In Lucca’s historic center
Your wedding in Lucca, the celebration at Tomkat
Rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, or a toast after the wedding: we’ll open the wine bar exclusively for you, with nearly 200 labels and simple, authentic cuisine. Within walking distance of all the hotels inside the city walls.
The right place for the night before
Couples come to Lucca with family and friends from all over the world, and a villa is perfect for the wedding day itself. But the night before calls for something else: a casual place in the city center where everyone can get to know one another over a drink.
Tomkat was made for exactly that. We give you exclusive use of the venue, our wine list, and dishes designed for sharing — no formalities, no printed menus with your names on them, and no wedding-sized bill. For ideas on choosing the wines for the celebration, read our guide to wine for a wedding in Lucca.
Four ways to celebrate with us
Every event is tailored to you: we’ll decide on the number of guests, timing, and wines together with you or your wedding planner.
Rehearsal dinner
up to 60 seated guests
The evening before the wedding: a shared dinner, wines presented at the table, and time to talk. Exclusive use of the venue.
Welcome drinks
up to 100 standing guests
A welcome toast for guests arriving from out of town: sparkling wine, a selection of wines by the glass, and bites from our Pantry.
Tasting for guests
from €20 per person
An experience to give your guests as a gift in the days surrounding the wedding: guided tastings of Champagne, Burgundy, and great Italian wines.
Exclusive venue hire
upon request
The whole of Tomkat just for you, even on days and at times outside our usual hours: the dining room, the mezzanine, and the open wine cellar on view.
We speak English: service is available in Italian and English.
