You did have a meal there... I remember posting a comment:

I wish I were in Lucca now... it was there, back in the early '80s or
so, that I first tasted capretto (kid, skewered, I think) at the famous
Buca di Sant'Antonio, which is still there, it seems. Sometimes I am
surprised at the clarity of my own remembrance of foods past - I still
distinctly recollect that the meat was a bit overcooked and rather
fatty, yet I liked it well enough, probably just because it was
capretto! In Lucca! Ah!
