Lucca’s Trattoria: Serving Authentic Tuscan Cuisine

Now open at Robertson Walk, Lucca’s Trattoria serves simple and authentic Tuscan cuisine. The 70-seater restaurant, which exudes a warm and rustic vibe, prides itself in infusing Cucina alla casalinga (a home-cooked feeling) in its dishes. Start off with the Ribollita ($6++), which means reboiled in Italian. This Tuscan staple - filled with cannellini beans, vegetables, kale, bread and beef - is a comforting soup that you’ll crave for on a rainy day.

Coated in a black pepper, bacon and mushroom gravy, the Chicken Milanese ($25++) is delightfully sinful. The crisp crust and tender meat go well with the accompanying fries and rucola. If you’re up for a slightly sweet pizza, try the signature Pollo E Uva ($18++/$23++, pictured). Chicken slices are scattered across the pizza, alongside juicy seedless grapes and crunchy toasted pine nuts. The crust of the pizza is slightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. If you prefer pasta, slice apart the handmade Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli ($23++) and savour the rich creaminess of the mortadella and mushroom sauce.

For dessert, dig into Lucca’s Tiramisu ($10++, pictured), a decadent treat that melts in your mouth. If you love gelato, you won’t go wrong with their Pistacho Gelato ($7.70++, $9.10++), which is freshly made instore.
