Description: Antica Locanda Di Sesto is a restaurant located on the right side of the Serchio River,in the outskirts of Lucca. The Building dates back to the 1368, as the marble stone in front of the restaurant says, a period when the local merchants started to build their own country estates, used to relax and chill out in the summer but also to gain business profits. From the XIV Century the village of Sesto was property of the "De Nobili" Family and they had, according to various rumors, 101 farmers working only for them in the village. It is thanks to this powerful family that the "Locanda" was built, and even now you can see the remains of the old building inside the restaurant. *We now offer a free shuttle service from Lucca town centre*

I booked this restaurant for my parents 40th anniversary dinner when we were on holiday in Lucca. The drive from Lucca is very scenic and lovely. The atmosphere was good & the restaurant is in an old rustic building in keeping with the gorgeous Tuscan food. There were 6 of us and everyone loved each of their dishes. The beef... More

We went here twice, once for dinner and once for lunch and loved it both times, often I find when I return to a restaurant it is not quite as good the second time. Not here. First of all the ride is beautiful, before or after take the loop north back to Lucca. The scenery is worth the extra time,... More

We celebrated our twin daughter's birthday here - we asked them to pick their favorite restaurant to have dinner - and they both chose Antica Locanda. One daughter lives in the area and the other in Atlanta, and they had been to Antica Locanda in October, and insisted we go back! It was a great dinner and the atmosphere was... More

This was my second visit to Antica Locando and it was another very special meal. Every dish was fantastic, prepared and seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere is very nice and the restaurant is filled with locals with only a few tables of tourists. Be sure to make a reservation so that you don't miss out on this special restaurant! One of...

Please take a look at the new website. You will surely be convinced this is, not only the best Lucca restaurant website, but also the best restaurant in Lucca. If you don't have a car, you can bike there on the back roads or take a taxi. It's only a 20 minute drive and the taxi fare is minimal. If... More

Once again we enjoyed a delightful Sunday linch here on our way back to London nearly two weeks ago. The food was absolutely delicious as usual.... More
