My favourite place to eat in Lucca is Paris Boheme. It is owned and run by the delightful Luis, front of house, and Davide, in the kitchen.
They redecorate the restaurant regularly. This is the latest. Soon there will be a new summer theme.
They change the menu often as well.
Local cheese with their own preserves is a great starter.
Ravioli with strawberries and champagne is delicious.
This one is excellent too.
The erotic salad is always on the menu.
They do great things with potatoes.
This chicken was heavenly.
Here is Luis doing his thing.
I go regularly to Paris Boheme because the food is great, an freshly prepared with what is in season…and I know I am always going to see a friendly face.
Don’t miss Paris Boheme in the Piazza Cittadella in Lucca. It is beside the statue of Puccini sitting in his chair.
You should book if you want to go in the evening…say hello to Luis.
WOW! I wanted to taste them all 🙂 One day I will visit your beautiful town dear Debra. “Ravioli with strawberries ” should be delicious…. Thank you, have a nice day, Love, nia

Erotic salad? I’ve never seen a menu item called that before! It must be fun redecorating the restaurant!
