If you're Italian and want to eat well but be treated like trash, this restaurant is for you.<br><br>We spent a Friday night here, sat down at 9:00 PM, ordered at 9:45 PM, and drank our first sip of water at 10:00 PM.<br><br>Our first bite was at 10:45 PM.<br><br>Then we discovered why:<br>we're not Americans!! nor tourists!!<br><br>In fact, we immediately noticed, along with other unfortunate Italian couples, that speaking English or German guaranteed fast and excellent service.<br><br>Speaking Italian, however, only unlocked access to the dishes, certainly not to all the other ancillary services.<br><br>Thanks, but eating well is no longer enough in a restaurant in Lucca's historic center. Besides, I've lived here for 30 years.
This is the best restaurant I have ever been too! The service was amazing, and every single plate served was outstanding. It would be a disservice to not come here while you are in Lucca. I had the gnocchi dish and OMG. Also, the server was very patient with my limited Italian. Grazie mille!
Surely the best restaurant in Lucca.<br>Had the tasting menu, it was truly divine. Excellent service, too. Grazie mille ❤️

Good morning,<br>Thank you for your feedback 😍<br>We look forward to welcoming you again!<br>Thank you and have a nice day!<br>
We've been to Miranda several times, and each time, they still manage to surprise us.<br><br>The menu is refined, imaginative, seasonal, and constantly evolving. Each dish demonstrates care, creativity, and meticulous attention to the ingredients. It's one of those places you return to knowing you'll always find something new to discover.<br><br>A big thank you goes to all the staff, always kind, helpful, and attentive, but never intrusive. The dishes are presented and explained with expertise and simplicity, never overwhelming or boring, allowing the customer to fully enjoy the experience.<br><br>A special mention also goes to Chef Giulio, who always comes out at the end of the evening to ensure everything went well and that every dish was appreciated. He is friendly, helpful, and attentive to any needs, modifications, intolerances, or allergies. And what we particularly appreciate is that, even with specific dietary needs, he never offers simple makeshift solutions: there is always research, care, and creativity, even in dishes designed to please each individual customer.<br><br>The decor and location are stunning, meticulously crafted and perfectly complement the cuisine.<br><br>If I could give ten stars, I'd give them all. But perhaps just one would be enough... the Michelin one.

My meal at Miranda was the highlight of my 6 days in beautiful Lucca. I arrived later after a lengthy siesta without a reservation but was welcomed and offered the bar seating. I proceeded to drink some delicious local wine and eat my way through 4 courses of some of the most delicious food I've ever had. The food was so good, I was dancing in my chair at the sheer joy that was being dumped into my brain. I particularly enjoyed the gnocchi balls with locally sourced veal sausage, but the standout remains that dark chocolate gelato and homemade sour cherries - amazing!

Anniversary dinner with my girlfriend was practically perfect. Impeccable and fast service, the waitress was a smiling and very kind blonde. Unfortunately, I don't know her name, but I'd like to compliment her on her excellent work. The food was excellent. I recommend the chitarra with caviar, excellent. The only downside was the gnudi, which were too acidic, but still delicious. The price was pretty in line with everything else. I recommend it!

I only booked a table at Miranda as it was convenient, situated underneath our beautiful rental apartment and we'd had a long day out. We had no idea the food was so exceptional, the degustation menu - Oltre il territorio at 70€ was unbelievably good value, Michelin star quality (chef sensibly doesn't want the hassle or pressure). We were blown away by the exquisite preparation and flavours, which just kept on coming, one surprise after another, (cuddles at the end!!) divine combined with a fantastic local colline Lucchesi red. Service was great, lovely team, relaxed atmosphere. Wanted to go again the next night, but were leaving. So I'm heading straight there next time and definitely if you are travelling through Tuscany, a stop in Lucca is a must anyway but make sure (if you are a foodie) you book a table at Miranda's

Was cycling around lucca, it was hot. Stopped here for lunch and discovered another amazing place in Lucca ! They have some really interesting dishes on the menu, which i tried. I love discovering new places like this. It’s off the main trail into lucca but well worth a visit. Also has decent shade in the afternoon

This is such a beautiful restaurant with an elevated but cosy ambience. We took the tasting menu which gave us some surprising dishes but with a core of italian classic flavours. The staff was super friendly and nice. A definite recommendation!

A must go when in Lucca<br>So far one of the best experiences we have had in Lucca. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We have had watermelon caprese and tomato pasta as primi (absolutely delightful) followed by pasta with seabass tartare and pork as our secondi. And the fior di latte gelato with chocolate crumble and aceto vinegar was surprisingly (not surprisingly) delicious. Combined with an attentive and friendly service (to us and our dog) we had a lovely evening that we will repeat. Thank you team Osteria Miranda 🙏🏼
