I Due Sud, Ristorante a Lugano

The food is absolutely amazing. Michelin does this place a disservice rating it at one star. A very solid 2 star in my opinion. Add the lakeside view and it is hard to beat. Superb wine pairing using local and South Italian wines.

Excellent food with outstanding and unique wine pairing … the infusion bong with fennel and licorice was a nice way to end your dining experience.

We have eaten in many michelin restaurants all over the world and I Due Sud rates in the top three. Wonderful talented chef - surely a 2 star is beckoning!

The restaurant is very nice, classic interior. The food was really good but the it took 3 hours to serve 7 course menu - in my opinion it is too much, sometimes the pause between courses was up to 20-25 min. The service was overall ok, a couple of times I had the water glass empty and the bottle far away.

This experience was remarkable from start to finish. The service was impeccable, the food was creative and unbelievably delicious, and the ambience on the lake front is perfect. Highlights were the octopus appetizer (superbly well balanced), focaccia with tomato sauce (melted in the mouth, bursting with flavor), and the most exquisitely simple but luscious pasta dressed subtly with light tomato sauce. Chamomile tea in a siphon-style percolator was a beautiful bit of theater in between the main courses and dessert courses and the perfect non-alcoholic digestif. I would highly recommend this restaurant in all respects. Our favorite experience while in Europe (out of four different Michelin star-ranked restaurants).
