Gli Orti di Via Elisa — Restaurant in Lucca

We went for dinner as a group of 7 people and had a great time at this traditional Tuscan restaurant 🌿. With a super reasonable price of around €20 per person 💶, we’re giving it a solid 8.5/10 ⭐️.

Highly Recommended:

Focaccia 🫓: Absolutely amazing! Crunchy, flavorful, and freshly baked. We loved it so much that we asked for more even after the waiter had already taken the full order… and he kindly brought it anyway!

Tortelli al Ragù 🍝: pasta with a rich, savory ragù — truly authentic, Tuscan-style comfort food.

Tiramisù 🍰: Creamy, well-balanced, with a generous touch of coffee and cocoa. The perfect sweet ending.

The waiter was super kind and patient 🧑‍🍳, even though we definitely made his job harder with our extra focaccia requests! The place has a warm and cozy rustic vibe — very much in line with the region’s charm 🏡.

A great choice if you're visiting Lucca: tasty traditional food, kind service, and honest pricing. A perfect spot to enjoy Tuscan dishes without breaking the bank. We’d absolutely...

The rabbit is so tender and the quality of the t bone was far the best tasted in Italy. This is at 9.30pm where chef are normally rushing etc but our experience was.exceptional. we have not order the dessert art the time that i write this review but If it is not as good as the standard than other courses, i would be surprised. Don't miss it..this was our.last supper for.the holidays and it was the best...

This was the best restaurant we went to in Italy. Brilliant for me (gluten free) and my partner. The house red wine was delicious and only cost €13. They provided free the best gluten free bread roll I’ve had in my life, I couldn’t tell the difference compared to normal bread. The gluten free Tortelli was amazing. We ended having two courses each and the veal was also great. The total price for two courses each, a bottle of wine, a bottle of water and the cover charge was €69, which was a similar price we had paid elsewhere for a single course each. My biggest regret of my trip to Italy was I couldn’t come to this...
