Alessandro and bride made for a wonderful lunch here at this Michelin quality restaurant. Enjoyed two courses and a special glass of wine hand chosen to pair with our meal. Restaurant name Used to refer to Alessand que ro preparing meals for 21 per day...and now I hope many more include this meal in their Tuscan/ Lucca memories. Wonderful and a meal to be remembered for a lifetime. Thank you.More

A fabulous experience. The food was sublime. We didn’t even look at the menu after they explained their set menu. It delivered in quality and taste. Such friendly hosts we didn’t want to leave. Definitely one not to miss.

We visited Per 21 on the second day of a five day visit to Lucca. Absolutely excellent seafood at very reasonable prices. Three courses of balsamic octopus, sea food pasta with coconut milk and curry, seabass on a bed on carrot and ginger sauce. And...then a red wine poached pear stuffed with soy pannacotta…..all for £38. Excellent service! We already booked for a second visit for a last night in Lucca.More

The food was exceptional, we were a little hesitant at first, cause we saw the place more quiet compared to the rest around the square, but we decide to go anyways and it was well worth it. The couple were so friendly and super attentive...the food was amazing to say the leastMore

Enjoyed the excellent 3 course seafood menu at this relatively new restaurant run by a young, enthusiastic couple. Mine consisted of octopus (a first for me), a fish pasta and a sea bass in ginger. All yummy! All perfectly presented. And accompanied by an excellent...local white wine. And, of course, all washed down with a healthy dose of limoncello at the end of the evening. Well done guys! PS - the background music is great - even some Van Morrison to make us feel at home!More

Absolutely great. We loved everything about it, nice atmosphere (even though the first impression from outside had not convinced us), great service from the pair that run the place and exquisite fusion cuisine.

This is not your normal Lucca restaurant. It only has indoor seating but it is the place to go if you are looking for something special. It has a very relaxing atmosphere with great service and fabulous food. What more can you ask for.

We had a fantastic meal here on our last night in Italy. Delicious tasting menu and other options, all prepared with real imagination, skill and care. Service was also brilliant - friendly, attentive and helpful. A real highlight in a trip that was full of...great food. Booking looks to be essential, but easily done online. Grazie.More

This new restaurant is simply fantastic. The table service is great, multilingual and friendly; the location is very convenienty in the centre, and the food! The food is of supreme quality! The basis is traditional italian and the chef adds to every meal an extra....Sometimes you taste a japanees twist, sometimes a south american one, but always in balance with the original dish. Yes. Congratulations to the chef and to his wife.More
