"Beware this must be one of the only bars in Lugano where there is an ‘al banco’ vs ‘a tavola’ price and there is a huge difference between the two. Cappuccino at the bar costs around 3.50 while at a table it costs 4.60....The service was ok and the setting is pleasant but not worth the price tag."

"They offer GF pizza, but recommended not to eat them as I said I was koeliac (due to the risk of contamination). Instead, they offer to cook GF pasta of my choice. I asked for the Pasta packaging (GF-Penne by Semper). Unfortunately, I got GI symptoms after I had eaten there. Impurities probably occurred when cooking the GF Pasta. That's a pity because the pasta was really delicious and the staff were friendly."

"Um ehrlich zu sein, war das Essen der beste Teil des Gesamterlebnisses in diesem Restaurant. Ich bin mir jedoch nicht sicher, ob der Ort das Recht verdient, Restaurant genannt zu werden. Vielleicht hieß er zu Recht Taverne .Platz sieht innen nicht schön aus und liegt weit vom Stadtzentrum entfernt.Lassen Sie sich von der englischen Website nicht irreführen, da niemand zur Verfügung stand, der in Kürze seine napolitanische bis englische Speisekarte erläuterte oder nur Tagesgerichte empfahl.Die ältere Dame, die die Bestellungen entgegennahm, war stationär und nicht sehr höflich. Wurde unhöflich, als wir darum baten, das Geschirr zu wechseln, da es nicht sehr sauber aussah. Wir fühlten uns wie Fremde und nicht wie Gäste. Als wir unsere Wahl trafen, kam eine andere Person und ließ buchstäblich eine Papiertüte auf den Tisch fallen. Wir dachten aus Versehen, fanden aber nach einer Weile heraus, dass sich darin etwas Brot befindet. Wie seltsam das alles war. Die Bestellung dauerte eine Weile, aber wir haben es geschafft. Das Essen kam pünktlich, aber keine Überraschung, da wir nur wenige Gäste waren. Fleischgericht mit Kartoffeln und Salat bestellt. Kartoffeln kamen nicht und Salat war die Eisbergstücke mit nichts anderem. Da der Service unhöflich war, hatte ich Angst, das Thema Kartoffeln anzusprechen. Zum Glück wurde nicht dasselbe berechnet, obwohl die Rechnung insgesamt sehr salzig war. Vergleichbar mit 1 Street Tier Top Restaurants, in denen großartiger Service und gute italienische Küche geboten werden.Vielleicht konzentrieren sich die Orte nur auf Napolitaner, die ihre Heimat und ihr Essen aus ihrer Kindheit kennen, aber definitiv kann ich es weder Einheimischen, Touristen noch Geschäftsreisenden empfehlen."

"I decided for a meeting with family in lugano, near the park and the lake, to remember the old meetings, being born and having lived in this beautiful city for years. which better place for location than the restaurant cyans. we could stay on the terrace on a Sunday rather warm and sultry, in fact excellent the idea of the great fans outside that personally have not disturbed at all. also the idea of finding a small makeup parade was nice. On the contrary, however, the service: a little careful and unprofessional waitress and an offer little worthy for a city that wants to focus on tourism. We ask for three ice creams, drowned in coffee with cream. the waitress, arrived among other things without the traditional notebook (we are seven,) tells us that they do not have cream. an absurdity that made us smile, even if at the bottom the amazement was more marked: but how? does not want to focus on tourism? Don't you know the Germans are crazy about cream? Patience, my guests therefore ask for coffee without cream. But the right coffee doesn't have it. the orders are concluded and be done, the lady repeats all 4 drowned....2..1.... by putting the guest to remake the accounts of what he just asked. in fact it had wrong, it was not 4 drowned but only 3. I told you clearly, with friendly tone, that it would be easier with a notebook, the old card and pen system is always the best. but of course, as soon as you arrived the commands, you could not be silent, you had to prove your little professionalism in underlining his skill in having managed to remember everything, with doing quite extrafoctant. But where are the waiters who welcome the client in a courteous and hospitable manner? where are the waiters who bring you orders by leaning them on the table, having cleaned it first, instead of handing it all in hand?"

"Meine Frau und ich gingen in ein Restaurant im Zentrum von Lugano. Der Bus hatte jedoch Verspätungen und wir beschlossen zu Fuß zu gehen. Auf dem Weg dorthin fanden wir den Parq und da er unsere Augen eroberte, beschlossen wir, uns darauf einzulassen.Gerade als wir uns die Speisekarte anschauten, stellten wir fest, dass es sich um eine asiatische Fusion handelte. Zum Glück hatten wir kein Bedauern. Wir hatten frische Frühlingsrollen als Vorspeise und dann eine Schüssel Nudeln mit Hühnchen. Das knusprige Hähnchen war unglaublich. Aber das Beste war, als wir eine Guacamole bestellten. Wenn Sie es bestellen, bitten Sie darum, vor Ihnen vorbereitet zu sein. Die Show lohnt sich.Wie das Logo sagt, ist der Ort eine wahre Reise der Sinne."

"My partner and I were tourists in Lugano and we chose the Sass Cafè for lunch. We ate well, the service was not up to par, but above all the bill (different prices from those written on the menu). The Sicilian cannoli on the menu indicates the cost of CHF 12, but in the bill we paid CHF 14!... The water is cl. 50 they made her pay her weight in gold, CHF 4.80! It's okay that we were passing through and we're not local, but Incu....(ripping off) customers like this is really counterproductive, in fact we won't be going back again! Massimo from Lodi"

"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."

"Nach einem Besuch im Parco Scherrer und weil wir den ganzen Tag bereits unterwegs gewesen waren, beschlossen wir im Grotto essen zu gehen. Die Karte und die Terrasse sahen einladend aus. Zuerst wurden wir entäuscht das wir nicht am Rand sitzen durften mit direkter Seesicht. Alles sei reserviert wurde uns mitgeteilt, es sei schliesslich Samstag.... Also sassen wir mitendrinn. In der ganzen Zeit als wir dort waren, war nur noch ein Tisch mit zwei Personen besetzt... Das bestellte essen nachmittags um 17.00 Uhr kam sehr schnell. Doch die Gnocchi waren verkocht, wässerig und die Tomatensauce fad. Das kleine Basilikumblatt konnte da auch nichts mehr retten. Auch die Ravioli al Brasato ca.9-10 Stk. waren nicht so der Hit. Sie schmeckten zwar gut waren aber lauwarm und es war die selbe fade Tomatensauce wie auf meinen Gnocchi. Die Bedienung war nett, lies sich aber gerne ablenkenken ich musste sie zum zahlen nochmals extra rufen wei wir sonst den Bus verpasst hätten und bediente andauern mit heruntergezogener Maske. Für mich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein No-Go!"

"I wanted to have lunch with my family. We were 7 people and wanted to share two tables. The woman didn't allow us to do that so we sat at two different tables. My father went to the toilet and heard the staff talking about us. We were there 1-2 hours ago and just had something to drink. He heard that one woman said that we would finally like to eat. We also had a boat to go to Lugano in 45 minutes. We politely asked if they could bring the food a little quicker for us. The woman said very unsympathetically: “I don’t know.” Very unpleasant experience. The view is great but the staff is horrible. Unfortunately I can only give 1 star but if I could I would give zero."

"For us Lugano people it is a historic place, but for occasional customers I suppose it could be a surprise, both for the rustic and convivial environment in the heart of the city and for the homemade flavor of the food."

"Fantastic experience! Waiters trained to welcome the customer. Amazing professionalism, they know how to recommend everything on the menu while also telling you the story behind it. As soon as you take your first bite you have an explosion of flavours! Absolutely excellent value for money! I will definitely be back."

"I won 't repeat the experience. A few pieces of raw game (at will, it must be said) to cook personally, 5 side dishes (see photo) and a bottle of wine? Almost 100 francs: unthinkable. The star is for compliance with hygiene standards and nothing more. Disappointing and rather sad."

"We were greeted with the most stern face of the female waitress who simply said’ we have no table for you’ N on greeting whatsoever! After a minute 2 tables opened up, the waiter ended up messing the order , upon confrontation he bluntly replied that it was us who had ordered this! Others in my group waited for 20 mins to get a Naan to somehow finish their sugar loaded ‘ Paneer Tikka masala’.They take customers for granted! Unbelievably poor service and vivaciously rude staff!!"

"After seeing the great reviews here, I decided to try this place, and my goodness I'm glad I did. We sat on the terrace with a magnificent view of the lake, the gluten-free options are on the menu and all allergens are numbered, which is great, I had a gluten-free role that was sealed on the bag, for my main I have Beetroot Risotto with scallops, it was so good I did not want it to end, I will definitely go back to Lugano."

"Beautiful new place, you can go there to see all kinds of shows, from musicals to even famous painters like Vincent Van Gogh, who was there for a while. If you want, you can go there even without seeing anything, given the beautiful lake and the architecture which allows for a unique experience. Maybe the only thing is the prices. I truly recommend them to everyone!"

"My friend and I came here off of a recommendation from our BnB host. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. The hostess only spoke Italian but she was able to communicate with us effectively and was very charming. The food was great. I had the pasta with fish and my friend had fish. Very tasty. If I'm ever in Lugano again I will for sure visit here."

"We are schnitzels lover and a good schnitzel is one of our preferred dish. We arrived to Lugano very hungry, Following TripAdvisor good reviews we took a special taxi from our hotel to Schnitzy, we arrived at 16:00 pm. At this time the menu was limited for schnitzels only, salad and chips. The staff were very friendly and we had a very good feeling that we are going to enjoy. We ordered two schnitzels : Weiner (veal) and the big 350 gram pork. Both of our Schnitzy schnitzels looked big and impressive but that was all!!!Both were too thin with plywood texture and too much heavy dominate fried bread crumbs taste.The main point was the Weiner schnitzel which had an unpleasant aftertaste and bad smell, we could not eat it. (really low quality) The pork was eatable, the coating of the fried bread crumbs took over the taste of the thin meat. The lemon and the chips help alittle but it was far away from our expectation for juicy flavour good schnitzel. The real bad luck was after I ate 1/3 of this average pork schnitzel I have noticed that there is a human hair inside the coating. They apologies and deduct the cost from the bill. The chips and the salad were good. They are nice people and it's look that they are investing effort in their business, I really hope that they will improve themselves."

"Seemed like a good idea. Initial service was subpar, drinks were good (as all they did was open the bottle or serve coffee). Food was not great- salty and bit sickly. More problems arose when we were informed they don’t accept card. Which is highly unusual, had to go to atm around the corner where they have a minimum of 50 francs. Then the waiter has the audacity to take his time giving me change as to ask for a tip. Give the customer a stress free experience and perhaps you’ll get what you deserve. In the mean time your establishment deserves a 1 star."

"Positive Aspekte: Super freundliches Personal, stets zuvorkommend, lustig und sympathisch. Wunderschöne Lage direkt am See. Vergünstigte Parkplätze vorhanden. Personal spricht mehrere Sprachen. Mit dem Zug innerhalb von 10 Minuten in Lugano, Ticket im Hotelaufenthalt inbegriffen. Saubere Zimmer, Einrichtung der Zimmer normal nichts Spezielles, jedoch auch nicht alt). Sonnenterrase mit Liegestühlen, Sonnenschirmen und kleinem Pool. Seepromenaden weg direkt vor dem Hotel, auf welchem man bis in das Nachbarsdorf gehen kann. Negative Aspekte: Für den Hotel Preis war das Frühstück teilweise lieblos angerichtet z.B. der Käse im Buffet), wenig Früchte zur Auswahl Äpfel, Fruchtsalat), 3 Minuten Ei war ein hart gekochtes Ei, Cappuccino und Espresso waren auch eher enttäuschend wenig Geschmack, Milch sehr wässrig). Bei der Pizza Verdurre waren wir enttäuscht, da das Gemüse nicht typisch italienisch war. Es wurde das Beilage Gemüse für die Fleisch Gerichte verwendet. Auch hier teilweise lieblos angerichtet. Auch der Salat Insalata Caprese war eher lieblos angerichtet z.B. ein einziges Basilikumblatt auf dem ganzen Salat. Wir hätten es vorgezogen, wenn beim Abendessen/Frühstück jeweils Musik abgespielt worden wäre. Ohne war das Ambiente nämlich mittelmässig. Fazit: Schönes, kleines Hotel direkt am See. Super freundliches Personal. Sauberr Zimmer. Wir würden das Hotel weiter empfehlen, jedoch ohne im Hotel zu essen."
