Antonio ", (" Buca "in ancient Tuscan is equivalent to" Taverna "," Osteria "), but the fact that in 1782 it was still referred to as "Osteria a S. Antonio" (ie near S.

Poggio, then from 1406 to 1610. During the nineteenth century, when the Horse Post Station was installed in the clearing created following demolitions between the Piazzetta dei Cocomeri and the Corte Campana, we still find the "Buca" not only as an inn, but also as a garage and stabling . After the suppression of the post office and up to the present day, the "Buca" has continued to operate and, thanks to the careful management of the owners Franco Barbieri and Giuliano Pacini, it has remained one of the most characteristic places in Lucca. Dishes like spelled soup have captured famous people: Giacomo Puccini, Ezra Pound, Mario Pannunzio, King Gustav of Sweden, Margareth Princess of England, Indro Montanelli and others.
