“ 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. ”

If you find yourself visiting Lugano, this is a must check experience ”
“ 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! ”
“ Great restaurant. The menu convinces with creative, playful dishes that are very well prepared and very nicely presented. The quality was convincing. The price/performance niveau was more than fair. The service was warm and friendly. The atmosphere was rather rustic, but with a cosy, Tuscan charm. Definitely back on the to-do list for my next visit to Lugano! ”
“ 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! ”
