"1,000% recommend!! I visited this charming, wonderful grotto with my family back in August, and it was one of the best restaurant experiences of our lives! The setting is just perfect warm and storybooklike. From the moment we arrived, Roberto was so welcoming. It was great talking with him! His wife Christina's food is absolutely divine. Every dish wowed us! I especially loved the apple gorgonzola risotto and the cheesecake. At the end of the meal, Roberto gave us samples of their limoncello which was such a fun conclusion to our amazing night. I highly reccomend Grotto Castagneto to anyone in the Lugano area!"

Amazing home-made Italian food. The lasagna and gnocchi in particular were spectacular. The couple (cook and waiter) were super kind and hospitable. Highly recommend stop in Mont Bre region!

We had the homemade tagliatelle with mushrooms and a tiramisu for dessert. Both were excellent. The service was friendly and quaint outdoor seating. After coffee the owner kindly brought a slice of the house-made “chocolate salami” for the table. It was rich, delicious chocolate roll...shaped cake. Highly recommended.

Everything we had was fantastic. The jam with the cheese plate was very good and I was surprised to find out what it was made from. We enjoyed dinner so much we came back next day for lunch to try the other specials. This is a family run spot we great atmosphere and great staff. By far the best meal we had the whole trip in Switzerland.

We went to eat at this charming little restaurant on a rainy evening. As a starter, we had a platter of local cheeses and cold meats which were delicious (not counting the homemade pepper jam). We ordered a gorgonzola risotto, a shank and beef cheeks. Everything was super good and cooked to perfection! The tiramisù was exquisite, although personally I prefer it with more coffee. We received excellent service from the hosts who own this place. To top it off, we were treated to a little attention from the owner, a limoncello. To recommend!!

"I must say that we ate well but the behavior of the waiter and I believe the owner, a somewhat large guy with a full voice, during lunch on Saturday 24 February 2024 let 's say that in a certain sense he pampered us but in his own way, I I even showed him the nice review I had given him on Google and he authoritatively told me, after all, I 'll give you a nice gift. Let me start by saying that it was the third time I ate there, twice with local friends. We choose from the menu and order, 4 crostini as a starter and 1 cordon bleu with 1 elephant ear, we eat and feel good. I ask for the bill and it arrives on the table, I get up to pay with the master card, I type in the pin and I pay and once he gives me the receipt in my hand, he, the one who served us at the table, starts to say in a loud voice of Mussolini, let 's arm ourselves and leave, Italian thieves and then he disappears leaving me embarrassed in front of everyone, an Italian who discriminates against another Italian!!! It came naturally to me to immediately say (taking back the nice words I had to say to him my wife and I had a great time and we will be back soon!! look that Ticino was created by the Italians many years ago and that Switzerland was created from the French, Germans and Italians!!! And in here we are all Italians!! But crazy stuff!! But also analyzing the price for what we ate, therefore, 4 slices of bread each with some already made sauces, 1 bottle of water and 1 can of coke, second course, 1 cordon bleu and a pork Milanese, 120 francs !! And I didn 't object to both the food and the price, so who is the Italian thief? But it 's not the expense that bothers me, this is a consequence of what you told me, it 's useless for me to write on the site or anything else for 31 years in Ticino, yes but she arrives with a cardboard suitcase or from Calabria or Sicily many years ago, so how dare you do racial discrimination? Shame on you and if you have to continue like this, change your job immediately so that you don 't disgrace your origins!!! In that room on Saturday there were many Italians and from what I understood a family who had recently moved to Lugano!!! Among other things, before this he had discussed with another customer about a seat and added that his mother and brother were already sitting there. Are you from Ticino? But only on paper, perhaps his great-grandchildren will be true Ticinese because it takes 7 generations to become pure!!!"
