Frommer's Review

Run by the same family who owns Buca di Sant'Antonio, the Giglio serves Lucchese classics on the main square of the same name. Be sure to book an outdoor table in advance, unless there is a concert on the square that night, in which case it's best to steer clear. The Giglio makes excellent crostini, especially the one with prosciutto della Garfagnana, but it is most proud of its homemade pasta. For a Lucca classic, try the maccheroni di farro al sugo di coniglio, a whole grain pasta in a rabbit sauce.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
