"sat with friends and with an salat and pommes a cortex. the latter not my favorite, but the meat was delicious and lightly spicy. beautiful atmosphere, fast service and average to slightly above average prices. the menu is really extensive and there is something for everyone. an interesting foundation."

"Siamo arrivati in 10 persone alle ore 16 chiedendo di mangiare, seppur la cucina fosse chiusa ci hanno accolto senza problemi, abbiamo mangiato salumi e formaggi nostrani ottimi e abbondanti, ci ha proposto anche qualche piatto caldo. Tutto perfetto, gentili e cordiali. Locale alla mano come ci si aspetta da un posto in mezzo al bosco. Grazie, torneremo appena ne avremo l'occasione."

"The Tartare Burger by La Fermata is the best burger in the world and of all time. Point. If you are pregnant and need to avoid raw meat, Smash is excellent. A hair below, but still excellent, the household hamburger. Cisunami is a senseless exaggeration to be ordered only for fun purposes. It's possible that the rest of the menu is valid, but every time I go in, I have a moral obligation to order the Tartare Burger. The chips should be taken normal (without grain and without splashes of truffle oil). Coleslaw only if you have strange feelings of guilt about fried foods. The service is ok. Some waiters are friendlier than others, but who cares because only the Tartare Burger matters."

"Wie es so ist im Tessin mindestens einmal in ein schönes Grotto... Bei einer Fahrt mit dem Cabrio haben wir dieses entdeckt und für den Abend reserviert. Bei Ankunft war die Reservation irgendwie vergessen, man wollte uns als Paar an einen runden 6er Tisch setzten danach habe wir dann doch noch einen einigermaßen schönen Tisch bekommen. Als Beilagen gab es Kartoffeln, Risotto und Polenta auf der Karte. Beim Bestellen wurde uns dann mitgeteilt (wir waren sehr früh dort so gegen 8 Uhr und nur wenig Leute) das es weder Risotto noch Polenta mehr gibt Ausverkauft! Hallo? Das in einem Grotto? Nicht mal eine Erklärung dazu, oder das man mit Wartezeit auf ein Risotto warten kann, nichts! Gab es kein Reis mehr? Also ich verstehe das absolut nicht... Die Portion des bestellten Essens war klein, entsprechend schnell war das essen vorbei, der Service war solala. (Danach gingen wir nochmals essen, weil wir noch Hunger hatten.)Die Weinkacheln habe ich mit einem Aschenbecher verwechselt weil die Ränder abgeschlagen waren und die Glasur defekt war an x Stellen. Ein wirklich sehr enttäuschenden Besuch."

"Some really cool vegan options (also vegetarian ones) : Fajitas, Burger, Sushis, Indian curry, starters like Guacamole, Hummus, Edamame, Miso soup etc. Food was beautifully presented in the plates, and was super yummy. Service was very friendly, in a great mood, and made an effort to speak our language as we weren’t speaking Italian. Thank you Sophie. Atmosphere super cozy. Good prices. Would definitely go again."

"The restaurant is strong, strong, strong, I swear to God, there is something amazing about the food, clean and the same cooking. They have amazing Indian food in its original form. I ordered it. 2 biryani, one masala, and a chicken curry with bread and 3 cola. My account is 160 francs, very expensive, but to be honest, there is no loss in the amount because it is something amazing. It has the food. The best Indian restaurant in all of Europe, and the view is beautiful. Its place is high in the mountain, with the lake beneath it"

"overpriced for presentations. very small room, old bathroom, no minibar. very average, lumpy bed. you can find more beautiful rooms in an ibis. no parking in the hotel. next parking 300 meters away at a price of CHF30/day. do not arrive with heavy baggage! hotelpool was not available during the duration of our stay. problem with the quality of water. the only plus was the view from the dining room. the hotel would have made at least one gesture regarding the contribution to the parking fees, or perhaps a free drink at the bar due to the lack of pool. Overall, there are better alternatives look elsewhere"

"Really excellent pizzeria by the slice near the centre, one of the few places to grab a quick bite to eat in Lugano that is also open on Sundays. Welcoming and pleasant environment, really excellent prices and different flavors also suitable for vegetarians/vegans. The pizza is made with quality dough, digestible and prepared with care."

"Wir waren als Familie dort und haben sehr gut gegessen. Leider war die Location zu dieser Jahreszeit etwas zu kühl. Wir sassen am Anfang mit Jacken am Tisch. Der grosse Kamin wurde angefeuert und im Laufe des Abends war es dann ok, jedoch nie so warm, dass man hätte sagen können „gemütlich“ .... schade. Die Bedingung war sehr nett, servierte jedoch auch in Jacke. Ich würde im Sommer sicher noch einmal wieder kommen. Der Blick von der Weinreben bedeckten Terrasse, über den See nach Lugano, ist wunderschön."

"Damals waren wir mindestens einmal in unseren Ferien in diesem Restaurant. Nun war ich vorläufig das letzte Mal dort. Die zwei Punkte rechtfertigen lediglich das zarte und leckere Fleisch. Wir bestellten Onion Rings - bekamen je vier kleine, lieblos angerichtete Ringe zum Preis von je 4 Fr. Dazu gab es nicht einmal einen Dip. Wenn schon Amerikanisch, dann richtig! Anschliessend haben wir Fleisch mit Country Frits bestellt (extra nachgefragt), jedoch eine mittelgrosse Ofenkartoffel mit sehr saurer Sauce bekommen. Da man die Beilage zusätzlich bezahlen muss, fand ich die Portion Kartoffel für 5Fr eine Frechheit. Das Personal hatte keinen guten Tag und als auf der Rechnung 7.50Fr für die fade Kartoffel verrechnet wurde, hat das uns echt enttäuscht (die ganze Situation). Wir haben das Personal freundlich darauf hingewiesen und mussten zuerst diskutieren, bis wir auf der Karte beweisen konnten, dass wie recht hatten. Echt mühsam, statt dass man kurz überlegt und selber nachschaut. Aber so ist es ja einfacher. Sehr schade, dass das Restaurant so abgenommen hat. Wir werden vorläufig nicht mehr kommen, da es in der Umgebung wirklich viele tolle Restaurants gibt. Und ein Steakhaus ist es auf keinen Fall. Bekannt ist und bleibt das Restaurant für ihre Pizzen."

"Nice and expensive place! haha but we have to expect it given the area! We went with friends and tried the fondue chinoise, I must say that it is a very varied dish due to the various sauces and combinations that can be made, therefore promoted! You can reorder dishes such as rice and meat at will and there is the possibility of choosing, at the time of booking, the type of meat you will eat. With wine and water we paid 60 euros each, but we ate a lot. Very friendly staff and attentive to requests. I recommend it to you."

"We were lucky enough to get there at 11.59 and get a table without reservations it was full by 1pm. Very nice staff, great wine recommandations, absolute perfect view, amazing antipasti (highly recommend the duck, polenta&truffles) as well as a perfect tiramisu. Prices absolutely honest for wines, entries, main course, dessert and coffee for everyone go and treat yourself !"

"Arrived for lunch, hot day, saw the menu, asked the waiter for information on the menu and took a Pokè because it was a fresh dish... Normally a Pokè is cold, this one arrived piping hot??? Hot and dry white rice, vegetables as hot as the rice, avocado warmed up because everything around was hot but... the coup de grace came with the salmon which was not as fresh as one would expect in a Pokè... But smoked. I confess that I was hungry and I ate even though it was hot, however if this is your idea of Pokè, in Lugano there are other places where you can eat real Pokè for the same price. I didn't eat anything else, so I can't comment on the rest, but after this experience I prefer to have lunch elsewhere."

"I was really looking forward to dinner at this restaurant. Food: I got the 5 course tasting menu. The food was very good. The portions are large, and the whole table left feeling full. The courses were well paced and got increasingly larger as they progressed. They are happy to accommodate your dietary preferences for the tasting menu, to some extent. The food was well prepared and came out looking fabulous. The flavors were wonderful. We loved the food here. However, we inquired about pairing the food with wine. They did not seem to comprehend the notion, the wait staff did not understand wine at all and were of very little help in guiding us. This was both surprising and disappointing.Ambiance: Modern and wonderful, the entryway of the restaurant is spectacular. We loved the modern touches and the ambiance. However, we were one of three large tables occupied all evening, and the restaurant seem to lack spirit and seemed dead. Service: I thought the service here was average to bad. I arrived early, before the larger group, with the thought of getting a cocktail. The bar outside was open but the bartender seemed reluctant to serve me anything unless I had a reservation. Admittedly, I did not know the name on the reservation, or the party size or any detail for that matter, and he kept badgering me with questions until I asked if I should get a cocktail or leave. There was not a soul at the bar or the restaurant. As mentioned above, the staff know very little about the wine. They seemed to be going through the motions, not warm or friendly. Yes they were attentive but there was something missing. The tasting menu is great and well priced. However, the service can be a lot better."

"we eat two very good and very cheap pizzas. our Italian AirBnb host had recommended us this restaurant (yet only for pizzas).The pizzas were very good, but unfortunately the service was anything but friendly. the one waiter was a bit overturned and loud and gave us the worst place of all pizzeria in a dark corner "i’ll give you the best place, the president’s place." a comic who probably doesn’t hold much of tourist;-)."
"Family-friendly prices, quick service, large selection. Interesting beer selection. It's a shame that not all of the ingredients listed on the menu (ordered accordingly) were served. Beer deliveries (ordering complicated or delivered differently than ordered) are likely to be much better suited to the offer."

"With views across lake Lugano, the restaurant was very well situated, the service was great, nice and friendly, the English speaking waiting staff were easy going and helpful, the menu was easily understandable, and the prices were very reasonable for the area, the meals were large, and the sides and starters delicious. The restaurant became busy around 13.30 so go early."

"Generous portions, extensive menu with a varied selection of hamburgers and interesting recommendations from the chef, we arrived without a reservation and they very kindly gave us a table in the middle of the room on the left side, the team was very friendly and always ready, a pleasant and jovial atmosphere with good music, very consistent with the place. (Photo of the dessert was missing, but it was so good that we forgot to take it"
