Ristorante Catina Bernardini, tucked away in the historic heart of Lucca, Italy, offers a dining experience that not only caters to your culinary senses but also nourishes your soul. Its low-key underground dining area is a charmingly rustic nook capable of serving over 16 guests comfortably, making it the perfect venue for special gatherings or a memorable meal with dear friends and family. An evening at Catina Bernardini is an epicurean adventure steeped in authenticity and tradition. They truly live up to the phrase "slow food," encouraging you to savor the experience and take your time with your meal. For our party of 18, we leisurely enjoyed our feast over the span of about 3 hours, but every moment was delightful and never dull. The restaurant's wine selection is superb, boasting an array of top-notch Italian and international wines. Whether you're an oenophile or a casual wine enthusiast, their sommelier is there to guide you through the perfect pairings for your meal. As for the food, it's hard to find the right words to do it justice. Catering for dietary needs is handled seamlessly and respectfully, with an accommodating food allergy menu that didn't skimp on variety or flavor. The homemade gnocchi with tomato, basil, and buffalo mozzarella was a revelation. Each bite was like a warm embrace, the gnocchi's delicate texture paired exquisitely with the rich sauce. The tortellini au gratin, boasting a hearty Bolognese ragu and creamy besciamella sauce, was similarly impressive. Meanwhile, the roast beef of melino, served with a refreshing salad of potatoes and parsley, was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. Vegetarian options shine as well; the grilled eggplant millefeuille with carasau bread, feta cheese, and mint was an intriguing blend of textures and tastes that delighted the palate. Their desserts are another story altogether. The Panna "poco" cotta, adorned with fragole al balsamico, was creamy yet light, the balsamic strawberries providing a tangy counterpoint. The Sorbetti di frutta fresca di nostra produzione secondo mercato was the perfect palate cleanser, with its refreshing and vibrant fruit flavors. The meal culminated with an exquisite cappuccino. Perfectly balanced, the bitter notes of the coffee harmoniously blend with the sweetness of the frothed milk, serving as the ideal full stop to a gastronomic journey. In conclusion, dining at Ristorante Catina Bernardini is a delightful celebration of Italian cuisine. It's not just about the food but the overall experience. The atmosphere, the attentive service, the time taken to savor each course — it all contributes to a dining experience that you'll cherish. To those willing to take the time to enjoy a leisurely, well-crafted meal, I wholeheartedly recommend Catina Bernardini. Their commitment to quality is clear in every aspect, and it's a meal I look forward to reliving.

Had the crusted artichoke and rabbit pie to start. The Crusted Artichoke was a bit too mushy throughout, although the rabbit pie was pretty good. For mains, we had the fried sea food and the leek tart. The leek tart was good for the first 2 bites, but it was so sweet and overwhelming we simply couldn't continue eating it. The fried sea food was very similar - everything, including the veg, was covered in batter and there was no flavour variation. You were being hit with the same strong and overwhelming flavours on repeat. The problem with both dishes is they had nothing to balance them, no sides of any sort - we thought we may have ordered incorrectly (and missed ordering sides) but both dishes were recommended by the staff as-is. The restaurant itself created a very nice ambiance and the staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. It's a real shame the food was such a let down.

We're quite picky when it comes to a good cuisine. I'm soo glad that the Google reviews helped us pick a place to eat. I didn't mind staying inside as we didn't book a table on a fairly small terrace. Interior has a nice upper class artsy vibe to it. Service is always a big part of a culinary experience. Each and every person who served us tonight was a professional - friendly attitude and ability to advise. The quality of food served was on a high level. Typical Tuscan rabbit cake, pasta with ragu and also wine. Everything did just simply fit...Hence I'm taking the time to post a review. Thanks to the whole team, we enjoyed every bit of this evening!

Auf der Suche nach einem Lokal sind wir (leider) im "Ristorante Cantine Bernardini Lucca" gelandet. Wir wurden gefragt, ob wir Wasser wollten, was wir verneinten und bestellten einen Cappuccino und eine Latta Macchiato. Die Bedienung wies uns darauf hin, dass es sich um ein Ristorante und nicht um eine Bar handeln würde. Wir boten an, zu gehen, was aber mit einer ablehnenden Handbewegung als nicht notwendig angesehen wurde. Die insgesamt vier Kellner für die 7 Aussentische fingen untereinander an zu diskutieren, immer mit einem Seitenblick zu uns. Uns wurde trotz unserer Bestellung die Karte gebracht und erneut die Frage nach Wasser gestellt. Wir verneinten erneut. Es wurde dann die Bestellung gebracht. Essen wollten wir trotz der Karte nicht. Während wir unseren Kaffee tranken wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass man uns zu Beginn mitgeteilt habe, dass es sich um ein Restaurant handeln würde und man den Tisch benötigen würde, wenngleich vier Tische frei waren und das Lokal keineswegs überlaufen. Zwischendurch erschien noch zweimal ein älterer Mann, ich vermute der Besitzer, mit Blick zwar in die Runde, aber immer offensichtlich auf unseren Tisch. Die Gespräche mit unserem Keller und dem restlichen Personal mit Blick zu uns fanden weiter statt. Man hatte den Eindruck, unser Kellner hätte einen Fehler gemacht, indem er uns nicht unverzüglich des Lokals verwies, sondern die Bestellung annahm und ausführte. Ich hoffe, er hat dafür, dass er sich nicht unverzüglich unhöflich benahm nicht allzu viel Ärger bekommen. Die Latte Macchiato war im übrigen gut aber auch in geringer Menge und ohne Zusätze wie Wasser oder ein Keks etc wie es sonst üblich ist. Wir baten um die Rechnung und wollten gehen. Darauf hin erhielten wir diese über 15,00 €. Neben den 10,00 @ für die beiden Kaffees waren 5,00 € Bedienung oder besser Strafgebühr enthalten. Es mag ja sein, dass es der Ortsüblichkeit entspricht in dem Restaurant Essen zu bestellen zu müssen. Gleichwohl war die "Störung" mE angesichts der leeren Tische ehr gering und für die kurze Dauer zu ertragen gewesen oder man hätte gleich vorweg die Bestellung eindeutig ablehnen müssen als wir dies anboten. So aber fühlte man sich die ganze Zeit im Fokus der gesamten Belegschaft als Störung. Die Strafzahlung von 50% ist eine Unverschämtheit .

Eine Empfehlung ist dies alles nicht. Wir haben ansonsten immer sehr freundliche und höfliche Bedienungen erlebt. Hier war es nur unfreundlich, unhöflich und elitär arrogant. Der eine Stern ist...
