One of the restaurants on the wall of Lucca has extended to include a beautiful outdoor dining area…the perfect location for an autumn lunch.
The setting of San Colombano is gorgeous and the views over Lucca are wonderful.
Sometimes when the setting is great the food can be mediocre, but not in this case. The menu is interesting with lots to choose from.
I ordered ravioli stuffed with purple potatoes and duck sauce with hazelnuts…delicious.
My friends ordered vegetables with smoked scamorza. They declared it to be excellent and plans were made to try to recreate it at home.
The desserts sounded wonderful…and they were.
I love Lucca and the wall in particular. The trees are beginning to change colour.
There are a pair of lions either side of San Colombano. I wonder why they were put there many years ago.
The restaurant is on the part of the wall opposite the station. I will be returning to work my way through the menu.
