Gifu, Japan｜LA LUCANDA

We visited our friends in Gifu and they were gracious to treat us to this wonderful gem of a restaurant. The atmosphere is creative, cozy and welcoming - so it's easy to fall into long conversations as the meals are distributed in a timely manner. It started with a colorful selection of ingredients plated in a beautiful way so you get excited for the meals to come. I can spend the next few paragraphs going on about the food , ambiance and even the server and the chef - but it will be better for anyone to give this place a visit to blow you away. We hope to be back soon!

Lived here 12 years, Lucanda it's so far the best Italian restaurant in central Japan, atmosphere, friendliness, food: perfect ! Bravo Luca !

Last time I came here, it was very crowded, so I thought I would need a reservation, so I made one the day before. I ordered a full course lunch. Each dish is very delicious, and the atmosphere is conducive to leisurely conversations. I would like to come at night next time.
