Gluten-free focaccia and desserts that are really good. Unfortunately, there isn't much attention to contamination; they heat the focaccia in a separate oven, but since the kitchen is open, I saw the 'cook' cutting my gluten-free focaccia in half with the same knife (NOT CLEAN!) that had just cut my companion's regular focaccia. I didn't feel bad and the focaccia was really good, but still, something like this... is not right.

We had a great time and the ingredients were good, reasonable price (32€ for two with coffee and water). Additional information: - the only gluten-free base option is the focaccia (no pizzas and covaccini) and they are pre-packaged; - compared to the menu prices, the gluten-free base has an additional charge of 2€; - when ordering the gluten-free option, two small focaccini are served, but they are equivalent in quantity to one focaccia with gluten.

Contrary to many reviews I've read, I had a great experience. It's true that the focaccia is not homemade but packaged; however, it is still very good, especially thanks to the quality ingredients they use to fill it. They also have gluten-free desserts; I had the berry cheesecake, and it was excellent. Super approved and suitable for a quick lunch without spending too much (we spent about 18 euros each for focaccia, drink, dessert, and coffee).

I called the restaurant and they said the food might be contaminated, so it's not suitable for celiacs.

We went because there is gluten free on offer. That limits one's choices. We arrived and were told there would be a five minute wait. That wait ended up over half an hour. The gluten free focaccia seemed to be premade and from a packet. But it was gluten free. They didn't advertise that they made their own dough. Can't complain. Good artisan beers. Staff were friendly. Ambience was fine if you like a busy canteen. Price was fair for the experience. If you need a light gluten free meal in the centre of Lucca then try it.

The first focaccia I have ever eaten and really tasty! I ordered the gluten free option and it was amazing 😌 Crunchy, with sauce and enough for a dinner!

All focaccias and pizzas can be made gluten-free. Gluten-free focaccias are bought, but with good quality ingredients. Many desserts can also be made gluten-free. In the photo, cheesecake and rice cake from Massese.

The flavour combination of no. 71 is nice. However, the gluten-free dough overall is dry and has an uneven consistency throughout. Some parts of it are very tough and barely chewable. Wish there was more burrata to help with the dryness. We have had much better GF pizzas in other Italian towns and will not return to this focacceria. Price: €13 for takeaway.

Wow! Great place for outdoor or indoor dining. Gluten-free pizza and beer, or plenty of wine if you prefer. And after your meal you can have some gluten-free desert. Exceptionally friendly staff and service. Large portions and many options. I chose one of their historical pizzas, and my wife had a focaccia sandwich. Don't pass this place up... if you're cruising, Lucca is under 40 minutes by rental car with plenty of parking. Don't miss out on this ancient walled city and its delights... if you liked this review, please give it a thumbs up.
