A lovely local restaurant. The food is real garfagnana fare. I enjoyed the wild boar over polenta as a main course. There is nothing fancy about this place. Always great food and a great value.

The wood fired oven is used to perfection. A basket of freshly baked thin, crispy foccaccia will keep you going till the antipasto appears. The fantasia di antipasto is a meal in itself, prosciutto, farro salad, fried polenta with ragu; then there are the roast meats from the wood oven. Tagliata di manzo with ruccola was cooked to perfection. The lamb cops a bit overcooked. Four of us dined for Euro 100 including wine. Excellent food and friendly service.

On the main Lucca to Castelnuovo road just past Calavorno (going N) Simple traditional tuscan food. Excellent bruschetta; tasty bistecca di maiale (pork chop)
Pleasant friendly service. Slightly bland interior and road noise outside, but a good simple osteria
