Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We loved this bar! The cocktails and wine were great and the guys behind the bar were brilliant and very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely food and friendly service. Was good to have different choices of dishes suitable for a meat eater and a vegetarian. Reasonably priced and didn't feel too touristy so don't be put off by a small menu mentioning sandwiches. The waiters and waitresses were friendly...and chatted away in perfect English which we appreciated. Lovely quiet courtyard in the back as well as booths inside and tables on the street. The gypsy fig cocktail was very different and delicious. Thanks for a lovely evening.More

We have been staying in Lucca for a month now - we went to Vinarkia a few times before tonight and had a fabulous experience. However tonight ( Monday) the owners weren’t there and our experience was totally different. Rude staff who were very dismissive....The Aperol spritz was weak , worst we have had in Lucca ( and we have had a lot). The wine by the glass on previous occasions was brought to me in a bottle and I was given a taste. Not tonight - I had no idea what was in my glass. Message to the owners - perhaps keep an eye on what happens when you are not there ! Very disappointing.More

Lovely atmosphere, great music, wine & snacks. We had a red wine and a sparkly white, along with some cheese, prosciutto and figues. The staff was incredibly sweet and attentive (bonus points for double-checking my food allergies and making absolute sure that I could eat...everything on the charkuterie board). They even gave us great recommendations for where to eat dinner in Lucca, and noted down 5 restaurants, explaining the style and menu of each place.More

Very hospitable owner and staff. Comfortable atmosphere. A great place to relax and talk about the day. I will be in Lucca and Vinarkia will be our go-to place to relax.

Lovely bar with very friendly and helpful staff. It was busy both times we visited but we were given a table and made to feel very welcome for drinks. We didn’t eat, though the menu and food we saw looked delicious. Nice atmosphere, quirky decor...- would definitely recommend.More

Second visit to this lovely wine bar. The choice of drinks is huge, wine was very good and although the food menu was small & simple it was beautiful. I definitely want to go back - however my next Lucca visit is with children and...their really wasn’t anything on the menu for them 🙁More

We have had the pleasure of visiting this excellent Wine Bar on 4 occasions in the last fortnight - and the reception has been brilliant on each occasion. - whether for drinks, some nibbles or platter food as we enjoyed tonight. The young couple who...own it have breathed new life into this venue with great cocktails, wine, food, blues music and … atmosphere! Well done Rebecca and gang. We will be back for a fifth plus time!More

We had a late and filling lunch, and stumbled upon this place where we had the most delicious charcuterie platter with excellent prosciutto, cheeses and figs, plus an superb, reasonably priced, bottle of super -Tuscan" style vino rosso. The little garden in the back is...delightful. Hopefully they have now learned what a Faraday cage is so their garden wifi will work.More

We stumbled across this wonderful bar one night in Lucca. The cocktails were nothing short of superb and there was a warm friendly atmosphere. It was almost like every patron in the bar was friends with staff including us, even though it was only our...first night in Lucca! I want to particularly express my gratitude for Nico, who hand wrote a whole list of recommendations of things to see, eat and do. One of the restaurants he recommended us turned out to be our favourite in Lucca and one of the best meals we have ever eaten. Could not recommend this lovely place enough.More

Stumbled upon this hidden gem of bar while walking around Lucca and I went back a few times after. I love the interiors & the ambience. The bartenders are friendly, knowledgeable and really skilled. I’m very picky about my cocktails and they’re able to make...it just the way I like it. They have a great collection of wines as well. This place became one of my go to bar during my stay in Lucca.More

This place looks very small and dark from the street, but if you ask for a table on the garden terrace you'll find a quiet oasis in the middle of Lucca. Right under a big pomelo tree there are a couple of tables where you...can enjoy some tasty sandwiches with a splendid selection of wines. The very friendly staff will help you pick wines (or cocktails) if you want. You get why the locals also frequent this bar.More

The owners, Rebecca and Nicolino are amazing and so was the food and atmosphere. In a great location, we enjoyed lunch there with friends that frequent this place. They speak English and you will have a wonderful time here. We highly recommend it!
