Butterfly

Restaurant Michelin€€€€12.6 km

Housed in a charming 19th‑century farmhouse and surrounded by a magnificent garden that delights in every season, Butterfly offers a setting as enchanting as its name suggests. The glass‑enclosed veranda dining room adds further appeal: in summer it opens fully onto the lawn, offering fresh air and relaxation, while in winter it remains closed and heated, still allowing diners to enjoy views of the greenery. In the kitchen, father and son Fabrizio and Andrea Girasoli complement each other with perfect harmony, presenting a wide and versatile menu that confidently balances meat and seafood. The

Trattoria da Marino

RestaurantBib Gourmand€€10.8 km

A village trattoria with a long history, it offers unpretentious surroundings with little in the way of adornment, yet it is the cooking that provides the true reason to make the journey: robust, generous and deeply Tuscan. The menu encompasses nearly all of the great regional classics – pappa al pomodoro, pici, ricotta gnudi, tripe and lampredotto meatballs, rabbit cooked in a terracotta pot, and the ever-present fiorentina – dishes that faithfully narrate the local traditions. Not to be missed is the tasting menu, which represents exceptional value for money. In the dining room, Edoardo Inno

Antico Ristorante Forassiepi

Restaurant€€€7.8 km

This restaurant is renowned in the province of Lucca, thanks to the reliable owners who have been at the helm here (the restaurant’s history goes back to the early 20C) since 2004. With its elegant decor and courteous and attentive service, the restaurant has a charming ambience in summer when meals are served alfresco with stunning views of the typical Tuscan hills, valleys and villages all around. The restaurant also owes its success to its cuisine, which focuses on regional specialities (both meat and fish) reinterpreted with a modern twist.

Osteria Il Maialetto

Restaurant€€11.8 km

Next to the historic family butcher’s shop lies the vibrant tavern, which is approaching its 100th anniversary without losing any of its surprisingly youthful spirit. People come here to enjoy authentic, straightforward Tuscan cuisine: from bruschetta and crostini to pappa al pomodoro and ribollita, via platters of charcuterie and Florentine steak – which, naturally, will bump up the bill a little.The warm hospitality that characterises the place makes the experience even more enjoyable.
