Antica Locanda di Sesto

About

Antica Locanda di Sesto sits on the right bank of the Serchio River, a historic relic dating back to 1368 that has evolved into a cherished Tuscan osteria. The restaurant’s walls whisper stories of its lineage—from the 1911 founding of the Tomei family to the 1988 establishment of the La Maolina farm—embedding a sense of continuity and heritage. Guests are welcomed into a warm, rustic setting where dishes are prepared from hand‑picked, locally sourced ingredients: homemade pasta, seasonal vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and extra‑virgin olive oil certified by the Lucca DOP program. A proud partnership with La Maolina ensures that every bite reflects the family’s commitment to organic, sustainable farming practices rooted in centuries of Tuscan tradition. Beyond its culinary offerings, the Locanda embodies the spirit of Tuscan hospitality. Families, couples, and solo travelers alike can enjoy a relaxed ambience that mirrors a bygone era, complete with wooden tables, exposed beams, and ambient music. The menu, varied from hearty lunches to elegant dinners, is carefully curated to celebrate regional flavors while remaining accessible to all tastes, including vegetarian and gluten‑free options. The evening schedule—dominated by a 20:00 to 22:00 window—provides ample time for a leisurely dinner, paired with a selection of regional wines. Antica Locanda di Sesto invites itinerants to savor not only Tuscan cuisine but also the family’s storied heritage, where the past seamlessly blends with present-day craft.
