Antica Drogheria

What Antica Drogheria does

Antica Drogheria is a privately held restaurant and pizzeria founded in 1895 in Lucca, Italy, operating from a single historic venue at Via Elisa 5/7 that was originally converted from the horse stables of Villa Bottini. The establishment serves traditional Lucchese and Tuscan cuisine prepared in-house, including handmade fresh pasta, tortelli, tagliata di manzo, zuppa frantoiana, and regional cured meats, alongside wood-fired-oven pizzas and a curated selection of Lucchese, Tuscan, and Italian wines (DOC, DOCG, IGT). Core technology is rooted in traditional culinary craft methods rather than proprietary software or AI; the website serves as a marketing and information layer rather than a transactional platform. The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model via three revenue streams: dine-in table service, takeaway pickup, and delivery through third-party platforms Glovo, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats. The company employs approximately 8 people and reports no external investors, parent entities, or funding activity. Its primary customer segments are local Lucca residents seeking traditional cuisine and tourists visiting the city, with secondary reach into diners requiring gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan options. The establishment is currently operating with regular hours six days per week and is closed on Tuesdays.
