Ristorante Giglio Review

Run by the same family who owns La Buca di Sant'Antonio, the Giglio proposes a delicate, refined take on Lucchese classics with an inventive twist. Start off with an artichoke tort, a piping hot pastry lined with creamed chickpeas and ricotta. For something a little lighter, try the risotto alle seppioline e fave, a lively mix of cuttlefish and fresh fava beans. If you've had your fill of rabbit and wild boar on this trip, take advantage of an excellent filetto here, which the sommelier Angelo will pair with a spectacular red. Choose the quiet, elegant dining room, or book an outdoor table in advance. If there is a loud concert on the square that night, it's best to stay indoors.

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.
