Located in the old town just off the square Dante Center, this classic Italian salumari has fresh sandwiches, pizza, rolls and other scrumptious items for a nice packed lunch that you can enjoy by the lake on a bench. The choices in cured and air dried meats as well as olives, artichokes, mushrooms etc are mind boggling. There are also... More

Breakfast room very nice and lovely decorated, however they could pay a little bit more attention to details, such as filling up the breadbasket, refill... More

Great coffee and pastries, quick service. Nice if you like people watching as its a main thoroughfare with the pavement close to your table.

Excellent cuisine, very high quality. But place is definitely not as one would expect in the southern part of Switzerland. Perfect on a rainy day.

Such a shame as the restaurant looks inviting and after viewing the small menu we decided to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the hot Lugano weather. They serve a business lunch consisting of a bottle of water, salad, risotto or ravioli plus coffee for 27CHF per person. The salad included a good variety of greens, flowers, tiny tomatoes....very...

We liked the look of the place so booked for dinner. We ate well and the service was good (but some other diners might have preferred it to be a bit quicker). The atmoshere was proved by the expansive owner who appeared be entertaining a number of friends at the table next door and having a great time.

This is a cozy spot for a coffee and a pastry. Also delightful to bring in a Gabani sandwich for a lunch with coffee and a sweet. Friendly staff.
