Great food decently priced, staff is young, very friendly and efficient! We were seated in their wonderful garden where you are not disturbed by any traffic on the road close by. Nice lounge! If you want something else then the obligatory menu you find in most restaurants: go there!!! We will certainly be back!!! For youngsters: their Thursday evening is amazing!! All young people nicely dressed; you think that you are in a fancy place in Milano and yet it is Altopascio!!!!! A real jewel!!!

I dined here about a year ago and the food was very good. We were three very disappointed people. The restaurant was packed which probably accounted for the overcooked, badly presented food. Our starters were tired and appeared to have been prepared well in advance and lacked freshness My Tuna was overcooked and under seasoned. Potatoes were wet and tasteless as was my spinach. As for the grilled sea food it was overcooked and extremely bitter.The service was very amateurish, with dishes, you hadn't ordered being put down before you and then taken away a few minutes later when they realised their mistake.I cannot understand why a restaurant which specialises in fish dishes cannot be bothered to have sufficient white wine chilled, something that has occurred on my previous visitsSadly I would not risk going back and I feel that this restaurant has lost it's edge.

Found this little gem based on great reviews here and it was truly amazing. By far the best meal we have had in Tuscany! The Service, the food and the scenery made it an absolute perfect meal.Their Insalata de frutti di mare is a must along with any of their pasta dishes.

We live on the next door hill, and have been bringing friends (of all nations) here for a few years now. Without exception they have been wowed by the blend of Tuscan basics and Japanese subtlety. Not everything is to everyone's taste. But it is all so interesting and so unusual, and we keep coming back. The highlight last night was the green risotto with raw red prawns; and the tempura of vegetables and fish, followed by ravioli stuffed with ricotta and Parmesan with scallops in a white wine sauce. Also the beef tartare with a black oyster and garlic sauce. Everyone should try this place at least once. Not cheap, but anywhere else this would have rosettes and cost you twice as much

We visit Tuscany and Lucchesia on a yearly basis and returned to Ristorante Forino in October. We were reminded of the simple elegance of their cuisine and cordial service. They really set the standard in our opinion. The "warm seafood appetizers" were delicious, as were the seafood pastas and the lightest frittura di pesce ever. Every course was delectable and I understood anew why my relatives regard this place as the best fish restaurant in the region. How it is possible for the service to barely surpass the exquisite cuisine is a testimonial. Forino is not just in a class by itself in Lucchesia. It is world class. By the way the atmosphere is very pleasant as well.

Two weeks ago I visted Ristorante Forassiepi together with a family member. I did write a review, but based on communication with the upset chef I deleted it and will by this rewrite my comments on the visit.I have lived more than 60 years by the Noth Sea, so fish and other âseafoodâ are well known. Due to different reasons I have cooked in the kitchen for more than 50 years but I do not call myself a chef, yet. The last 6 weeks, and two more to come, I have enjoyed learning more about the Italian kitchen so I am better prepared to invite neighbours, friend, family or other visitors that would like to dine with us in Montecarlo.I am also pleased to see I have catched up with 100.000 readers on my reviews on Tripadviser that I hope read my reviews as I read others. To find good or challenges with restaurants I like to vist when I am in a particular area.So back to Ristorante Forassiepi. Over the 17 years visiting Lucca and the area this was my third visit the Ristorante Forassiepi. Previous I have been reasonable pleased even it is 5 years since last time.I was very pleased, even we were prepared to come back. The person who took my reservation noted wrong day. Just the way I want it. See a table empty for 3 hours instead of have other people dine in between is waste. We wanted to check out their menu and taste the food. So two hours for us should be more than enough, normally. I poped into the chef just briefly before we were seated. The restaurant is obvius a place for fine dining. The clients this evening also indicated this.The menu is interesting and we appreciated the introduction soup, nice presentation and very good tast. For starter I had choose Octopus. I very often do that when I see it because I just love it. And this was prefect cooked, just delicious. Primi was our first disappointment. Both of us had risotto and it was not cooked enough. The plating was not as you expect a first class restaurant and the tast from what should be a marinated salmon disappear. I had picked Scampi (Nephrops norvegicus). Taste ok, noted is that you can choose from fruit or vegetables along with the scampi. I had fruit, so dolce along with my second and it lifted the dish completeness. However, again I was very disappointed with the presentation. I eat a lot with my eyes so I have different expectations depend on what kind of restaurants I visit.Second, disappointment of the day was when my family member ordered Lobster. As mentioned, lived by the sea expectation of a European Lobster when Lobster is put on the menu is there, so if any would like lobster at Ristorante Forassiepi, ask what kind of lobster are on the menu this day. Looking at their video on Facebook lobster is European Lobster present, but that was not what was given us. In general service is good. Based on the high priced menu it is easy to see they spend a part of that with having staff available, both in the kitchen and the front. Chef Antonio Pirozzi, has his 35 years pluss in business, but as years goes it is not as easy to watch all and keep a hand on everything. That we did not turn any dish back to the kitchen, sorry about that, just not something we do. I rather tell the story what kind of experience I have and leave it with that. This time was a âcosi..cosiâ experience, hope to visit again and that it will be better. White wine from Enzo Carmangiani was good and was a good match to our dishes.

We had dinner here tonight and it was delicious. As we arrived there were people standing out side on the terrace. It felt more friendly and local than touristy. The service was friendly and open - and the host (owner?) speaks english. We stupidly forgot to ask his name. The food was simply divine. We had two pasta primo - green ravioli with ricotta and a seafood carbonari. For secondi I had a tuna in a Japanese style and my brother had beef. The tuna was delicious with a flavour I wasn't expecting and the beef was melt in your mouth perfect, tender and flavourful. My sister had the fish and chips and they were happy to do it grilled for her.There was a family group of 22 plus another group of maybe 8, and a few smaller tables like ours and they seemed to do very well bringing out food for the whole table at the same time. Because of the large group the service was a little slow, particularly to get our bill, but we totally understand the challenge of such a large group and agreed that they handled it very well. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and want a delicious meal, reasonable price and friendly, tasteful atmosphere.

During two weeks in the Montecarlo area we had a good number of restaurant meals and this was the most disappointing. There is an attempt to give the tradditional lucchese cuisine a modern twist but, as my coffee flavoured risotto attests, this doesn't always work. The 85 euro bill for two was way too expensive.
