Because every now and then because of my well-known Lucchese acquaintances, friends and acquaintances ask me about local hotels and restaurants in Lucca and Versilia, as well as to suggest this site ( Toscanagrandtour ) for any indication of a general nature or suggestions, I thought to post a few reviews on some addresses that I would recommend.
The first is that the carry-over 'wine-tavern Wineries Bernardini, in the Suffrage 7, in the heart of Lucca.
The restaurant is located inside the ancient cellars of the palace Bernardini, one of the most prestigious palaces of Lucca and is therefore located in an underground room, with vaulted ceilings. As I said this is a wine tavern, so do not expect covered Habillé and silver cutlery. E 'furnished with elegant simplicity and on the tables, you will find in paper tablecloth and crystal glasses, so to speak.
The menu offers a choice enough range of dishes and the combinations particularly well managed.
To give an idea, we got as appetizers:
- flan with truffle cream and onion (delicious custard cream and even better: delicious combination)
- salmon trout on grilled polenta (again, delicious combination) As early
instead:
- maltagliati polenta with kale and sausage (really good but substantial)
- tagliatelle with porcini sauce with white meat (very mild)
How I opted for the second leg of a stuffed rabbit the chopped pistachios, but a look of disapproval has led me to give up. And so, we passed to desserts, in my opinion the least deserving of the meal, with:
- cottage cheese with lemon and toasted almonds to 'orange (good but not memorable)
- English custard tart up chestnuts (same as above )
Since we were at lunch, we were limited to two glasses of red Monte Carlo, indeed, alas, very bad.
We got up and relaxed satiated and we paid 50 eur (probably the bill was slightly higher, but the owner is our friend, so he rounded up in our favor).
said Massimo, the owner, and very kind of ' environment that puts at ease, it is worth tasting the delicacies offered by this restaurant. The food as I said, are made with skill and good ingredients and combinations designed with intelligence. Just good.
Desserts hano I went crazy and basically are a cut below the rest of the proposals.
mention apart from the wine. It 's true that we choose between the two proposals by the glass, and both economic zone in the area and that the product is good' oil, but a wine I was expecting a better wine by the glass, if only out of respect for the goodness of the dishes .
Surely, if it was dinner time and I chose a bottle of fine wine, I would not even this fact, but so be it.
Finally, the opening hours. Call for more information, because sometimes open for lunch, some dinner, and others all day, but I have not found a link that allows me to give you directions and therefore, best to book!
Finally, some details to be improved, but surely a location to be advised.
