A fellow Yelper noted, in a 2014 review, that the (Italian speaking) staff never rushed her and her b/f out, even though closing time had come and gone. That, we discovered, is because you are treated as honored guests in the home of the Chef/Proprietor and his daughter (who was our lovely server). A friendly chat revealed that the Chef, hailing from Messina, Sicily, had toiled for 13 years helping to build the reputation of Lugana, before purchasing this magnificent gem earlier this year.
Alongside the warm greeting and service, we enjoyed an excellent starter salad and a lovely Insalata Caprese. My main course, a "blackboard special" of a ziti noodle with beef, and a "natural" sauce, was delicious, and highly recommended (if available). My business colleague's seafood pasta was also excellent. Although I didn't have a great deal of room for dessert and cappuccino, I'm glad that I pushed the envelope; as the home-made Tiramisu was the perfect ending for a delightful meal. Easy access via foot, tram, or taxi, with municipal parking on the street, in front, and a municipal parking garage close by.
