The Journey
Pâtisserie near the Church and Square
Begin your Lucca experience in a traditional pâtisserie near the church and main square, where you'll taste the iconic 'Buccellato.' This sweet bread, a Luccan staple with ancient origins, is made from simple ingredients and traditionally shaped as a ring, now more commonly oval for convenience. Enjoy this local delicacy while soaking in the atmosphere of Lucca's historical heart, observing the architectural beauty and vibrant energy of the square and church surroundings.
Local Restaurant in the Walled City
Venture into a characteristic restaurant within Lucca's historic walls to savor 'Tordelli,' the quintessential Luccan pasta. This regional specialty features pasta stuffed with a delightful mix of meats, cheeses, chard, and mortadella, dressed in either a savory meat sauce or simply with oil and cacio cheese. Immerse yourself in the authentic culinary scene and feel like a true local as you enjoy this unique dish found only in Lucca, connecting with the city's rich gastronomic heritage.
Tavern/Bar in the Square
Indulge in a fresh plate of exquisite Tuscan cold cuts paired with a lovely glass of local red wine in the square or within an old-style tavern. Tuscany is renowned for its cured meats, and Lucca is no exception. Taste the best local cold cuts, each bite a testament to the region's culinary expertise, complemented by a carefully selected wine that enhances the flavors and offers a true taste of Tuscan hospitality. Experience the relaxed ambiance of Lucca as you enjoy this simple yet refined pleasure.
Street Shop Vendor & Trusted Bar
Explore Lucca's street food scene with a stop at a local vendor to try 'Cecina,' a thin focaccia made from chickpea flour, water, salt, and olive oil. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, this is a must-try local snack. Then, venture into a trusted bar to choose from a selection of exclusively made Tuscan chocolates or opt for a refreshing Italian gelato.
