Pizzeria Rusticanella 2
About
Pizzeria Rusticanella 2 da Luca invites diners to experience the heart of Lucca’s historic centre, where every bite feels like a homage to Tuscan culinary tradition. The family‑run establishment has been a local favourite since 1920, evolving from an osteria into a modern pizzeria that still honours its heritage with a charming, airy patio beneath a bright umbrella in summer months. This hidden gem boasts a menu featuring classic Florentine‑style beefsteak, a hearty tagliata and a selection of more than 35 Tuscan wines, all crafted with extra‑virgin olive oil and locally sourced ingredients. Visitors often remark how the restaurant’s modest yet welcoming décor, paired with attentive service, creates a relaxed yet authentic dining experience. The two‑shift schedule—11:45‑14:30 and 18:45‑22:30—makes it an ideal spot for both a sunny lunch and a midnight bite after exploring Lucca’s storied streets. Beyond the food, Rusticanella 2 celebrates its proximity to landmarks such as the San Paolino church, the medieval city walls, and Puccini’s birthplace, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the city’s rich cultural tapestry before or after their meal.
