Picturesque restaurant in the heart of beautiful Lucca.  We were a group of six and they placed us in a room detached from the main body, so it felt quite calm and private. Yet we were not forgotten, the service was prompt,  efficient and friendly. They have a very extensive menu. We recommend.mend that you still k to the traditional local dishes. Overall,  a pleasant experience.

We just returned from a 2 week trip to Italy and this was by far our favorite place! The family that runs this restaurant is so welcoming from the moment you walk in the door.  The special pasta of the day was a pecorino pistachio cream sauce and it was out of this world.  You can tell there is so much passion and love in the food and in the ambience of this restaurant.  THANK YOU for an unforgettable experience.  We will return when we are back in 6 months!

May 2023We booked our reservation on &quot;The Fork&quot; one hour before going to dinner.  We arrived a few minutes late and it was no problem at all.  The staff was very attentive and patient (slight language barrier) with me and my wife.  The service was quick (but not too fast) and the food was fresh, hot and fresh.  We dined inside and were surrounded with wine bottles from many, many vineyards which provided a casual elegance to the dining experience.  We enjoyed the appetizers, 1st course, 2nd course and the dessert.  The wine selections for us was perfect.  Need I say more???  Go there and enjoy a wonderful meal at a very, very reasonable price.

Very nice experience, food was great, service quick!  special thanks to the waiter who took time to speak in Italian to let us practice , I am from the catering business and I really appreciate the professionalism of the staff .

Lovely Bavarian restaurant. Excellent food and generous portions. Wide beer selection. A bit loud and definitely catering to families with children and large groups, wouldn&rsquo;t recommend if you&rsquo;re looking for quiet or romantic.

This was fine dining at its best. A set menu using very fresh local ingredients. Absolutely delicious, surprising, theatrical. It&rsquo;s expensive, but worth it when you see the care and creativity of each dish.

It looks the part&hellip;the atmosphere is good&hellip;the service is good&hellip;the food? Not great&hellip;not good&hellip;bland&hellip;no sense of &ldquo;freshness&rdquo;.

Good food, late evening service, unrushed. Overall good and not to expensive. Plus the Bolgheri vino ???? ????

We had an extremely good deal through the Fork which made this a very economical meal. The food was fine, the staff were lovely. We had a meat and cheese platter.
