What took us to this restaurant in the first place is parking space... we wanted to go to few other…read morerestaurants but we quickly learnt that parking can be a nightmare in Lugano. We called, booked a reservation, drove to Tabla. Found immediate parking in front of the restaurant. As soon as we entered we were greeted, seated and service began promptly. Ambiance was good. We decided to try the 6 course vegetarian tasting menu and to our surprise the food was delicious!! We did not expect to have such delicious, flavourful food in Lugano. We started with samosa which had a very unique flavour, that set the course for what to expect from the experience. Our favourite was their version of Dosa and the vegan rose kulfi. Least favourite was dahi puri. Everything else tasted... (is sophisticated a word that can be used to describe flavour? Then that would be it) Overall we loved it! Gagan was kind to come and introduce himself and make sure everything went well. If you visit Lugano, definitely give this place a try!

Wow. Just wow. Best spaghetti ever. It was prepared right at our table in a huge cheese wheel with…read morebasil, cherry tomatoes and was so rich and delicious! Had their house red (medium finish), Dieci Monferrato Rosso, for about 10euro - you cannot beat this. Guests drank the whole bottle and literally ran a marathon the next day. This was delicious with our pasta and would go perfectly with any meats. Amazing and perfect meal in Milan! The service was impeccable and staff was super kind.

Since Mink did such a good job picking a restaurant for dinner, I asked her to pick a restaurant…read morefor lunch the next day while I explored around Parco Sempione. She found Nerino Dieci but they were about to close for lunch so we rushed over. We got there with time to spare. The bartender greeted us right away and asked if we had reservations. We didn't so we stood in line to be seated with everyone who didn't have reservations. The place was full! When you enter, you immediately see their bar area. To your left, as you face the dining area, you see the grilling area. It's very clean and organized! It didn't take too long to be seated and we were happy they could take us so close to closing. We were provided English menus. Since we had time to check out their offerings online while we waited for a table, we had screenshots of what we wanted. It was a little hard to find the corresponding menu item with the screenshots at first. Our server came over and took our order when we looked confident with what we wanted to order. Just to be safe, we also shared photos to minimize errors. We ordered a Tagliolini with Clams and Spicy Salami, Tonnarelli with Cheeses, Pepper and Bacon, Milanese Veal Cutlet with Rocket and Cherry Tomatoes, Natural Microfiltered Draft Water and a Glass of House Red Wine. Our server asked how we wanted the food to come out and we said all together. It didn't take the bar long to get our drinks to us. After some conversation, our food arrived and it looked amazing! The Tagliolini with Clams and Spicy Salami along with the Milanese Veal Cutlet with Rocket and Cherry Tomatoes arrived first. Minutes later, the Tonnarelli with Cheeses, Pepper and Bacon arrived. The clams in Mink's dish were very tasty and the pasta had a slight kick to it through its sauce. We both really enjoyed the cutlet and completely finished it. It was huge so that surprised us that we finished the plate. The Cacio e Pepe was very cheesy and rich. It was really good but heavy. The food is delicious here and we can see why they have earned so many good reviews. Good customer service from the entire staff and they work nonstop due to how busy they are with the lunch rush. Another awesome find by Mink.

We did not get offered a menu nor a wine list despite this being a wine bar. My friend ordered a glass of Champagne and I a glass of red wine. I was not asked what varietal. The waiter announced a Merlot and went on his way. There was a food menu on the wall. A pasta with a tomato sauce and meat balls was listed but the waiter said they could also do an Arrabbiata. I ordered the latter, I got the former. It was still good but not what I ordered. My friend's bruschetta was good. We were worried about a glass of champagne, but the price ended up very reasonable.

Front of house was excellent. Beautiful restaurant and setting. Friendly and attentive staff…read more Food was pretentious, overpriced, and above all, very poorly executed. Eggplant was decent but a little dated in plating. Nest was not cold or warm and the "perfectly cooked egg" as described was undercooked by a lot. Clear uncooked egg white. Fish of the day was good but they included a component that was on the allergens we informed them of. Also the veges were overstated by a lot. Pork dish was tasty, but just two bites. This was sold as a secondi. 40 euro for two bites of essentially a meatball, and it was smaller than even an appetizer should be. Ridiculous. This smelled of a chef in love with his "creativity and training" and not thinking about the customer. Change the chef. I would gladly pay these prices for better portions and more importantly better execution
