Da Rosolo — Restaurant in Lucca

Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty food. We had a lovely time at Da Rosolo celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! After looking round Lucca we found many overpriced and with low ratings and we're concerned to find a good one. We started looking early (it is very busy with queues at most restaurants after 7pm) 6pm we arrived here and we're give. Such a warm welcome and the opportunity to eat inside with aircon or outside. Outside we chose for the atmosphere which was great... Our drinks order was taken immediately with our choice of Frizzante water (2 euros) arriving just before drinks. The draft beer was delicious and cold, the house red wine was tasty and reasonably priced. We decided to share the steak fillet and had sides of salad and potatoes. Our plates were full (see pics) and the steak cooked to perfection (rare to medium rare) it was all super tasty and the staff were super efficient despite having a full to overflowing restaurant with queues up the street... We also tried the home made tiramisù and finished off with a decaffeinated coffee. All in all we were very impressed and thankful we chose Da Rosolo. Huge thanks to the staff for such a lovely evening and such...

The food here is really really good. I got the lasagna and it's one of the best I've ever had. It is a dish I would very much so recommend it to anyone reading this review. You also get complimentary bread and olive oil which is nice!

The staff are absolutely lovely. I really really cannot thank them enough. After I finished my dinner, out of nowhere, I suddenly fell ill. I had been feeling under the weather before I came, and it all just hit me at once.

Anyways, they made sure that I got to a toilet ok so I could clean myself up and before I left, made sure that I felt a better before I headed back to my hotel. I cannot thank them enough for making what was a really embarrassing, scary time for me less scary and less embarrassing. They're genuinely good people with hearts of gold, who care about you as a customer and as a person, and want you to have the best dining experience at their restaurant, and most importantly - they're human.

As everything happened so quickly, I unfortunately was unable to tip. The very least I can do now is sing their praises, leave a glowing review and very strongly recommend you give these guys business! It'll be the best meal you have...

We came here before a concert without a reservation — and as you can imagine, the city was absolutely packed. Our chances of scoring a coveted terrace table seemed pretty low. While we waited in line, we watched in awe as beautifully prepared dishes were brought out to tables, each one delivered with genuine care by the waitstaff.

Within 10 minutes, it became clear that this was a true family-run restaurant — you could feel it in the seamless teamwork, the joyful energy, and the playful jokes exchanged between the staff. There was something special in the air.

Finally, we were seated — and every dish, every glass of wine recommended by the knowledgeable and warm-hearted waitress, was a masterpiece. We’ve been traveling around Italy for a few weeks, but this carbonara (and I consider myself a true fan!) absolutely blew me away. A true work of art!

It’s hard to fully express the joy and appreciation we feel for this cozy, family-run gem. Thank you for your hard work, your warmth, and the unforgettable experience you gave us.

With love from St. Petersburg...
