Awesome across the board. It was a busy night. They found a great table for four in short notice. Service was excellent. Food was spectacular for all of us. read more

Food and service thanks to Gio! Very busy night it looked like a full house but Gio was on top it. Early I saw him watching over the entire room and later when he asked about my dish and I said was disappointed with the very small mussels he agreed and brought the appropriate size ones out in addition! We had also had a bartender come over as the place was so busy and he took a few minutes to discuss the wine my wife and her daughter were having, We often come here on Sunday for brunch but this was the first time for dinner. We will definitely plan on coming again! read more

Food, service and overall experience were fantastic. Wait staff was attentive and allowed us to take our time and enjoy our meal. Cocktails were great. We ordered a Hugo spritz, grilled octopus, rice balls, chopped salad, penne vodka and a pasta dish with a truffle cream sauce, and a few other items. Wonderful dining experience read more

All good! The service,the food,the hospitality. I would recommend this restaurant. Comfortable atmosphere.

I came here recently for lunch with my family. I had the prosciutto panini. All the paninis come with a side of salad, which was very good. The panini had prosciutto, mozzarella, and tomato. I wish there had been more prosciutto and that the sandwich had been pressed longer/was hotter, but it wasn't bad. Beautiful interior of the restaurant and good service. read more

Came here the day after the blizzard and had a great time with the staff! Ordered 6 oysters, kale caesar salad, tuna tartare, and rigatoni alla vodka. Everything was amazing and came out fast. Joe was a very welcoming and friendly host and Kris was very attentive behind the bar. I would definitely come back! read more

Cute interior and friendly service. Food was much better than anticipated. Menu is varied so will def be coming back to try more items. Tried the eggplant rollatini which was good but a bit too much cheese. Lobster fettuccine and gnocchi sorrento were cooked perfectly. Gnocchi wasn't too mushy and sauce was great. Tiramisu for dessert was yum. read more

We came for the weekend to Greenwich, the restaurant was very close to the hotel so we decided to try it the service and hostess very good, the food was good enough that i would consider to come back, but the music was tecno for an Italian restaurant, so we wanted to get out of there . they want to attract young people. but the crowd there was 50's and up. read more

Happy Hour FTW! We stopped by to have an after-work drink, and we loved it! We sidled up to the bar ordered a half dozen raw oysters, the tuna tartare, and the fig bruschetta. Everything was delicious! And the drink deals were amazing. Having a Sangiovese at happy hour prices was mind blowing- you never see that on a happy hour menu! O The staff were attentive and were quick with both our drinks and food. Look-wise, Lugano has a definite New York feel. Clean and well-lit with an old school vibe. Super happy with Lugano, and we will certainly be back! read more

A reliable standby. While it can get loud at certain times, a nice, lively atmosphere. I recommend the Sunday gravy and the steak sandwich. Place is clean. Call ahead when possible, as that's sometimes required. read more

This restaurant was always a great spot for us on a date night. The service was always very good but last night on Valentine's Day, I was shocked to see how it's changed and not for the better. We waited over 35 minutes for our entrée and the staff seemed very confused. They sat us down and a waiter came out was giving us dessert she obviously had the wrong table. It's sad to see how the services has declined. read more

We hosted an event here and they made us feel as welcome as a Sunday night dinner with family. I loved the Old Fashioned drink they poured. A healthy portion as they say too. Then the apps they delivered for us were delish. The lamb burger sliders were my favorite but the cheese and meat platter was a hit too. Friendly attentive service too. Really enjoyed it. read more

Last night was Christmas eve. But not for me and my family of 7. The owner himself decided me and my precious family would not be allowed to enjoy ourselves this christmas eve. We booked a reservation at this establishment expecting to have a lovely dinner at 7:30. We sat around for 20 minutes. Still no table. He gave us the run around until a small 4 person table opened up. He added some chairs (which seem to be made of the perfect combination of materials to make my ass feel like its going to fall off) to a 4 person table. So my family of 7 are now sitting at a table for 4. We were just greatful to be sitting. He offered us cheap wine to try to win us over. My grandfather was satisfied saving a few bucks on is pinot grigio. But that satisfaction slowly melted away and we proceed to wait 2 whole hours for our meal. Yes. 2 whole hours. The salads came out at the hour 45 mark. Two. Whole. Hours. Was the food good? Sure. It was "good". Would i brag about it? No. The service at this restaurant blew me away. Ive never had to be so self reliant. If I needed water all I had to do was beg for it. If I needed silverware all I had to do was stand up and hunt around the restaurant to find a table with extra utensils. Table getting too cluttered from unused plates and glasses? I was faced with the thrilling challenge of stacking and maneuvering. Truly a night of valuable lessons. This restaurant gives you a true sense of independence. To wrap this up id like to address the owner himself. I believe he was the owner. The man with glasses and troubled eyes. He held a great attitude throughout the entire 3 hours my family was trapped there. While we begged and pleaded for atleast a scrap of food. He kept his composure and promptly reassured us "5 more minutes". Ive never seen so many 5 minutes in my life. But he had a lot of them. I respect him for it. If you and your family are looking for a great place to waste soooo much time. Even lose a few brain cells. Possibly leave with a sore ass. Lugano's seems like the place to punish yourself..... I may even take a bath with my toaster today. Little Christmas treat read more

Would not order from here again...they used to have a great penne vodka and chicken limone, but in our most recent takeout order the food was mediocre at best, and the chicken in the pasta was 10 little bits not nice grilled chicken they used to have (definitely not worth $30). Chicken Limone was not good either, super greasy. read more

Been coming here for years but won't anymore. Power went out and we were told we had to leave our credit card number to pay for the bill or pay in cash or else we couldn't leave. We didn't want to leave our credit card number and we didn't have cash. We offered to venmo someone that works there and they could pay the Restaurant after. They refused. They Told us to go to an atm for cash. WTF!? Why would I be inconvenienced to go get cash when I offered you Venmo to pay. They acted like we were criminals over a $100 tab. On top of it, they didn't even offer a discount after we had to eat in the dark. I'm sorry, I never leave bad reviews and I used to love it here but NOT after today. read more

Came here for lunch last Friday. I heard dinner can get really busy and loud so I can only speak from my linch experience. The staff promptly greeted and showed me to where my party was already seated. The restaurant seemed cozy and nice enough where you could dress up or casual. The server made some good suggestions, I ended up going with the bolognese which I thoroughly enjoyed! I make my own pasta from scratch frequently and have traveled all throughout Italy so I am quite picky. The fettuccini noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and I liked they were thinner than some places I have been. Sauce was perfect and not too acidic which some sauces can often be. The portion sizes are quite large so definitely enough for leftovers which I always appreciate. The pricing is definitely more on the pricier end which I expected but it was also worth the money for what seemed like quality! The presentation of all our dishes were so beautiful too. Really enjoyed the tartufo dessert. I will need to come back next time I'm in Greenwich! read more

Terrible service, terrible food. Interesting bar but that's about. Very disappointing experience. So many other quality paces in the area. This place won't last long. Pasta was like soup. Salad had so much dressing on it! They never gave us bread. read more

This review will be a bit shorter than usual. I went here with a group of people (two of whom were regulars) and didn't take out my phone for any photos of the food, nor did I write down what we ordered. What I can say is the tapas are fantastic! My main dish, Pappardelle Scarpariello, was decent. It didn't blow me away but the serving was large so I saved half of it for lunch the next day. The venue was quite loud for dinner and we had to talk even louder to hear each other. Despite drinking a ton of water throughout the night (which the wait staff kept filled along with placing pitchers on the table) I still left with a raw throat. I would love to come back and try some of the salami... but maybe during lunch time. read more

Lugano - Entrance - Italian Near Me - Greenwich, Connecticut

We attended a rehearsal party at Lugano's and were impressed by the service, ambiance, and menu offerings. The staff did a wonderful job catering to our party of 40. The brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious, however we were disappointed by the quaint and cold eggplant rollatini appetizer. The penne alla vodka was top notch, creamy and topped with basil. The chicken scarpiello and steak entrees were wonderfully prepared. The tiramisu was perfectly fluffy and flavorful. We hope to return to Luganos again for date night or dinner with friends. read more

We totally found the perfect leave when we were in town. We were staying at the Hyatt hotel in Greenwich Connecticut. It is a 5 min walk from the hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great. They could accommodate 6 no problem. Their menus is extensive any thing you could possibly want is on there. Here are some pictures of our dishes.. enjoy and aloha to all! read more

Bit disappointed that the brunch menu on their website (last updated Aug, 2022) was not up to date. We went for the bottomless brunch drinks only to find that they are now family style. This means a bottle of champagne for the table with the mixer you request for $18.50. The brunch food prices were also much higher than listed online and for two it came out to around $70 before tip. An example was lobster benedict was $19.50 online but in reality was $24. Lobster was okay, bit chewy but there was a decent amount. Eggs were poached well & hollandaise sauce was made well. Served with arugula salad in a light lemon dressing & fried potato pieces. Waffle, $17.50 was served with strawberries and blackberries and two eggs with two sausage links. Syrup served was "Chef's Quality" pre-packaged breakfast syrup which I was surprised by as the restaurant seemed fancier than that! Flavor of waffle was pretty good not the usual diner batter. They offer outdoor seating with heat lamps! Bathrooms were clean, they also have pull for help cords in case of emergency. read more

Exceptional Italian restaurant and wine bar known for their tapas and salumeria. Food (5/5 Stars): Delicious lunch and dinner menu offering tapas, meatballs, salad, pasta, and entrees. We typically start off with the meatball tasting (beef, turkey, and spicy beef) and several of their tasty tapas including the Truffle Mac & Cheese, Fig Bruschetta, Mussels, and Arancini. The handmade pastas are my go-to order - my favorites have been the Fettuccine Bolognese, Penne Alla Vodka with Chicken, and Linguini Carbonara. They have an amazing happy hour every day from 3-6pm which includes discounted food and drinks. The restaurant also offers a 2-3 course prix fixe menu for both lunch and dinner. Drink (4/5 Stars): Extensive (and reasonably priced) wine list from Italy and beyond. They have a 1/2 off bottles of wine special, and $6 glasses during happy hour (+ $7 cocktails and $4 beers). Service (4/5 Stars): Very friendly and fast service. I had to wait longer than expected for a takeout order once and was given a free glass of wine for the trouble. Atmosphere (4/5 Stars): Can get quite noisy during busy hours. Open layout, plenty of indoor seating, some outdoor seating during warmer months, and easy parking next door. read more

Went there for dinner and it was amazing. I had the Carbonara (they have gluten free pasta) & my husband had the lamb chops. Service was great and ambiance was very comfortable.

Very good meatball sampler! I wish the waiter told us which meatball was which! Very good vibes and service was okay. Had an old fashioned and it was so bitter! The waiter didn't come by to ask if I liked my drink so I just dealt with it! I would go back though, just another drink option would be chosen..hostess was very kind/welcoming. read more

I must have passed this place many of times. Never noticed it. Boy was I missing out! The menu was really intense! Nice cocktails, tapas, Raw Bar, salads then main courses! So much to chose from! Made it difficult to pick. We started with the truffle Mac and cheese that was excellent. Then we had a chopped salad and clams casino. The clams had a unique flavor to them, maybe smoked? Excellent! Then we split the chicken scarpriello. It was really good! Our server was very good. She was attentive to us. This restaurant was a pretty nice size, with a nice size bar. read more

I have been to Lugano's several times, even though the food is good and it can be a bit loud , the reason I am leaving this review is that they say "takeout" but it depends on their mood. More than twice I called for take out and I was told they are too busy to accommodate. That's ridiculous and unprofessional. Do not offer if you can't provide. BS !! read more

Came here in early February 2024 for my birthday dinner. Found a bug in my food. I ordered the black linguine with seafood. My waiter said he told the manager and never did. we approached the manager when we received our bill. Not only did he not take off my birthday cake. Which I did not even want after seeing a bug in my food. He only took off the meal that I ate. The manager offered us all free dessert. However, I did not eat it. My guests and husband took them home. very disappointed as I came Christmas Eve and the food was phenomenal. I think I am more upset that the waiter lied about telling the manager about the bug in my food and also disgusted that the only thing they took off the bill was my meal. The manager tried to offer us drinks at first. I had 3 young children with us under the age of 5, and I advised the manager. We were already here for 3 hours. It's time for us to go home it's late. You would think they would have taken more off of the bill for finding a crawling bug in my food. Not a fly, a crawling black bug all over my seafood and spaghetti. Disappointed read more

Our meal was AWFUL - one dish was totally inedible. No one seemed to care. When the waiter finally came to clean up our dishes, he never mentioned the full plate of uneaten food. The service was slow, frenetic and generally terrible. We waited over 20 minutes for a waiter to take our order. The ambiance was very loud because of tables placed too close to each other and that made it uncomfortable. I would not recommend this restaurant ever. read more

The MGR needs a personality. This man is in the wrong business. He served me at the bar as if he was doing me a favor. Very unpleasant . When you go out for a coctail to a bar you want to see smiling faces. He needs to be clued in. read more

Excellent food, nice service and fun ambiance. Friday/Sat nights have live music and dancing if you stay after 9pm

I've visited this place a handful of times and each time it has been nothing short of amazing! They have a wide selection of both appetizers and meals along with a extensive wine selection. Literally the only negative is that parking is limited. For appetizers, I would highly recommend the selezione (charcuterie board). They offer 3 sizes, each give you a generous portion if you're with a group. Oysters on the half shell, truffle mac & cheese, and meatballs are all very good as well. For wine, do not sleep on the montepulciano if you like a good red. Their rioja is also very good. For entrees, we basically visit specifically for the grilled baby lamb chops because they are beyond excellent. I have also enjoyed the spicy shrimp and scallops. If you are looking for high quality italian food, you need to visit Lugano! read more
