Lucca is a gem of Tuscany (Toscana) unfortunately overshadowed by the most famous Siena, Florence (Firenze) and Pisa.
So our first stop over has been really a great discovery and it was love at first sight. For this reason we’ve decided that one our way back from Sicily we’ll spend in Lucca a couple of weeks in order to get the real feeling of the city.
The main reason why we love Lucca is because it is quieter than the other tuscan’s cities but still has all the charm of a medieval feeling with roots from the Roman Empire.
Of course Florence offers more but after living in London for 10 years, we feel more connected with slow pace places than crazy ones with hundreds of thousands of tourists.
Restaurant in Lucca: Osteria San Francesco

In our quick stop in Lucca we had Lunch in the Osteria San Francesco and guess where? Yes, S. Francesco Square!!
The lunch was simply and fast and we can recommend the place easily considering the quality of the food and priced paid (around 40 euros).
Even if we spent only few hours in Lucca we managed to take a couple of nice shots.
