L’Angolo Tondo is a magical restaurant within the walls of Lucca with extraordinary staff. Being a visitor, language can be an issue but this restaurant has staff who were multi-lingual and genuinely interested. The menu spoke of an establishment that loves food and we followed...the Chef’s recommendations which were superb. A risotto of wonderful complexity and flavour and a main course of Wood Pigeon with a beetroot cream amongst various delicious vegetables. The marriage was perfect. The wine list was also extensive and we had a semi- mature Chianti Classico Reserva at a very reasonable price. Overall, a superb meal with stellar staff and well priced to boot!?More

Outstanding food with fresh ingredients and friendly service! One of the best restaurants in Lucca, fresh homemade bread with top quality extra virgin olive oil. Try the calamari starter. The risotto is a must. But overall everything on the menu is super good top quality...and frankly worth every penny. Also worth saying The place Is really clean and the waiters are very nice people who are passionate about what they do.More

Absolutely beautiful food and flawless service. We shared some starters (meat cuts and chickpea and black cabbage stack), and both were very tasty. Main course was a game pasta and a deer filet with parsnips and beetroot. Gorgeous. Puddings were, for a change, absolutely worth...the calories and the coffee was excellent too. Service was superb and our thanks to the team for such an enjoyable evening.More

We had a reservation for lunch here , as we planned our walking tour of Lucca. We arrived here just on time at the midway point of our tour- at the old Roman amphitheater, which is an open area in the middle of the city...lined by shops and restaurants. Per our reservation, we had a great outside table at the edge of the open space. Service was attentive. We had a bottle of a local white wine: Monte Carlo Bianco, which was refreshing. Our dishes were not the usual Italian fare-and excellent and very tasty. We shared La Nostra Carabaccia – a stuffed onion with custard and pecorino foam and crumbles-wonderful!. One of us had vegetarian polpetta speziata and the other amberjack grilled with red cabbage and pumpkin puree. These dishes were fantastic also. A great lunch for our day in Lucca!More

A great restaurant. We hadn't booked and were lucky to get a table by the window overlooking the square. The service was warm and friendly with an explanation of each dish we asked about. Bread came in a brown paper bag, fresh with a tasty...crust. We all opted for just a main course. The highlights were pasta in a deer sauce and a vegetarian tandoori cous cous. For dessert we enjoyed a carrot cake with a sharp orange puree. Would definitely recommend!!More

Locally sourced ingredients, fantastic atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. We celebrated our engagement here and loved it so much we returned a few nights later! My favourite dish had to be the Lombata di Capriolo. Absolutely stunning. The married couple who served us were...so lovely and put up with my poor attempts at speaking Italian! Thank you to all for making our trip so memorable. Grazie di cuore 🖤More

Excellent restaurant, serving something different with good options for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Helpful and friendly staff, never felt rushed. Prices are competitive with added touches of welcome drink etc. Gets busy - 35 covers only so need to book in advance.

We booked this restaurant the day before coming and got one of the last tables available and had to give the table back by 9pm, but not a problem. We had a very relaxed and tasty dinner. All of the staff were very friendly and...knowledgeable and (to our shame) spoke faultless English. Service was excellent, attentive but not too much. We started with cocktails, they were delicious. The food choices on the a la carte and specials board were all very interesting, not bog standard food you find everywhere, and all delicious - risotto, steak and special seafood pasta. The local wine was very tasty indeed and reasonably priced. Bearing in mind the quality of food and service and the touristy location, the prices were very reasonable.More

We only had one full day in Lucca and wanted to make the most out of our dinner there, and were not disappointed here! Try to book ahead if you can as it is very sought after, we were lucky and slipped in the only...remaining slot at 7pm-9pm. Despite there being a cut off time where they needed the table back, we never felt rushed and the service was relaxed but attentive. However, the food is the main event here. We had the antipasto to start which was all delicious, and lamb and steak for mains which were both incredible. Also a recommendation from our server of local red wine from Lucca was exceptional. All in all, a great spot with fantastic food, but served with no pretension by lovely people.More

Booked a table having read some good reviews - a little trepidatious as the piazza is a bit of a tourist trap, I was wrong. The food was simple, but so often simple food is poorly prepared. Panzanella with seafood was a triumph - mussels,...octopus and prawns. That was followed by a slab of swordfish that was cooked to absolute perfection accompanied by a vegetable rosti that was spot on. My companion had wild boar tagliatelle that, again, was incredibly well cooked and presented. Add the complimentary aperitif as you arrive, the attentive (but not overly) staff and I think you have an absolute gem of a restaurant that I would recommend to anyone! I was going to end my review there but I will add one more thing. This was our second evening in Lucca. Last night we had a perfectly edible steak elsewhere. Two courses for one, one course for the other with wine came to considerably more than two and three courses at L’Angolo Tondo this evening - and the quality of the food is at a different level!More

Excellent restaurant in a fantastic location. We were a party of 10 so pre-booked and were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and given a great table overlooking the beautiful piazza. In spire of it's location in one of Lucca's most famous squares,...the restaurant definitely leans more to fine dining than typical tourist fayre. The young and dynamic team provided excellent service with recommendations on the food, specials and local wine. They were also very accommodating in providing 'off menu' dishes for the kids whoMore
