My wife and I were here for lunch. Pricey and food just so so. Whole atmosphere was stuffy. Meal truly ruined, however, by a tableful of guests with the most unruly loud bratty children I have seen in years, The wait staff did nothing to silence them, nor did their parents(they were not American, by the way.)

This restaurante was very classy. Interior was beautiful, with lots to see. Meal started with a complimentary glass of Prosecco, then a pistachio cream frache pallette cleanser, between us we had Insalata mista, grilled sea bass (which they did a lovely job of filleting for me and was excellent) caprese salad, ravioli and veal with roasted potato. All selections were... More

We ate at this restaurant twice during our six night stay in Lucca. It is true you get what you pay for - the meal on our first visit was excellent and the wait staff really pleasant without being stuffy. The dining room is really luxurious with a beautiful fire place being the centre piece of the room - imagine... More

Dining at the Ristorante Giglio feels like an event. It is tempting to eat outdoors in summer but inside the restaurant is more special. Fabulous service from excellent waiters in very elegant surroundings. The menu choice is excellent and does not feel like it is catering solely for tourists. I can recommend the Guancia di Vitello (so soft it can... More

This was the best dinner we had in Lucca. Restaurant was full indoors so we sat on a patio that was covered with heaters. Didn't get to see the inside dining room so can't comment on atmosphere. Outdoors was lovely. Service was attentive and menus had English. We had artichoke and parmigiano salad which was light and fresh and delicious.... More

We didn't know the restaurant opened at 7 and entered at 6:45. The entire restaurant staff was sitting at a row of tables, eating dinner together before the shift. Instead of turning us away, they let us sit in the dining room while they finished. That congenial, cooperative event set the tone of our experience. The staff was super nice,... More

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at Giglio last night. Started with a delicious bean soup, followed by, of all things, fried chicken, with fried artichokes, which was terrific. My wife had the grilled branzino, prepared whole and filleted, which she loved. Paired with a good local wine and beautiful surroundings, it made for a memorable evening. Word to the wise-make a...

Been visiting Giglio many times, last time was October 2012 and look forward to be back in July this year. For my wife and me there is a secret to the day when we will be there, not to be told. The level of cuisine is terrific with a great blend of the traditional Tuscan kitchen. People working at Giglio... More

We had visited Pisa and also squeezed in Lucca in our day trip and found ourselves after a lovely few hours walking around hungry and ready to eat. As luck would have it Restaurant Giglio was open early by Italian standards (7pm) and we settled down to a wonderful meal and a surprising menu choice. I would rate itn as... More
