"Nice food , people and atmosphere we had when we arrived at Lugano the first day. We really enjoyed them!"
"A very pleasant experience. Delicious pastas with fresh ingredients. Lovely outdoor area and very friendly service."
"A wonderful place, excellent authentic Tuscan food with a great Tuscan wine selection. A bit hidden away but well worth the search. Very nice, friendly and competent staff, really really enjoyabe. I should not recommend it and keep it to myself ….. but really then, sharing is always better. I’ll be back, bring friends along and enjoy a fine evening with fine food and wine. Thank you."
"I’ll give it 4 stars because I’ve loved the food and the authentic atmosphere, but i believe there is some improvement that can be done in the service (basilar expectations: knowing the name of the dishes and the ingredients served). However they are excused since they opened just this week and I want to go back to give a second chance :) We tried the degustation menu, absolutely to try! 5 courses menu included with Wine. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The wine selection was also something amazing! Team, keep up the good work, we will back soon!"
"Excellent food in a cozy place! This new restaurant is Lugano is one of the best places we ate. The service is also very good! I had the lamb chops which were the best I ever had. My wife had home made pasta with home made tomato juice which was delicious."
"My husband and I came here for dinner last week and had an absolutely wonderful meal! The bread was so fresh and tasty and it came with a delightful orange zest butter. We were also given a tasty little appetizer as a bonus. My husband and I both ordered the grilled sirloin beef with pecorino sauce and it was so lean and juicy! I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! The rosemary potatoes that came on the side were well seasoned and delicious as well! We ended the night with the fun and unique pisamisu for dessert. It was one of the best meals of our trip and I would definitely recommend making a reservation to go here!"
"They create such a nice combination of traditional and original dishes and everything is made by them. It's a family owned business, so hearing their stories is very interesting and you can tell that everything they do is made with love. If you find yourself visiting Lugano, this is a must check experience"
"Nice combination of traditional and original dishes. Wanted to try soup, but had to limit myself to pigeon and desert. Was there with my colleague, will come back with a family. Very pleasantly surprised by high quality kids menu with great choice."
