We went to this restaurant which is well situated on a square near the lake. Unfortunately the service was unfriendly, and both our table and then the table next to ours, were overcharged.When hearing us complain about the overcharging, the neighbouring table checked thier bill and found the same thing happened to them...This on top of the fact that despite...

We ate at this place two nights in a row mostly because the first night we had such an outstanding server. He was friendly, fun, anticipated our needs. The food was very good, prices reasonable and sitting out cafe style at night was nice. The second night we didn't get the same waiter and it was not the same. He... More

We ended up at this place completely by chance on a Saturday night. The outside area was full and lively but we preferred to sit inside and have a more intimate and quiet experience. It took a while until we were offered menus, the same to ask what we wanted to drink. The minestrone we ordered as a first course... More

The management is especially rude, humiliating non Italian customers as if it were some fun sport. The food is overpriced, while leaving the taste palette underwhelmed, the pizzas are mostly crust with few toppings, while the risotto, and pasta rival college student level. The restaurant is dirty, and furthermore with the bird flying around inside unsanitary. If you enjoy bird... More

The personnel was not very nice, not welcoming at all, the food was not very good, not even the very expensive, very special pizza's. They served us the starters, took the plates away and then nothing happened for a very long time. A waiter came to see whether we were still waiting for the starters, we explained that we were...

Servings were very larged and not one of the 4 of us could finish theirs. Carbonara very nice but so rich and large. Pizzas were huge, nice but too large. Better to reduce the prices than serve too much.

Had 2 luches and a dinner sitting outdoors on a heated, covered terrace. Right in the centre of the city and a great place to see everything that was going on. Lunchtime pizzas were a revelation - you'll never eat an English pizza again! Dinner generous portions of hearty food served by cheerful and friendly staff

We stumbled on this place while walking around town so I did not have a chance to read about the restaurant on my blackberry until we had been seated. And I guess we were lucky in that we really had a nice lunch! The service was outstanding....turning on the heaters lowering shades to keep out the wind! We ordered the... More

We arrived late in Lugano and fell into this restaurant - lots of people sitting outside and the buzzy atmosphere lured us in. I wonder if there is a cartel that sets the price of the pizzas in Lugano??? The pizzas we had were very good, I have to say, that was the only redeeming feature. Wine was exorbitant for... More
