Lugano restaurants with food menus

Vetta

Pizza • Cafés • Essen • Asiatisch

"Unfortunately the quality of the food was very poor. We ordered the perch filet with butter and sage sauce with parmesan risotto. The risotto was probably rice cooked in cream, not seasoned with wine, vegetable stock, onion/garlic or other spices. The fish fillet was small breaded pieces of fish that were probably deep fried or fried in copious amounts of butter. No fishy taste noticeable anymore. The sauce consisted of sage leaves fried in butter. Plates carelessly arranged. Overall, the second most expensive dish on the menu was not recommended. Even cafeteria food is better! The gnocchi was also ordered with Gorgonzola sauce and saffron. Gorgonzola was not tasted, saffron dominates the whole meal. Children's dish (macaroni with tomato sauce) was served cold and the tomato sauce was probably not homemade. Absolutely not recommended restaurant for food. Poor quality at completely exorbitant prices. 0 points!!!"

"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."

Orchid Restaurant Bar

Curry • Asiatisch • Vegetarisch • Lieferdienste

"Went there with a company of friends some time ago. The place itself is very nice and quite, conveniently located. Staff is quite friendly and nice. Service is fast. But, there were some disappointments: Appetisers came quite small. The selection of vegetarian dishes is extremely poor and the portion of egg fried rice is also quite small and boring. I had noodles with shrimps and my friend had the same order. My portion was almost 1.5 times smaller than my friend's. That looked ridiculous. But, I have to say that the taste was very good. Overall, I was rather disappointed by our visit, but the place is nice and food is good."

Convivio Osteria

➤ Schweiz/Suisse/Svizzera/Svizra, Switzerland, Swiss Confederation, 6900, Lugano

Kaffee-ecke • Italienisch • Amerikanisch • Nach Spezialität

"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"

Café Retro Tivoli

➤ via Guisan 6, 6900 Paradiso, 6902, Lugano, Switzerland

Europäisch • Vegetarisch • Restaurants • Italienisch

"The menu seems promising and the food was delicious, so the chef is to be recommended. Our waiter was also nice and welcoming, until someone else came around asking for the best bottle of wine or the most expensive one, diverting his attention. But ok, I get it. What I don 't get is how the restaurant 's owner, I presume (signore Matteo? , thinks it is fine to make a video call with his daughter in high volume, so that everyone around, including us, can hear her high pitch voice and their conversation, and also clearly see her on the phone if we happen to look at the entrance, where he was sitting. How disrespectful! Also, even though our card worked fine everywhere else in Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France (etc , here it mysteriously didn 't work and we had to pay in cash (funny, I also heard the waiter whispering to his boss that someone else had also payed in cash... Faulty credit card reader, a way to avoid taxes?.... I don 't know, but that 's rather bizarre when today 's technology and credit cards work so well... . Final bonus: we were completely bombarded by mosquitoes, which may be normal here by the lake, but maybe some candles or anti-mosquitoes electric devices would be advisable. Can 't really recommend this restaurant as the overall experience left us with a bitter taste. Not the chef 's fault, though."

Lido Seegarten Lugano

Schweizer • Restaurants • Italienisch • Mediterrane

"Der Parkplatz ist zu klein für grössere Autos. Kein Witz, es steht sogar ein entsprechendes Schild dort. Die Terrasse ist sehr eng bestuhlt, der Blick auf den Pool schrecklich. Dort liegen Menschen dicht an dicht auf den Sonnenliegen. Der Service im Restaurant war bemüht, aber ineffizient. Zu Pasta fragt man den Gast, ob er einen Löffel wünscht. Das wurde übersehen. Parmesan kam erst auf Nachfrage. Man teilt sich ein kleines Servierschälchen Parmesan mit allen anderen Gästen. Unglaublich, bei dem Preis von 30 CHF für die Pasta. Einzig das Kalbsfilet war sehr zart und schmeckte sehr gut."

Anema e Core

➤ via Pietro Capelli 2, 6962 Viganello, Lugano, Switzerland

Pizza • Restaurants • Italienisch • Mediterrane

"Together with a friend we stopped by to grab a quick pizza before going to the cinema immediately afterwards. I 'll start by saying that I 've already been there twice and so far I 've always had a good time. We ordered two pizzas and a water to drink, wanting to save it for later. We were the first customers, they had already placed a little something on the table for us to munch on which I appreciated and asked two different waiters if we didn 't also want an aperitif. They seemed surprised and a bit insistent but I told myself I was exaggerating. Upon returning from the bathroom, however, I pass by the waiters who were taking our order, and the man exclaims Do these people only drink water??? . Stunned, I turn and look at them offended. Following the dessert order which we always wanted to avoid to make room for the popcorn, I felt obliged to justify myself on the Cinema issue to the waitress and order an espresso, but I shouldn 't have. These things shouldn 't happen in restaurants! friendliness is the minimum! There 's no point in wishing me a good evening if you say anything to your customers behind your back. I 'm sorry but I think I won 't go there again, too bad."

"Mi sono trovato con amici che già conoscevano il locale, dando una sbirciata al menù ero un po titubante in tutto ma poi assaggiando mi è venuta la voglia di mangiare!!! Nelle foto tutto quello che ho mangiato, gustosa la carne macinata fatta a Stella, si spalma sul pane abbrustolito e gnammm!!!! Bonoooooo !!!! In sala tanto di cappello per i camerieri che sono professionali!!!"

Addis Pizzeria

➤ Via Clemente Maraini 12, 6900, Lugano, Switzerland

Pizza • Pizzeria • Mediterrane • Italienisch

"Spaziergang durch Lugano, Hunger kommt auf und das erst beste Lokal auf dem Platz wird angesteuert. Leider bewahrheiten sich die eher schlechten Bewertungen. Der Salat ist nicht mehr knackig, die Gnocchi verkocht der Mozzarella gummig, auf der Pizza liegen Dosen Pilze, die Carbonara schmeckt komisch kurzum das Essen ist wirklich schlecht. Dass dann auch noch ein Burger vergessen geht, passt ins Gesamtbild. Das Vorurteil, dass Restaurants auf Piazzas oft nicht gut sind, bewahrheitet sich leider wieder einmal."

Grotto Tamè

Wein • Vegetarisch • Mexikanisch • Restaurants

"Ich war nun das 2.Mal privat dort, mein Partner u.a. auch mal geschäftlich und es war wieder einmal super! Die Bedienung sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und gut gelaunt, trotz des schweisstreibenden Wetters. Die Vorspeise bestand dieses Mal aus einem vorzüglichen Vitello Tomate und einen ebenso leckerenen Lachs tartar mit Avocardo. Die Hauptspeise waren kleine Nüdelchen mit einem Kaninchen Gulasch und Pfifferlingen. Ich schwelge jetzt noch in Erinnerungen. Etwas so Gutes mit Kaninchen hatte ich noch NIE gegessen!!!Auch der Seeteufel auf frischen Bohnen mit Paprikaschaum war lt.meines Partners vorzüglich. Dazu gab es natürlich einen Tessiner Punkt noir.Alles in Allem ein wunderschöner Abend unter riesigen Plantanen mit freundlicher Bedienung und vorzüglichen Essen und Trinken.Preise liegen schon im oberen Bereich, sind jedoch durch die Qualität und Leistung gerechtfertigt.WIEDER IN LUGANO WIEDER IM SALUTE :"

Al Lido

➤ viale Castagnola 6, Lugano 6900, Switzerland

Bier • Schweizer • Europäisch • Italienisch

"Al Lido ist ein fantastischer Ort, wo ein aperitivo zu genießen, ein Bier oder ein schönes Abendessen dans l'eau in Lugano à pieds. Der Blick auf den See und die Berge ist spektakulär. Ich habe auch versucht, einen Ort für Business und Conference Dinner und es erstaunlich gut funktionierte. Das Essen war sehr gut, der Service war ausgezeichnet und am Ende waren unsere Gastgeber sehr zufrieden."

Pizzeria La Gardenia

➤ via Lisano 3, 6900 Massagno, Lugano, Switzerland

Pizza • Salat • Vegetarisch • Restaurants

"If you want to save on restaurant costs in Lugano this is the right place. We went for 2 consecutive evenings and were never disappointed. The first evening we chose pizza. All at 10chf which for Lugano is unlikely when the average in other places is at least 15chf for a Margherita. Reasonable prices also for beers and desserts. We spent 93chf for 4 with 4 squares, 3 beers, 1 coke and 4 desserts. Not only the price but also the quality of the pizza is excellent despite being in Switzerland. We return the next evening and have 1 mixed grill with side dish, 1 pasta with meat sauce and 1 carbonara, same drink and same desserts and we spent 130chf. Very good! Fabulous grilled meat cooked just right, even the carbonara, despite being with bacon and not bacon, was very good in taste. We're a bit disappointed because the place is a bit isolated and seems little frequented, but we always found the place very full. The waitresses recognized us immediately, always with a smile and never rude, like the owners always checking that everything is in order. A point of reference for good food, excellent value for money."

The Trinity Irish Pub

➤ via Luigi Canonica 19, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland

Kebab • Restaurants • Mexikanisch • Amerikanisch

"I 've been to lots of irish pubs in my life and I do have a pretty good idea what to expect from them. The Trinity does not really fulfill that. The decor is very sparse, there 's hardly any pictures, no carving in the wood, no decorative lamps, etc. it really seems to be empty, you don 't feel the love for the location. The top floor is also where the kitchen is located, whereas the bar is on ground level. So top floor is not recommended, the smell from the kitchen is pretty heavy. First time we 've been there we went just for drinks and it was a really busy night. Working the counter myself from time to time, I know what this means. But still, the barkeeper hardly ever looked at me, despite me sitting directly in front of him on a stool. Ordering drinks was almost impossible and I even had to wait for several minutes untill I could pay for them. Not good. Second night the pub 's been much more quiet, which was alright for us, so the service was better. Unfortunately the food was lacking behind. While looking quite tasty, the meat in the burgers was dry, most likely due to the quality of the meat, because it was not overcooked. But it wasn 't juicy, which was a real shame. In addition, the fries aren 't homemade, but at least they were crispy. You can 't save the ambience without investing a lot of cash. But you could surely improve the meat and maybe get a second barkeeper for a busy night, because the experience was not great. My only reason of considering to re visit, would be the beer, 'cause the selection is quite nice."

Etnic

➤ Str. Di Pregassona 44, 6963, Lugano, Switzerland

Sushi • Asiatisch • Italienisch • International

"I was often in this restaurant as there is often a lot of vegan options, clearly indicated on the menu. So maybe I would have given them four stars. but now. since they are in the new position (on the hills, impossible without reaching car) they also have their menu...no clearer labeled vegan options, no vegan burgers...ke more French pommes. I found two ways to read and ask all the ingredients to be safe. vegans are probably no longer welcome. Previously it was the best vegan restaurant in lugano. last time for me."

Il Fermento Lugano

"beautiful small water side craft bier experience. the service was efficient and the free monkey nuts beautiful. a tad expensive, but they pay for quality. the food was not tried, but it sounded very good!"

Rice Go

➤ Via Sempione, 1204, Lugano, Switzerland

Sushi • Fisch • Fleisch • Hühnchen

"Terrible. If you are vegetarian and want the lunch menu they will give you rice with vegetables . By vegetables they practically only mean broccoli (and by broccoli they mean the stalk of broccoli, hard and inedible), 2 almost invisible slices of carrots and 2 small pieces of courgettes. All for 13.50 fr? A robbery. 7 different types of meat/fish options, but not even a tofu or protein vegetarian option that justifies the price of the dish. Never again will I come here. If you are looking for vegetarian options on the same price line (but more generous portions) for lunch I recommend Kind Thai in Besso or the new Vietnamese in Molino Nuovo da Sung."

Grande Pizza Caffe

➤ Via Giosue Carducci 3, 6901, Lugano, Switzerland

Pubs • Pizza • Schweizer • Italienisch

"Walking past the outdoor dining tables, Gran Caffe left the impression that it would be a peaceful and probably relatively inexpensive place to catch our evening meal. When we did circle back, a woman there warmly greeted us. As I was considering the menu, she conspiratorially informed me that she would suggest a starter dish that would teach me about Swiss-Italian cuisine. It turned out to be a mediocre ravioli dish. The thing is, she selected the same dish for my companion. Wouldn't she opt for something different, if she was interested in teaching us about the cuisine. The suspicious part of me got to wondering if this choice wasn't based on profit margin or harder considerations as much as it's culinary quality and if her warm, maternal schtik might not be a role she'd perfected for tourists. Or, maybe I'm being paranoid! But, forwarded a is forearmed. The risotto with lake perch was good; the wine she selected went well with the fish. But the $140 tab was The largest amount we have spent on a meal and I would say that the whole experience didn't justify a tab of that magnitude"

Taqueria El Chilicuil

➤ corso Pestalozzi 12, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland

Fast Food • Vegetarisch • Restaurants • Nach Spezialität

"Als mexikanisch-deutsche Familie haben wir Agua de Horchata bestellt . Der Glas war fast halb voll und mit 32 Grad im Schatten und ohne Eis fast wie ein Tee zu trinken. Ojo!!! In Mexiko wird Agua de Horchata immer mit Eis serviert. Vielleicht könnte man das berücksichtigen. Die Salsas waren aus der Flasche so wie die Camarones in der Tostada einfach aus der Packung genommen. Die Garnelen waren nicht mal frittiert oder mit Butter, Salz oder Pfeffer abgeschmeckt. Die Tomatensalsa in der Tastada war schon säuerlich (also Kaputt) und es war nur eine Tostada obwohl in der Menu steht Tostadas (Mehrzahl)Die Bedienung war freundlich aber das hat nicht geholfen, wenn das Essen so schlecht ist, obwohl Quesadillas, Sincronizadas und Tostadas das alles einfachste aus Mexiko ist. Das hat uns nur traurig gemacht."

Bar Domino Pizzeria Ristorante

➤ riva Antonio Caccia 12, Lugano 6900, Switzerland, 6902

Kebab • Pizza • Vegetarisch • Italienisch

"We went to this place for dinner as it was just next to our hotel and there were literally no vegan/veggie places opened for dinner in Lugano (quite a shame as all vegan places here are only opened during lunch hours). The menu is really big, guessing around 70 dishes available but only one vegan pizza on it! In the end we found out that a tomato bruschetta and pasta arrabbiata were vegan too but there are no signs for vegan/vegetarian/GF etc on the menu which is really disappointing. Overall pizza and bruschetta were really good but pasta was way too spicy for Italian standards."

Pizzeria Da Franco

➤ via del Tiglio 13, Lugano 6900, Switzerland

Pizza • Sushi • Kebab • Vegetarisch

"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;-)."
