Andrea in the owner of the coffee shop down our street. He has lived in Lucca most of his life, and he knows very well the area, especially the restaurants and bars around Lucca.

Al Porto

"All ingredients are brought in fresh daily from the market so the menu changes constantly. I've had some really delicately cooked fish that was super fresh. The wine list is extensive and includes good regional wines that start at a reasonable price. The atmosphere feels warm and yet a little on the posh side. During summer there is a garden with an outdoor gazebo where you can dine. The prices range from medium to expensive. Allin all, this is a great place to dine because you get really well prepared food in a beautiful setting."
