The best pastries in Lucca?

I have heard several times that the best pastries to be had in Lucca are at Buralli…time to find out.

Buralli is outside the walls on the outward bound road towards the entrance to the Autostrada. It isn’t the most convenient place to get to and car parks are as scarce as hen’s teeth, but we were on a mission.

The style is modern.

The pastries look very good indeed.

There are savoury items too.

The verdict? My Sicilian cannoli was excellent, every bit as good as those I tried in Sicily and Jim’s cream filled cornetto was also given the thumbs up.

The coffee was good and the service friendly. We will be back.

Buralli Pasticceria…Viale Europa 797.

Closed Monday (Our first visit. We wondered why the car park was almost empty)
