Trattoria degli Ulivi is a walking distance from the Villa (see the map). Trattoria is open only during lunch hours, i.e. 12-2 pm. The place is full of local people, which guarantees truly scrumptious Italian cuisine. You can have a solid lunch in a family atmosphere.

Restaurant & Pizzeria Da Pinzo in Ponte a Moriano (see the map) is situated in the main square of the town.
The owner Signora Emma serves fabulous Tuscan food at bargain prices. There is a huge variety of dishes to satisfy every palate. We highly recommend this place!
Le Colonne in Matraia (see the map) is a large restaurant with a very good service, good inexpensive food and a huge choice of pasta and meats. We recommend beef tagliata with rucola and cheese. Another safe bet is excellent pizza on thin delicate crust. The view of the hills from the terrace is spectacular.
Osteria del Vecchio Pazzo in S.Pancrazio (see the map) or The Old Madman’s was established in the former olive oil factory of Villa Grabau. It serves typical Lucchesi cuisine, delicious and inexpensive. More detailed info on their site: www.osteriadelvecchiopazzo.it
