Food is Beautiful and very tasty, and the view on the Lake and mountain I would call extraordinairy. I give this spot my highest recommendations. We will definetly re-visit next time we are here!

Previously, I was taken here by locals and the cuisine lived up to the hype. When I had some spare…read moretime in Lugano, I could not think of a better venue for lunch. Dine outside, if the weather permits, and enjoy the view of lovely Lake Lugano and the rolling house-speckled hills in between occasional interruptions by the armored G-wagons and super cars that the residents use to put around this picturesque town.

Now to the not so nice part: to be honest I believe they have way to much walk in tourists. The service in particular was very bad. Dishes and silver is just dropped on your table. When we made the waiter aware that we ordered the salad with french sauce (was coming with italian dressing), we got the very same salad back. It looked like they poured the whole bottle of french sauce over it. Recommendation: get an self-made ice cream next door (Gelateria artigianale) and spend your money somewhere else.

The location, a little bit off the tourist track of the village, has a privileged view, as it's looking towards the least narrow part of the lake compared to other places nearby. Also, being in the Arbòstora hillside, you get to enjoy the sun long after the village centre is in shadows. Nothing says slow living as an appetizer at sunset in a rustic villa-like restaurant. Straight to my favourites! Specially recommendable are the zander from the lake and the roasted lamb ribs, although I'm not sure whether the dishes are permanently on the menu. --- Update june'15. My recommendations have definitely changed: homemade "tris de pasta" (gnocchi in tomato sauce, plus spinach and ricotta ravioli in butter and salvia sauce, plus meat ravioli in cream sauce --oh my god) and the tartare (which has to be ordered one day in advance).

My daughter had the chicken yakitori and it was undercooked and a little bit bland. I had the tempura soba soup. The tempura was very good, but the soup broth was very greasy and very bland.
