We were so looking forward to having some wine and dinner here. We had a wonderful day on the lake and were hungry and hot and dinner here was high on our list. Unfortunately, we left almost angry, frustrated and very disappointed.
Food: Dinner was amazing, the food excellent, the portions large and food comes out beautifully presented. We had the pasta with seafood, outstanding, the bruschetta, good and the fish carpaccio, very good. The wine selection was excellent and we let our waiter make our selections. The food in the reason they get 2 stars.
Ambiance: Outside, surrounded by grape vines, cool on a hot afternoon, with a traditional European charm. However, the tables are really, really close together, we had three folks next to us that were loud, we could barely hear ourselves. The waiter could not reach us without bending over the next table. We were squeezed between grape leaves, yes they were continually rubbing against my head and face, and the loud table. We were quickly loosing patience.
Service: Probably one of the worst services we have had. We arrived early and everything was good to start with. We ordered drinks and pasta for our daughter who was hungry. Everyone was happy. Then chaos ensued:
1) Three folks who seemed to be "preferred" locals arrived and we never saw our waiter all night. It seemed that every person in the restaurant visited them to chat, but not once did they tend to us. After all why care about the tourist!
2) Water or drinks were never refilled.
3) For its claim of vegetarian friendly, we found this completely lacking. They had one pasta with tomato sauce or the cheese plate on the menu.
4) My wife liked the bruschetta, and asked for the speck to be substituted for cheese. Easy right? They came back with plain bread topped with tomato, and the cheese plate. The waiter "rudely" informed us this is what they do. They expected us to pay for both although we did not ask for it.
We left disappointed and angry. We walked over to another place close by for drinks and dessert. I cannot in all fairness recommend this restaurant.

Enjoyed a fantastic dinner with friends including: a super-fresh fish 'crudo' platter served with fruit and citrus flavours; perfect al dente pasta with porcini ragu; pan fried branzino served with seasonal vegetables and black olive coulis; pistachio tiramisu with seasonal berries and crunchy meringue. All dishes were inventive, tasty, and served with the utmost of care. We've been here before, we will definitely come again.

I ate here this past weekend and found the food quite good. Most of the fare on the menu is typical local cuisine (with northern Italian influence) which is simple in preparation but tasty and filling. The restaurant's atmosphere is not pretentious by any means and it appears to be run by the owners, an old couple, who are quite attentive. If you are looking for flash, glitz or Michelin star cooking, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a nice, quiet place where you can enjoy excellent cucina Ticinese (Ticino cooking) with some locals this is the place for you. If you do happen to go in late August / early September, ask the owners if they have funghi freschi on the menu. This typically means fresh porcini which are in season around this time of the year. If they do, I highly recommend the "funghi con polenta" (garlic and parsley stir fried porcini with cornmeal on the side), this is a traditional local dish which will not disappoint!

Restaurant Gallery Arté is the only 1 Michelin Starred Restaurant in Lugano. A theme restaurant inside an art gallery, it offers a magnificent and unique view over the gulf of Lugano as well as a dainty cuisine. Signature dishes of our Executive Chef Frank Oerthle are entirely new and original. The menu stands out for Sweetwater and sea food specialties.

Excellent option for a nice dinner, very sober decor and refined attention. The food is very well prepared and the platters are served with a touch of elegance. Must stop for gourmet food in Lugano

Right in the heart of Lugano, the Grand Café Al Porto Restaurant delight its guests at any time of day. A great day begins at the Grand Café with an aromatic "espresso", a nice breakfast or a delight from the Confiserie Al Porto. At lunchtime be tempted by the "Flavours of the month", the daily changing "Chef's specials", and from 2.30 p.m. onward by a special afternoon menu. All day long a great selection of sweet or savoury creations from the "Confiserie Al Porto" counter. The Ristorante is open from Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. until 6.30 p.m. It can be reserved in the evening for receptions and banquets for 10 to 80 persons. All day long a great selection of sweet or savoury creations from the "Confiserie Al Porto" counter. Lugano's salon... since 1803.

A few steps away from Lugano a real, traditional, local grotto inside the green forest.Grotto Morchino at Pazzallo.The Grotto Morchino is a typical local restaurant, it has a cozy room inside with an open fire place and outside a cool, covered Terrace. In all these years it has becoming an absolutely must to share the easy barbecue ambience in summer time.

The location is peaceful and perfect for a summer lunch - the food is amazing, top quality. The cheese and ham platters, and then some tasty pork cheeks, very soft and tender and tasteful meat, accompanied by potatoes and mushroom. Polenta and gorgonzola cheese - a traditional dish. And then a lovely tiramisú. Will definitely go back.

The restaurant is situated in a quiet alley, without any speccial views. The menu is interesting including many choices of tartar dishes, both fish and beef. The Tuna tartar is excellent. I had also home-made gnocchi with green peas sauce, that I did not lie very much.

To say the truth, we've only heard a lot of good things about this pizzeria but have never tried it out and preferred always to go to Italy ("Cardamomo", Como) instead. We had few pizza experiences in Lugano but they were so disappointing, that's it's not worth mentioning.... Well, I don't regret we finally went there! It was sort of a surprise to find out that actually pizza is really good! It's the thinnest (my favorite) type ever and the ingredients are top notch. They rob you on beers (8.-fr) and water (5.-fr for a tiny bottle), but it's definitely worth a try as the service is efficient, the location is wonderful and pizza prices are almost like in Italy (they have two sizes and the big size is enough for two people to share if you are not super hungry). I think that the whole experience was rather pleasant.
