I wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars! The outside of the restaurant only has a…read moresmall collection of tables and doesn't seem like much. But the inside opens to a gorgeous space, so welcoming!! The staff was so helpful and kind. Attentive and sweet, I highly recommend venturing into the old city of Como to enjoy a meal here! We had a fixed menu (large group) that started with bruschetta or tuna carpaccio with onion jam. Both were incredible! Then for the main course I had a zucchini paccheri pasta with cherry tomatoes and gorgeous shrimp. My husband had lasagna bolognese. Everything was perfect. We ended with a yummy lemmonchello sorbet. 100% recommend!!

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!

OH wasn't this a fun lunch during our time on Lake Como!…read more So undecided while actually in Como, we ended up just picking the nearest side-walk open restaurant... we picked well! Hosterietta was a lovely decision! We decided to sit outside on a day where Satan had obvious controls of the thermostat. They were kind enough not to judge me for wiping the sweat from my brow so I didn't drip in my food. They brought me a fresh towel... and then likely judged me harshly behind closed doors... sorry folks, bad American manners but it was HOT! FORTUNATELY, they have lovely massive umbrellas outside to sit under, and they helped immensely! They have a wonderful menu, both in Italian and English. They have very accommodating staff that are quick to tell / share of their favorite menu items (I love it when they do this!). I actually chose my meal based on their recommendation. Forgive me for not remembering what I ordered. I did start with a salad... heads-up folks, if you start with a "starter salad"... it is enough for an entire meal! They recommended wine. The four of us planned to split one bottle... as you all can imagine... that didn't happen... after a few glasses each, we all left with smiles on our faces!

The lobster bisque is good, as previously reviewed. We order a delicious salad off the menu, which was also excellent with watercress, lettuce, carrots, cabbage, and tomatoes. The lobster ravioli was fine, not great. Same for the linguine with sea urchin. The pan seared branzino was fresh and good, nothing spectacular. Prices were very fair. The food is probably 3.5 star but the service was 5 so I'm giving them a 4 for the effort!

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.

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.
