting this restaurant ( which we’d never heard of before) given its positive TA reviews ( most of which were written in a Italian, a good sign...indicating a restaurant perhaps mostly frequented by locals.) Located in the hills just south of Lucca, it is a pleasantly decorated spot, well away from any tourist area. Our meals were generally very good; the bread selection at the start, featuring a dark and a white focaccia, was probably the best we had on this current Italian adventure. Our starters included a delicious seafood carbonara, packed with seafood and deep fried prawns, pronounced very tasty by our accompanying friend. Mains were also good, including the deep fried fish ( calamari and shrimp), sea bass and beef with peppers. Our only misstep was two orders of baked mushrooms; we ordered them because they were in season, but after a few bites, the taste and texture turned us off. The house wine ( white) was excellent. We look forward to returning to try the pizza; they had a whole separate section for spicy pizzas, my favourite.More
