Chiasso13

100% superb 👍👍 great wine recommendations by the chef and the scallops with caviar are simply breathtaking. The little octopus was absolutely great, too

They seated us last minute on a super busy day and the food was impeccable ! Wow! So fresh, local and interesting. Unique combinations that worked so well that we never would have thought of! Small, well decorated, cosy and superb service. Highly, highly recommend!

Chiasso 13 is a true hidden gem in the charming streets of Lucca — an excellent choice for dinner and a place that offers much more than just a meal. From the moment you walk in, you feel the care and passion that define this unique restaurant. What makes it truly special is the personal touch of the owner, Lorenzo, who visits your table to suggest the perfect wine pairing and walks you through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. It’s not just service — it’s storytelling, and it adds so much depth to the dining experience. The service by Lapo was equally outstanding — friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout the evening. We sampled a variety of dishes, each one full of flavour and beautifully prepared. The chicken liver pâté was rich and perfectly balanced, the pasta filled with meat and topped with truffle sauce was indulgent and delicious, and the penne al Imperiale was spot on. We also enjoyed the Montanara as a starter — crispy, savoury, and a perfect way to begin the meal. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cosy and refined, and the thoughtfully curated wine selection further elevates the experience. Chiasso 13 is more than just a restaurant — it's an authentic and intimate culinary journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lucca and looking for a great evening.

Amazing food and super friendly and accommodating staff. All over amazing, best food we had in Lucca. Great wines too!

Literally, the best dinner we had in all of Tuscany! Lucca has lots of great food, but this place exceeded them all! I went there with my parents and sister and we all shared the dishes, which were exceptional!! We started with the Montanara which I am still dreaming about today and wish I could have more! The spaghetti with shrimp tartar was the best dish of the night. But the tempura prawns were also a favorite. The owner saw we were going to use google translate on the menu, and came over personally to explain each item of the menu!! So sweet. We sat outside on the street and it was the most beautiful atmosphere! So incredible lovely! My parents stayed in Lucca longer than my sister and I, and have been back 2 other times because this place is the absolute best!!!! Thank you Chiasso 13 for such amazing food!
