Great spot right on the plaza&mdash;we grabbed pasta and dessert, both solid. Service was friendly but timing felt a bit off when we showed up around 5. Slightly pricey, but good for a catch-up with friends 🙂

Came for breakfast, got the eggs and some coffee. Food was solid and the bill came out way lower than what most spots in Lugano charge. Portion was decent too. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. Probably the cheapest decent meal I&#39;ve had around here.

We had an amazing massage before our delicious dinner at la Piazzetta! It was all fantastic! Thank you :)

Stopped by for a cappuccino and a pastry&mdash;both were decent, pretty good quality. Location&rsquo;s super handy, just a short walk from the main square. Prices are a bit steep for Lugano, but you&rsquo;re paying for the spot. Fine for a quick break if you&rsquo;re nearby.

The mixed grill platter was a proper feast, plus it came with a starter and a bottle of wine. Service was spot on too. Good spot for a catch-up with friends 🙌

Been coming here for years. Lobster pasta is still as good as the first time I tried it. Portions are generous, parking&#39;s easy. That&#39;s why I keep going back.

The puntine ribs here are the real deal. Tender, smoky, fall-off-the-bone. I&rsquo;ve had a lot of ribs around Lugano, these are easily the best. Antipasto was solid too, and the wine list has some good local picks. Price felt fair for what you get. Just go for the ribs.

The pistachio cake was the highlight. Seriously good, one of the best I&#39;ve had. Pizzas were solid too, thin and crispy crust. Service was quick, which I appreciated since I was in a rush. Place was a bit busy but fine for a quick bite. Would go back for that cake again.

The pizza really stood out&mdash;crispy crust, good amount of toppings. Place gets a bit chaotic with kids running around, but that&rsquo;s fine. Would come back for the pie alone. 🍕

Been coming here for a while now. The beetroot risotto still gets me every time&mdash;creamy, not too heavy, and the color is just stunning. Service stays consistent too, which I appreciate. It&rsquo;s near the marina, easy to find. Yeah, it&rsquo;s not cheap, but I keep coming back for that dish.

The sausage risotto was surprisingly good&mdash;hearty and well-seasoned. Prices felt fair for the neighborhood. Service stayed friendly without hovering.

The coffee was decent, nothing crazy. Had a slice of the cake too, it was moist enough. Staff opened early for us because of the rain, that was nice of them. But honestly, I just came for the food. The cake did the job.

The vegetarian calzone was solid&mdash;good bread, nice cheese, veggies tasted fresh. They brought extra parmesan without asking. Kinda tucked away, but worth finding.

Pizza della Posta never disappoints&mdash;toppings are generous and the crust holds up every time. Always busy with locals, that says enough.

Lovely little spot in Lugano with a pergola-covered garden. Had a great lunch there&mdash;decent mix of local and ethnic dishes, prices fair. Staff were friendly too.

The daily special was solid, and the wine paired nicely. Service was quick without hovering. Decent spot for a casual dinner.

The risotto was lovely, and the staff made sure I was comfortable. Pricey, but the lake view is hard to beat.

Pizza was solid and way cheaper than most spots around here. Staff kept it chill, no rush. Good enough for a random dinner stop.

The mixed grill was solid&mdash;big portions, decent polenta with mushrooms. Ticino Merlot went well with it. Staff left us alone mostly, which I liked.

The outdoor seating across from the lake is lovely. Staff made sure we were comfortable without hovering. Tuna tartare was good, pasta a bit heavy but fine.

Grabbed a few slices for lunch. Pizza held up well, even reheated some later at home. Still tasted good. Quick and easy, no fuss. If you&#39;re in the area and want a fast bite, this works.

Came here for a birthday dinner and honestly left impressed. The tasting menu had a few surprises I didn&rsquo;t expect, and the chef actually stopped by our table for a quick chat. That felt personal, not staged. Only downside: pacing was a bit slow between courses. But the food itself carried the night. Would come back for a quieter weekday visit.

The tiramisu was the highlight&mdash;rich, creamy, just right. Pasta and margherita pizza were solid too. Service quick and friendly, but definitely book ahead, place fills up fast.

Came here for a quick dinner and was happy with the freshness of the vegetables. They had a daily special with grilled fish and a side salad&mdash;simple but well done. The greens tasted like they were picked that morning. Portion was decent for the price. Service was fine, nothing fancy. I&rsquo;d go back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

Great spot for a quick bite. Tried their creative flavors, pretty solid. Service was fast, got my food in minutes. Place was clean too. Good for a lunch break.
