Osteria da Pasquale

A fantastic place to eat in Lucca. The food was wonderful and Pasquale made sure that the wine paired perfectly. The restaurant is one of those places that you don’t want to leave when you’re finished your meal. Can’t recommend it enough. If you plan on eating there, make sure you book a table as a walk up is very unlikely to happen. Thanks again to all of the team!

I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. This is now my favorite restaurant in the world. Pasquale and his staff are passionate and take a lot of pride in the food and drink. Everything is of the highest quality and the food is made with love and unique combinations. Even the olive oil on the table for your bread was picked and pressed the day before! It was AMAZING! The hubby and I had to order the seafood pasta because it had oranges in it. It was delicious. Of course I was talking to the table next to us and they ordered the white ragù and said it was amazing. We also ordered the octopus salad which was yummy and the chocolate Pudding for dessert. It was a molten chocolate cake and delicious. I live this place and it is a must for an authentic Italian osteria. Thank you

We’ve now been to Da Pasquale three times in the past year and a half and even took a detour on our previous trip just to eat here because we simply love this restaurant. The food is always a delight: fresh ingredients, perfectly prepared, creative but never overdone. Every dish tastes honest and authentic, truly Italian and at the same time refined. We especially want to highlight the service: warm, attentive, and personal — and Pasquale himself is just a unique and very cool guy! 🙂 You don’t just feel welcome here; you feel genuinely appreciated as a guest. The wine selection is also outstanding! And if you’d like, you can take a piece of Italy home with you by buying some of their excellent products such as olive oil or pasta. If you’re in Lucca or nearby, don’t miss Da Pasquale. For us, it’s the perfect restaurant!

Last week we had dinner at Pasquale's. We tried to make a reservation on the day itself, but he said it was the busiest day of the year and he was completely full. However, he said he would contact me later that evening if a table became available. And sure enough, he called to say there was a table for two! We were given a special spot outside in peace and quiet, where Pasquale and his team welcomed us and our spouses. We drank the most beautiful wine of the whole week here, a monthly personal recommendation on the menu. The food was also perfectly prepared for both of us. My girlfriend's veal was initially cooked a little too long, but this was quickly resolved and the team ensured that everything ran smoothly. This is a must if you are in Lucca, don't hesitate to book well in advance! Pasquale and team: thank you for the unforgettable (white) evening! Sven & Luz

This is my favourite restaurant of our whole trip through Tuscany by far. The food was exquisite- full of flavour - including fresh fish, pasta, risotto and seasonal vegetables, plus delicate desserts - just perfect! The local Lucca olive oil is something special and the wines are all personally selected by Pasquale himself who’s generous with his time and attention to his guests - he really cares about the experience. Highly recommended - if you can get a table, just go!
