Back to my favorite place in Lucca

September 13th - Lucca
Osteria Tripperia Vineria
Bastian oirartno Via S Paolino 69

This place may not be for everyone but I liked it.  A little off the beaten path, but with interesting menu items.  How can you pass up a place with a bowl of porcini and a bowl of black truffles sitting in front next to the menu.

This time again for lunch and I had to order the Trippa and Linda ordered the tagletelli al pesto.  Both dishes were great.  Linda even ate her's without breaking the waiters arm for more parmesano.  A great lunch. After lunch gelatto.

This place has the best foccaica from the bakery just down the street.  It was the best bread that we have had in Italy.  Maybe it's because it had salt on it.  The Tuscan's have a tradition of not using salt in their bread.  I think partially because salt use to be taxed and partially because the salumi has so much salt in it that you don't need salt.  It was fantastic foccaica
