The translation of I Macelli is The Slaughterhouses. I am guessing that the site of this excellent restaurant was once an abattoir. The bright yellow building sits beside a little stream behind the main commercial area of Borgo a Mozzano, the village near the Ponte della Maddalena.
The restaurant is one of our favourite places to dine, with good reason. The food is very good, the setting pleasant and the service is friendly and efficient.
To get there, drive down the one way street in the centre of Borgo a Mozzano and turn left at the sign for the restaurant.
I look forward to many delicious meals at I Macelli when I return to Bagni di Lucca very soon.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Another great find Deb….food looks very good.
It is good. We are spoiled for choice in Bagni di Lucca.
One of our all time favourites – can’t wait to go again
I will be back in under 2 weeks…can’t wait.
Sounds and looks delicious. Thanks, Deb!
…another one to add to the list.
I would love to visit there on my next return. It looks and sounds wonderful.
It is very good, and always busy, which is a good sign.
The food is excellent, as is the service.
A visit together perhaps?
I look forward to it!
What was the torta? Looks so delicious! Thanks Deb.
We went last year. It was very good.
Looks wonderful!
Just looking at those photos makes me hungry, it is a good thing it is almost lunchtime. Have a safe trip back, I’m sure you are anxious to return.
