La Sosta, near Pescaglia, is a bit of a drive from Bagni di Lucca, but is a great place for Sunday lunch.

The little restaurant is nestled into a pine forest beside a church.

There is an outdoor eating area for sunny days.

We visited on a cool autumn day and chose to sit in the cosy indoor area.

It isn’t a big room and it was soon packed.

The food is great! Porcini mushrooms and pumpkins are in season so it made sense to order some. The pasta below has pumpkin and spicy sausage…delicious.

Pumpkin risotto.

Scaloppine with porcini mushrooms.

Excellent fried vegetables.

The table next to us ordered a feast.

La Sosta is open through the week for dinner and Sunday lunch. It is in Pascoso,via Pescaglia or Fabbriche di Vallico.
