Osteria Nova

Christoph Bossard★★★★★

We had a fantastic evening at Osteria Nova, where modern Italian cuisine truly shines. The “Bistecca alla Fiorentina” was a standout—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was exceptional! The young, friendly staff were attentive, making us feel right at home. The pasta dishes were beautifully crafted, and the wine selection complemented everything perfectly. To top it all off, the mousse au chocolat was a delightful indulgence. With its lovely atmosphere, Osteria Nova is a gem. We highly recommend it for an enjoyable dining experience that we can’t wait to repeat! 🍷✨

I took my wife there for her birthday. A lovely greeting as we entered started it off, the atmosphere was lively and eclectic, the service was impeccable, the food was superb and then the Happy Birthday dessert surprise! The whole restraunt sang along and it was just so warm and endearing. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed everything you do. Thank you all so much for creating such a beautiful and memorable experience for us. First class all the way.

My favorite restaurant for dinner in Lucca. Tuscan beef and the most amazing spaghetti with raw shrimp that cook in the heat of the pasta are my first choices. Gracious staff and creative recipes prepared perfectly in a beautiful setting are what distinguish Osteria Nova from my other top picks in Lucca.

We hate falling into tourist traps, so we quickly searched for highly rated spots nearby. We tried two places that were fully booked, and it felt like winning the lottery when Osteria Nova had availability. From the moment we walked in, we were completely mesmerized. The space is stunning; you can tell the building was once a cathe
