Tomkat

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Table Worth Seeking in Lucca

Tomkat sits at Via Calderia 12, inside the historic walls of Lucca, one of Tuscany's most beautifully preserved medieval cities. The restaurant has earned a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2025 — a distinction that places it among a select group of dining rooms worldwide recognized for the depth and curation of their wine offering.

Italian and European Cuisine, Seriously Considered

That level of wine recognition rarely exists in isolation. At Tomkat, the cellar is clearly built to match a kitchen that takes Italian and European cuisine seriously. Lucca's own culinary traditions — rooted in olive oil, legumes, and locally grown produce — provide a natural foundation, and a restaurant earning this kind of international attention is one where the pairing of food and wine is treated as a craft rather than an afterthought.

Worth a Visit

For anyone traveling through Tuscany, Lucca alone is reason enough to stop. Tomkat, recognized by one of the most rigorous wine guides in the world, gives you a compelling reason to sit down and stay a while. Reservations are available online.
