This restaurant, in the historic center, is located opposite the hometown of the great musician Puccini. The chef offers a high quality range of traditional dishes, but also fresh fish of the day, a real delight! The staff were very friendly and helpful. It is bright, elegant and carefully cared for, with a charming small terrace where the noise of the street harmoniously accompanies that of the restaurant. The ideas and initiatives of the owners are not lacking, such as theme evenings accompanied, of course, by the music of Puccini. Don't miss it!

Easily the best meal of our weeklong tour of Italy, probably the best of my life.
This intimate restaurant is tucked away at the end of a small alley next to the Puccini Museum. We stumbled upon this restaurant after being turned away from a few other places due to a lack of space. As we walked down the alley, they began pulling an extra large dining table out from the restaurant for our family of six. We were asked not to sit until the table was perfectly set, and just like that, we were taken along on a culinary journey by the lovely hospitality team at Ristorante Schiaffino.
A Mother and Son team ensured every piece of the evening was meticulously taken care of - the opening bite to cleansing our pallet, a shrimp and cheese croquette that burst perfectly in your mouth. Every bottle of wine was delightful. We ordered over half the menu and shared bites amongst the six of us. The sea bass was called the "best-cooked fish any of us had ever had," and the Rissotto was "perfectly al dente" When they brought us dessert, the food arrived with a smile that told us the best was yet to come. We followed with a small glass of grappa, making for a delightful walk back to our Airbnb.
Perfect for a date, a wonderful time with our family. We tried to go back the following evening for another drink, but they were unfortunately closing up. Would make the trip back to Lucca just to eat here again.
