"Whilst holidaying in Barga for the last week in July we ate out every evening and this restaurant was the most expensive and the worst meal by far , even my Italian friends from Barga said the food was awful !!!! , the Black Angus Beef was tasteless and the portion was small , the carbonara was also tasteless and the Pasta was thick and rubbery not al dente , but rubbery , we have visited Barga a few times and will return there again but this Restaurant is DEFO off the list of places to eat"

"Unfortunately, our experience here was quite disappointing. Having travelled extensively, I've encountered many tourist traps, but this place stands out for all the wrong reasons. The service was extremely rude. When we had a few questions about the menu, the staff seemed annoyed and unhelpful, making it difficult for us to understand. We decided to just have a drink and leave, but the owner confronted us with a very angry tone, insisting on an additional tourist fee. His lack of decorum and manners was striking, and it left both me and my family with a bad taste. The staff and owner could definitely benefit from improving their hospitality skills."

"Polystyrene plates, plastic knives and forks. Okay, so maybe it is so good it doesn’t matter. But... no... food came up and all 4 meals delivered equally as dreadful. Anemic looking fish and chips. A burger with a pepper on the menu (ground black pepper!!! in a very black burnt bun. And most amazingly a chicken burger with salad which was a reformed chicken meat of some form moulded into a beige pattie. Like no ‘chicken’ I’ve ever seen... but apparently due to them griddling! Unsurprised staff at our response to food and offered to change meal but to be honest nothing was appetising so wasn’t an option. We left chicken as just too bad and ate some burger and some chicken. We paid but honestly laughed at just how bad and will be very memorable for all the wrong reasons for a very long time. Avoid at all costs!"

"At a time when most « eateries » can’t call them restautants) are serving the same menu everywhere charcuterie platters, pinse, tartare steak , tacos, and so forth, Booooring) this is a real restaurant. There are a couple of other good ones in Barga one serving traditional Tuscan dishes which are excellent, and another specializing in fish, while Scacciaguai has wisely chosen to have more sophisticated dishes, and it was refreshing. Kudos to the young owners. The ambiance is pleasant and intimate, the service is smiling and friendly. Riccardo is extremely competent with the wines. They have an extensive wine list, focusing on Tuscan wines and even more on the local ones from Lucca province. Prices range from 11 Euros to well over 100 for some of the Tuscan reds so there is something for everyone. We chose a nice Poggio dei Paoli from Tenuta Lenzi at 22 Euros and it was perfect. Food: Both Porcini and Truffles from the Garfagnana have arrived, and I love both. I started out with the best way to eat truffles: two fried eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked the white firm and the yolk pleasantly runny. The truffle shavings on top were just right. My friend opted for potato gnocchi filled with sheep ricotta with sauteed grape tomatoes. We followed that with guinea fowl breast cooked sous vide and roast friggitelli peppers. Finished off with a chocolate soufflee filled with melted chocolate. A digestif was offered on the house. A really lovely experience. well worth going back The price was right too of course it wasn’t cheap, but the food wasn’t either: Excellent quality ingredients, Excellent chef. Bravo!"

"Lascio subito la mia impressione di massima che è sufficiente ma non di più. Non ho trovato nulla di così speciale da potermi far venire voglia di tornare. Personale assolutamente gentile. L'antipasto della casa mi è piaciuto soprattutto per i salumi ed il formaggio, i crostini non li ho trovati così speciali ma sufficientemente buoni. La tagliata coi funghi porcini buona ma è arrivata tiepida e alla fine era fredda. Vino della casa più che accettabile. Se dovessi tornare spero di trovare qualcosa di più."
