Italian Contemporary, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

At this restaurant, Diego Della Schiava creates beautifully presented cuisine that is truly a feast for the eyes! This chef’s philosophy focuses on seasonal ingredients, which he transforms into Mediterranean and Swiss dishes with an equal emphasis on meat and fish, including highlights such as the delicious scallop tartare with sesame oil, nasturtiums and porcini mushroom puff. In fine weather, we recommend booking a table on the spacious terrace to enjoy its stunning views of Lugano and the lake.

I Due Sud

€€€€

Situated within the beautiful Splendide Royal hotel (now approaching its 140th anniversary!), this small, welcoming restaurant serves gourmet cuisine prepared by new chef Marco Veneruso, a southern Italian whose respectable CV gives his dishes intensity, strength and finesse. A good example is the linguine with scampi and an anchovy sauce, one of the signature dishes that earned him a Michelin star during his time in Beijing. Here, he offers three menus: "DALLA COSTIERA ALLA SWISS RIVIERA", "VENTO D'ESTATE" and the vegetarian "BOUQUET DALL'ORTO". Dishes can be chosen à la carte style – all you

Even after META moved to Piazza Riforma in the heart of the city, a visit here is still highly recommended. The entrance is somewhat hidden, with a small staircase leading up to the second floor. The design is chic and elegant, and classic Italian cuisine full of energy, soul and flavour is served at beautiful marble tables. Here and there, Asian accents are also incorporated. There is a set menu as well as à la carte dishes. You will be looked after attentively and professionally. Tip: they offer an impressive selection of champagnes.

Felix Lo Basso Restaurant

Italian Contemporary, Mediterranean Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

The restaurant, nestled in a peaceful setting just outside the city, is a refuge for the senses: in the evening, the chef's table welcomes up to 12 guests for an intimate and surprising gastronomic experience, while a private room can accommodate small groups of up to 20 people. At the stove, a chef already well-known in Italy reinterprets Italian cuisine with creativity and passion. The service is warm, and the menu is rich in Mediterranean influences. The mascot? A curious and omnipresent gorilla: appearing in photos, as a statue, or even in the butter served with the bread. On sunny days, t

Grotto della Salute

€€

A rustic grotto-style restaurant with a warm and welcoming ambience, where staff are happy to advise you on the seasonal dishes on offer. A whole page of the menu is dedicated to classic favourites, all of which are influenced by Mediterranean cuisine – the veal shank with mashed potato and salted butter is particularly delicious. There’s also a small menu of daily specials which changes according to market availability. The terrace shaded by huge plane trees provides a pleasant setting for summer dining, while an excellent wine list adds to the appeal.

Set in a panoramic location, slightly set back from the town centre, La Luce is the gourmet restaurant of a hotel with classic charm and an intimate atmosphere. In the warmer months, guests are enchanted by the veranda, which offers truly stunning views, whilst in winter the elegant dining rooms provide an intimate and refined welcome. The cuisine is built on a solid foundation of traditional techniques, showcasing local produce with subtle Mediterranean influences and a careful respect for seasonality: meat and fish are presented on an equal footing.

€€

Situated on the rooftop of the casino and accessible via a glass-sided lift, this restaurant boasts fine views of the lake. In summer, the popular seats on the terrace need to be booked well in advance, while the lounge bar on the ground floor is perfect for a post-dinner cocktail. The cuisine here is varied and wide-ranging, both on the set menus and the à la carte, plus there’s an excellent choice of wines featuring labels from around the world.

Ciani Lugano

Mediterranean Cuisine

Located between the Palazzo dei Congressi and the Ciani Garden, this modern and cosmopolitan venue is a true gem. Renowned regional chef Dario Ranza focuses on Mediterranean cuisine, prepared with skill and precision to guarantee delicious flavors. Among his specialties: Lostallo salmon “Caini style,” a variety of risottos, sole meunière, and salt-crusted sea bass, filleted directly at the table. The selection of exclusive wines and Champagnes is truly remarkable.
