I was looking for a restaurant with good food, decent wine and a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant has a limited menu but extensive wine selection. The food is excellent and the wait staff will suggest wine with your meal if you don't know what to select. The clientele wore everything from jeans to fur coats so don't be put off... More

Good food, described to you by waiters. List is on a whiteboard. Sometimes there are no vegetarian options at all. But meat dishes are excellent. Steak tartar is very good. Extensive wine selection with some good wines by the glass too. The somelier always has good suggestions. Twice I changed my selection based on his recommendation and I was satisfied... More

We came here to have lunch one day and we liked it so much we decided to bring the whole family here to celebrate my husband's birthday! The restaurant is small and sits at a corner of a central street so it is conveniently located but not in the middle of chaos. It has a nice terrace under the trees... More

A wonderful restaurant in the city center. An extensive wine list with a limited but thoughtful menu makes the small restaurant a go to place. Very attentive and knowledgable wait staff makes for terrific dining experience. Very popular with locals and discerning travellers who are interested in fine dining in a cozy relaxed setting.

Always packed restaurant in Lugano, they have the best wine list you can find in Lugano. Food is not bad at all, beef tartare is quite good and not expensive.

Limited menu--not a problem. Special menu of the day is really wonderful. Service is excellent. All staff know their wines especially Rudolfo. Would not miss going for lunch or dinner if you are visiting Lugano. Reserve in advance, best thru your hotel. Genuine, delicious, sophisticated, and local clientele.

This is clearly a favorite of the locals and it is easy to see why. The food is delicious. The chef prepares a short menu selection and covers enough variety to please most palates. The pasta with rabbit ragu was wonderful as was the ravioli. This is an easy walk from most places in the downtown area of Lugano.
