Great place to go with kids as they have a garden. Just outside of lucca but it feels like you are in the countryside. Meat is great!

When I learned that we were going to visit this legendary restaurant one weekend I was ecstatic. Traditional Lucchese food prepared with care and absolutely delicious. The fried chicken and french fries are world famous but the rovinelli were also divine. We will definitely go back. If you’re looking for traditional food and for a restaurant that is frequented by locals this is place to go!

We learned about Vipore restaurant when we did a wine tasting over at Tenuta Adamo winery. Our tour guide Giulia recommended the restaurant, and we are so thankful. My wife and I have done traveling all around the world and have made some amazing memories; but Vipore is very easily one of the top 2 or 3 dinning experiences we’ve ever had. Let me set the scene. It’s a cool evening, it’s golden hour, and you walk towards the back of Vipore and are welcomed by incredibly friendly hosts who take us to our table that is overlooking a beautiful green field. There’s candle lighting, families sitting laughing enjoying life and just having the best time. This is exactly what we walked into. Not only was the ambiance perfect, the service was superb. Vipore’s owner was so welcoming as were all the staff. We were given bread and local olive oil with balsamic vinegar and Tuscan spring water and shortly after we ordered the house red wine, also superb, we’re pretty sure it was from the local wineries as everything was fresh and delicious. Our food was so good, my wife got the rabbit pasta which we are told is a local dish in Lucca and my wife really enjoyed it, especially it being something a bit different. From start to finish it was the perfect evening. Vipore is literally the epitome of Italian hospitality, and we are so happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant. Please please, do yourself a favor, stop by make a reservation and go spend several hours there, take in the food, the wine, the ambience enjoy your family. Thank you Vipore, we will 100% be back and can’t recommend you enough!

One of the best, if not the BEST, pollo alla brace, cooked with lemon juice. Instead, the BESTEST french fries (with garlic and herbs) i’ve ever tried in my life. Fairly priced, with a wonderful and breezy garden.

Absolutely fantastic Tuscan gem. The food and service are top notch, located in an incredible old building on the hills outside Lucca. This is worth the time to visit.

We had some of their best dishes here and it was the best restaurant we have went to on our little trip in lucca. Only complaint would be the sketchy road but that isn’t the restaurant’s fault.
