We were walking randomly in the streets, trying to avoid the hundreds of tourists having dinner in downtown... In a little street, we found this very charming restaurant. Food was excellent (Tuna Steak -perfectly prepared- and Red-Eye Beef, about CHF approx. 40.- each). Wines and desserts were great too. Service was perfect and prices are completely normal for Switzerland (in... More

We stayed at apartments across the way from here and ate here both nights - the first night was for convenience as we stumbled upon it. The second night, we came back and had one of the best meals of our holiday. Lovely setting with tables on the quiet cobbled streets of the upper central area in Lugano - very... More

The caponata appetizer was superb. The steak tartare was a larger portion than I expected and excellent. The owner was very helpful and efficient. He even recommended a restaurant in our next destination. Wine by the glass excellent. Atmosphere is cozy with two rooms, each with a different tone. Located in downtown, easy walking distance from our hotel.

We ate at Trani restaurant on April 5 2011. The restaurant looked very nice and had a nice atmosphere. Menu's could be provided in English, German, French and of course Italian. Service was adequate. My boyfriend had the "Meat Menu" (strange that they cut your meat up for you - probably can serve you less that way) I had the... More

Nice restaurant, although quality of food reminded me more of a nice dinner at home with friends rather than of a restaura nt dinner prepared by a professional cook

We went twice to Trani last month during our trip in europe. This place is amazing and really characteristic. The service was really good and every dish very tasty. Especially they offer the best fondue I have ever eaten. They have also really good desserts. Excellent.
