What happens when your favourite grotto is fully booked?Together with 3 colleagues we planned a dinner around Lugano, but the restaurant we decided for was already fully booked.Gladly, among us, somebody heard good things about an interesting grotto located in Capolago. What a pleasant surprise!The restaurant is a typical old Grotto, with renovated interiors and a cozy veranda lying under old beautiful trees. The owner is an experienced cook (having worked at Grotto della Salute in Massagno) and an attentive host.Hangin by the entrance is the menu on a chalk board with prices, but the chef will tell you anything about the food, together with specialities of the day.Our group ordered a starter (if you order the main course they will suggest you a half portion): somebody picked up freshly made pastas while others delicious meat tortellis followed by guinea fowl, grilled tuna (a big chunk of it) and liver. The dessertsA fascinating setting

I recently spent a week over the New Year. Staying in the villa next to this restaurant. Although we had a number of different places during our stay this was by far the most superior. Had the pleasure of spending New Year's Eve and was made so welcome by the staff.

Family dinner. The appetizers (mixed platter) were reasonably good, and the baby artichokes in olive oil, despite being 'bought in' and not home product, were good. The pizzas were an insult to pizzas. A seafood pizza was layered with stale bread (to absorb water from the seafood since it had obviously just been defrosted) and was simply disgusting (we told them so). Another pizza was just wrong (onion pizza for a small girl....)....three out of six pizzas were either inedible or simply inappropriate. The mother of the owner was apologetic, the owner simply could not care. Interesting dynamic. Sure, view of the lake is great. Maybe just run a coffee bar instead of a restaurant? That you need to cross the road in the dark for the restroom, sidestepping locals car-racing at 100 km an hour through the middle of the restaurant, is a very Italian delight that might be hard to appreciate for your average non-auto mad Northern European......maybe it'll take the first diner to be killed to have a toilet on the same side of the road as the restaurant. To top it off, countryside plonk (a.k.a. red wine) priced like decent wine......no, really not. Even if you are desperate.

This is the most intimate and romantic restaurant I've been to in a long time. The menu is totally in Italian and the waiters have the most rudimentary command of English. Here though, the food does the talking.Somehow, the chef seems to have been taken by foie gras. An entire page of the menu is dedicated to duckâs liver dishes and it features on quite a few of the main courses. Foie gras is of course utterly sublime and the fillet steak topped with pan fried foie gras was out of this world.My wife and I were totally blown away. If I could, I would dine here every day of the year.good morningmany thanks for your visite in our ristorante.we are very happy that you will enjoyed.best regards Bernard Fournier

My family and I went for Easter to cantinetta caprese as i suggested we could enjoy some tasty food all together.We have been several times before and it was always very good.The place has a big room inside and an outdoor terrace which is great during the summer.We ordered some mussels as appetizer (they were plump and sauce lovely) and octopus with potatoes (good), then as mains we took lamb (as it was on the daily menu, good but a bit dry, i expected more), some pasta (amazing but slightly too much al dente) and a fish (very good). We took some dessers which were good but did not blow me away this time except for the caprese which is always tasty and soft.Overall a wonderful meal even though for the price we paid (very high) I would have expected more especially from the lamb.Service was friendly and the atmosphere nice too.

Somewhat out of the way, however worth the effort. Recent lunch was excellent. Bruschetta with tomato and basil and stuffed zucchini flowers were spectacular. Risotto ai funghi was classic and one of the best I have had. Try the Turriga red wine from Sardinia-also excellent.The restaurant overlooks Lake Lugano and has a small number of outside tables. Inside the tables are typical family style. Excellent parking, which is rare in this area. Overall a wonderful experience.

What a gem of a restaurant situated right next to lake lugano overlooking the picturesque Morcote. All we needed was the motorboat to arrive in (as several others did). Curtains gently blowing in the breeze made it feel cool and pleasant. Great choice of pizza, pasta, fish and meat. The spaghetti alle vongole was amazing. We will eat there 3 times in our weeks holiday.
