Right on the lake shore, sitting prettily in the lash greenery of Cantine di Gandria in the suburbs of Lugano. Charming and fascinating place where you can appreciate the nature and the landscape in the cool shadow of the canopied trees while savouring delicate local Merlot and delicious home made dishes. The owners, Elisabeth and Massimo Regazzoni are most welcoming and friendly, offering the bst of traditional local cuisine like minestrone, local sausages, meat and cheese, veal liver and tripes, roast with polenta, grilled meat, homemade cakes... Ottimi costini di maiale, da non perdere!

I recently went for a bday party to Pizzeria al Sole after several years. The place is conveniently located close to a bus stop, and has several parking lots in front of it. The building is very old and would need renovation, as paint was bad (at least where we were seated) and tables/paintings are not very nice looking.Staff was very friendly as was the owner though, and we really appreciated.Food was in general very generous and of decent quality (although not outstanding).Overall I would go back,since prices are honest and portions big. It is also family-friendly in case you have children.

Hostaria del Pozzo is a very cozy place with a beautiful location in Canobbio overviewing Lugano city and lake.A family (Cristian and Lena) runs this restaurant carefully and with friendly atmosphere. The food is very fresh, meat, fish and also some typical dishes from Valtellina like Pizzoccheri, Zigoiner and Sciatt! The wine list is interesting and prices are correct.Nice also for families and friends. In summer you can enjoy the terrace.Recommended!

We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and ordered the 'terroir' tasting menu featuring moist sweetbreads, a lemon/bay leaf risotto, fork-tender venison and flaky prune tart. As one would expect from a 1-star Michelin establishment, this menu was accompanied by a parade of spectacular 'entre-mets' to delight and cleanse the palate. The atmosphere is relaxed with a spectacular fireplace and the service is friendly and efficient. A memorable evening brought to us by the talented, young chef Edoardo Fumagalli. Brava!!Gentile Louise H,grazie per la sua recensione.Rendere eventi indimenticabili le occasioni speciali dei nostri clienti, è sempre motivo di grande orgoglio.Saremo lieti di riceverla ancora in altre occasioni, o per una deliziosa cena.La Locanda del Notaio

I had very good expirience with this establishment. Absolutely amaizing dinner with respect to food, its serving, service and overall atmosphere. Deliciouis food with impeccable souses, and fresh ingridiends. Portions were not too big not too small, just right. Good wine list and the wine itself was great. I would reccomend any one for an upscale dinner with not exessive spending. Well done!Dear friend,thank you very much for your review.

First, this restaurant is needlessly pretentious. Second, the two other guests at my table ordered the tasting menu. I did not like all the options on the tasting menu, so I told the waiter, that I would order the same amount of courses and if he could please pair wine as well. He agreed. That is not what happened. While I was the only female at the table, I was given one glass of wine and treated with an air of snotty contempt. The food was just ho hum. It was not creative. It was mathematical in its presentation. Safe but what you can get at a multitude of other restaurants. I will say that the view is wonderful. But for almost $700 for 3 people, save your money. It is totally not worth it. They are very sadly resting on their one michelin star.Dear Guest, We would like to thank you for taking the time and effort to write this review.We are sincerely sorry to read that you were disappointed about your experience with us and that we did not meet your expectations on this night and we would like to apologise for that. We are sincerely sorry to read that you felt treated with an air of snotty contempt. Kindly note that it was not the waiters intention to make you feel that way and that they were sincerely sorry to read, in your review, that your experienced some discomfort during your dinner with us.We will discuss your comment about the Mathematical prensentation of the food and the non creativity of it with the Chef and his staff to improve.Sincerely

We took the walk along the lake to Gandria and came upon this little cafe by the lake that was the only one open on Boxing Day. To our delight we were warmly received and had a very pleasant lunch. The food was simple but well cooked and reasonably priced.

May 9I knew this resto would be a highlight. Our only Swiss lunch at a tiny locanda owned by Davide Crobe, originally from Sardinia, who has personally made his mark in a village overshadowed by Lugano. He stopped by to greet us.As we were the first diners, we could have any table including the few on the terrazza overlooking Lake Lugano, but rain threatened. The fresh persico fillets were outstanding while my wife had the ravioli. The food was delicious but the price was dear at 64E, but this locale seemed exceptional.

We reserved a table based on reviews we had read and were not disappointed! The proprietor was very helpful with helping us understand the menu which was written in Italian. The menu options were relatively limited but there was something to please everyone's palate. Two of our group chose from some Summer changes to the menu and were pleased with their meals. I chose the nettle ravioli which was the perfect choice for a light lunch on a hot day!
