We have always promised ourselves we would try this restaurant and we are pleased to report that it was well worth the eight minute drive up the winding hillside road to reach it! We chose to eat on the outside terrace but the inside restaurant looked really smart. The staff were very friendly and the food was really good. We will definitely go back on our next trip to the area.

We were driving back down from Colognora and we stopped to have lunch at this restaurant. The food and service were excellent. It was filled with local families, men playing cards, motorcycle riders...a nice mix.
We felt very welcome and would definitely return if in the area.

This outstanding family run restaurant is well hidden on a mountaintop near Lucca. Once you find it, however, you will not forget the spectacular views, the friendly service and the fantastic food prepared just for you! The first and second plates are tantalizing and the home-made desserts are completely divine! A walk around the property is breathtaking, particularly in June when the Fireflies adorn the mountain.It is hard to find.....but definitely worth the effort.

Well, it is impossible to climb into Pescaglia hills till to Vetriano village by chance...So I want to advise you to try this restaurant. I have tried it in a working day, and with little money we ate wonderful first dishes and appetitizer and home.made desserts. The service was kind and the price was more than proper for the eaten food.
This restaurant could be a nice choice if you want to enjoy a walk in the woods near Garfagnana Valley.

Always a warm welcome from Armando and the family. We start with succulent and melt in the mouth pasta fritta and prosciutto washed down with a beer or glass of the very drinkable house wine. So many primi to choose from homemade tortelli ragu to crepes ai fungi or tagliatelle al asparagi when in season. Do save space for the boar (cingiale in umido) or arista al forno (roast pork) Or if you are very hungry the florentine steak. If you book a few days in advance they will roast a suckling pig which tastes divine! A wonderful find in the hills above Diecimo about 20 minutes from Lucca.
