The homemade Limoncello was rather good too. Exceptional food and a warm friendly welcome from staff. The restaurant is located on the right side of the Serchio River,... More

We had dinner at Antica Locanda twice last week and loved it! Everything was perfect, from the ambiance to the food to the proprietors. On our first night, the main dining room was crowded, and we had no reservation. The hostess sat us in the secondary dining room, which was empty. Dinner in that room felt like a private dining...

Entering Antica Locanda was so exciting for me. From recommendations, I was looking forward to an exceptional Tuscan dining experience and was not disappointed. Lamberto greeted us with such warmth and kindness. A perfect and most attentive host. The restaurant had a truly happy, relaxed and authentic Italian atmosphere. The local produce was prepared with love to deliver guests with... More

The mushroom with truffle dish is to die for and the veal is second to none. Be sure to order the... More

We were there last Wednesday and it was one of the best restaurants during our 2 week trip. I ate from the seasonal menu - unusual pecorino ravioli and walnuts with wild boar sausages as a second. Good inexpensive wine list with many regional choices. The interior is quite lovely. Highly recommended. More
