A small pearl in Lucca' old town - Edit
Small fully vegetarian & vegan restaurant (serves no meat) in the historical centre of Lucca, on the lovely San Giusto square. Squeezed between a bistro/bar and another restaurant. Menu consists only of vegetarian and vegan items and in part changes daily. During our visit the had 4 vegan items (see photos), all were very good. Staff is friendly, service is fast. In- and outdoor seating.

Quick vegan option - Edit
Small vegan cafe. Would recommend to eat outside as inside you sit on tall stools. Friendly if rather eccentric service. No menu or prices to look at - you are told what is being served and have to take a bit of pot luck as to what you get ! The food we had was absolutely delicious- we had a huge Buddha bowl which was very good, and a hearty soup. Not fancy but very good. Would recommend for lunch or a quick supper.
Read morePros: Completely vegan, Food was very tasty, Large portion sizes
Cons: No written menu or prices, Inside seating a bit uncomfortable

Good stop for lunch. - Edit
We stopped here for lunch and had a good soup and the Buddha bowl. They only have a small menu but very different things.
Read moreThe place was very crowded at lunch time, so it took some time to order and get the food.
The place is more a bistro than a restaurant.

Food simple but ok nothing extraordinary. Ask for pricing before because they don't have a menu with prices.

Un buon posto per un pranzo veloce - Edit
Locale carino e informale nel centro di Lucca. Ideale per un pranzo veloce, consumando un piatto unico e completo. Abbiamo preso un Buddha bowl e un burger. Ottimo il primo, con ingredienti freschi e cucinati dal cuoco del locale, buono il secondo. Peccato che gli hamburger non siano preparati freschi ma confezionati. Comunque un buon posto.

Good, Hearty Food - Edit
This is a small shop. The menu consists of a few items, most vegan, and will be shared orally. I had the Buddha bowl, which seems like a popular item. It was very tasty and filling.

A bit dodgy - Edit
Food was great but no menus or pricing. They just told you what was available and made up a price at the end. The owner seems a bit shifty too!
Read moreBeware if you’re visiting to check pricing before as apparently “card reader was broken” despite us seeing people paying with card before.

Nothing special - Edit
We had the Buddha Bowl and the vegan burger and it was ok but not more than that. The vegetables were overcooked and the burger was quite neutral.
Read moreThe service from the owners on the other hand was kind and responsive.

Fabulous vegan/veggie healthy food! - Edit
Amazing Buddha bowl of scrumptious goodies that were all vegan. A few veggie options as well. No milk served at all so black coffee or booze or soft drinks. Lovely chef and front of house, very friendly. Delicious, healthy and very reasonable price: what’s not to like!

Great Vegetarian Place - Edit
Friendly owners and tasty dishes for a light dinner or a filling lunch. If you fancy a picnic on the wall you can also get a take away.

Niente asporto, non ne hanno voglia - Edit
Abbiamo richiesto l’asporto e la cameriera ci ha rimbalzato in modo frettoloso al ragazzo dietro il bancone che ha cercato di farci arrendere su questa richiesta dicendo che c’erano almeno 40 minuti da aspettare, noi abbiamo risposto che non vi era problema, non avevamo fretta, che potevamo ordinare, pagare e poi tornare a ritirare ma ha tirato fuori altre scuse in modo brusco e si intuiva che questo asporto non aveva voglia di prepararlo, seppur con il bancone pieno di cibo. alla fine abbiamo rinunciato purtrooppo #Veganuary

Avoid!! False advertising!! Not vegetarian, lier and aggressive, read below! - Edit
They sell meat under the counter although they labeled themselves as “vegetarian / vegan”. When I entered the shop I asked if it was vegetarian which he agreed, then I saw some people eating sausages and asked the owner if they were beyond meat because they looked very realistic. After trying to avoid the topic he admitted those were “real” sausages made of pork. I asked some locals and they said this shop was rebranded as vegetarian / vegan but never stopped selling meat to previous clients. They clearly just doing it for the money.
Read moreThere are other vegan / veggie shops around, I would recommend to avoid putting money in their pocket as I did.
UPDATE: I left this exact comment in Tripadvisor and Facebook where he called vegans “vegetable nazis“ and a “moron”, he thinks vegetarians and vegans are extremists and he just does it for the money.
After that I checked on his previous bad reviews on TripAdvisor and he is clearly xenophobic and super aggressive towards people who give him bad reviews.
I had a buddha bowl which was ok, the food itself was not bad but after finding out what they're doing it doesn't really matter. As I said there’re other options in town.
Cons: Calls vegans “nazis”, False advertising, sells meat, Aggressive and xenophobic

I have been a vegan since 1985. I popped into this shop (since I live in Lucca) and got such a negative vibe and interaction, that I never went back, never ate there.

Nice food - Edit
I ordered the buddha bowl which was €10. It had lentils, roasted veg, peas, wild rice, couscous with a sauce on top. It was very nice and filling. It also came with faccotia. The staff was friendly and spoke a little bit of english. There was also a bathroom and the atmosphere was nice sitting outside.
