Osteria Dal Manzo - LUCCA

Il ristorante è carino, purtroppo vicino a noi c’era un tavolo molto rumoroso e con persone maleducate. Comunque l’antipasto era molto buono il primo la pasta troppo cotta ed insipida il dolce buono

Tasteless is the best word I could use to describe the Truffle and Egg appetizer my husband and I both ordered. It was a fried egg topped with a few flecks of truffles that had absolutely no smell and therefore no flavor. We spoke with the waitress and she said they are black truffles, not white truffles. That’s a ridiculous statement. Black truffles have a beautiful perfume too. We hardly saw her after that. The man whom I assume was the owner/manager also made himself scarce once we informed the waitress about the tasteless truffles. When it came time to check out we went to the cashier and said the appetizer was completely tasteless. She too tried to pass it off as black versus white truffle. We said we know what a truffle should taste like. She went to speak with the owner/manager, came back and admitted that 1) other customers complained of this too. 2) the truffles they got this week are “dead” and have no flavor. I replied that they shouldn’t be serving them to customers. Better no truffle than “dead” truffle. She begrudgingly removed one of the Truffle and Egg appetizers from the bill. So we ended up paying 13 euros for 2 plain fried eggs. Very disappointing. I’m embarrassed for them- knowingly serving bad food to customers, still charging them and never apologizing. They should have removed both appetizers and the manager should have apologized.

We had an excellent meal at this restaurant. The decor is really interesting with historic pictures and items from the region’s past. The service was very efficient and smooth. I had an amazing beef tagliata with roasted potatoes , simple but perfect, accompanied by a lovely glass of Sangiovese.i would definitely recommend this charming place for a meal on a trip to Lucca

Fantastic food, really nice people, great value. Couldn’t have asked more for the first experience of the trip to Tuscany.

Ristorante all'interno delle pareti di lussureggiante, si sente a casa perché il proprietario è un ospitale con una forte ironia. piatti ricercati nella loro semplicità, ottima cantina anche ottimi cocktail
