Description

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.

Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, elegant atmosphere, and professional yet friendly service, particularly highlighting the 7-course and 5-course tasting menus for their fresh local ingredients and refined flavors. The restaurant boasts breathtaking views of Lake Lugano. However, negative feedback points to inconsistencies in food quality, service errors, pacing issues, and poor value for money. Some guests also noted lax adherence to health regulations. While experiences vary, positive sentiments regarding the culinary excellence and ambiance significantly outweigh the criticisms.
