La Parte degli Angeli

Top choice in Lucca


For a stylish cocktail with a herb-infused gin perhaps, followed by dinner amid romantic frescoes, look no further than 'The Angels' Share', an intimate restaurant named after the portion of whisky lost to evaporation during the ageing process. Mixologist, chef and owner Leonardo is a huge whisky fan, works with his own homemade syrups and cooks creative Tuscan in the kitchen.

Savour tortelli with marrowbone ragù perfumed with thyme from the garden; baccalà (salted cod) with crispy chicory; and various meats from the grill, including some fantastical spicy homemade salsicce (sausages). Reservations recommended.
