Ristorante Giglio

Top choice in Lucca


Splendidly at home in frescoed 18th-century Palazzo Arnolfini, Giglio is stunning. Sip a complimentary prosecco, watch the fire crackle in the marble fireplace and savour traditional Tuscan fare with a modern twist: think fresh artichoke salad served in an edible parmesan-cheese wafer 'bowl', or risotto simmered in Chianti. End with Lucchese buccellato (sweet bread) filled with ice cream and berries.

In summer dining spills out onto Giglio's pretty terrace overlooking the town's historic theatre.
