Ristorante Pizzeria Lucerna — Restaurant in Castiglione della Pescaia

I recently visited this restaurant and had a generally pleasant experience thanks to the kind and quick service, as well as the chill outdoor ambiance. The staff were welcoming, which made a good first impression and contributed to the overall atmosphere.

However, some areas need attention to meet the expectations of a dining experience at a restaurant of this kind.

Admittedly, the points below are only nitpicking, but I’d like to give some constructive feedback to possibly improve the experience for other guests.

Firstly, the menu presentation leaves much to be desired. Having received the menu from the staff, it seemed to be plain cardboard paper which gives an overall cheap appearance. Additionally, there weren’t enough for the whole table. More importantly, prices were listed only as plain numbers, without any currency symbols or units. This can be confusing for customers. Standard price notation (e.g., using currency signs like “€12.50”, like other restaurant in the area do) would greatly improve clarity and professionalism.

At the table, some basic items were missing. For example, there was no oil, salt, or pepper available for customers. Those are essentials that are usually standard at most dining establishments. When we requested spicy oil, it unfortunately lacked flavor and heat. It was asked to be taken away and given to the table next to us before all had finished their meals.

As for the food, the pizza was good overall and the size was adequate, but a slightly larger portion would have made the meal feel more generous.

Overall, the price was great with about 13 €/person which is excellent for a evening meal.

In summary, while the service and ambiance were definite highlights, the restaurant could benefit from improvements in its presentation and attention to detail.

I think some small changes would enhance the overall dining experience and improve the efforts that the friendly staff already bring...

Mi spiace dare giudizi negativi perché dietro ad un locale cosi c'è un lavoro immenso e bisogna rispettarlo. Sono stata negli anni varie volte alla Lucerna e mi sono sempre trovata discretamente ma ieri sera siamo rimasti davvero delusi. Un risotto di mare approssimativo ,acido,crudo ( e non dico al dente ) con crostacei sicuramente non freschissimi, cozze insapore, polipo alla griglia spaziale peccato però che fossero 3 bocconi 3. Per sfamarci abbiamo preso poi una pizza e quella è decorosa... 6 persone di cui 4 di una certa età . Il servizio è stato cortese ma un po pasticciato (vero è che anche noi abbiamo fatto un po di confusione ) il prezzo è nella media di questo luogo così rinomato peccato davvero che siamo usciti con l amaro in bocca...
