Martini - LUCCA

Qualche giorno fa sono stata in questo bar molto carino nel centro storico di Lucca. Dopo aver fatto una piacevole colazione, mi sono dimenticato il portafogli su un tavolo esterno. Il personale lo ha trovato e lo ha custodito per diversi giorni. Vorrei ringraziarli per l'onestà e la serietà, oltre che per la gentilezza e professionalità della barista e la buona colazione. Consiglio assolutamente.

Ho appena soggiornato a Lucca con la mia famiglia e a colazione ci fermavamo al bar Martini: brioches ottime, caffè molto buono, titolare schietta e cortese. Niente da dire

We went for drinks and decided to stay for a light dinner. We were more than happy with the service the drinks and snacks and not to forget the gorgeous salad. Also roast and pasta ist really good. We didn 't expect that in a simple bar. Moreover the terrace enjoys the last evening sun. A privilege compared to many bars in town. Definitely a good place to go for a sundowner and more.

On our first visit to Lucca we stayed in an apartment overlooking this bar and it became a bit of a 'regular ' for us as there were international football matches being played live. This visit we were staying in the south side of the city but as it 's no great walk anyway, we walked here on our first full day to start with a drink at our old haunt. It was quite quiet but they were welcoming and as is so often the case in Lucca we were given a tasty snack to enjoy with our drinks.

Bar Martini, across the road from our apartment was the perfect place to sit and relax and just people watch over a quality coffee, prosecco or glass of the local vino. Hard working and English speaking Guilia, is the perfect hostess. Always quick with a smile she was welcoming and generous with complimentary bruschetta, olives or chips. Whilst the meal menu was not extensive, her salads and pastas were fresh, homemade and generous in size. The location opposite Porta Santa Maria is very handy for wall walkers looking for a break, a drink or a light meal. We noted that Bar Martini was well supported by Lucca locals, which is always a great indicator. Patrons should note that Guilia opens Bar Martini early in the mornings and aimed to clean up and close around 5.30pm after a long day!!
