"Restaurant in a nice setting, welcoming waiters and fast service. The dishes were very good, perhaps a little problem with the potatoes, they didn't have much flavor and seemed reheated. We ate the cordon bleu and the chicken and shrimp pasta, delicious and served very generously."

"Beautiful place, very quiet because it is out of the way. Excellent food and very honest prices! We returned several times in the summer to enjoy the fresh air grown on the plants. Thank you!!! We'll be back"

"The Tartare Burger by La Fermata is the best burger in the world and of all time. Point. If you are pregnant and need to avoid raw meat, Smash is excellent. A hair below, but still excellent, the household hamburger. Cisunami is a senseless exaggeration to be ordered only for fun purposes. It's possible that the rest of the menu is valid, but every time I go in, I have a moral obligation to order the Tartare Burger. The chips should be taken normal (without grain and without splashes of truffle oil). Coleslaw only if you have strange feelings of guilt about fried foods. The service is ok. Some waiters are friendlier than others, but who cares because only the Tartare Burger matters."

"Wie es so ist im Tessin mindestens einmal in ein schönes Grotto... Bei einer Fahrt mit dem Cabrio haben wir dieses entdeckt und für den Abend reserviert. Bei Ankunft war die Reservation irgendwie vergessen, man wollte uns als Paar an einen runden 6er Tisch setzten danach habe wir dann doch noch einen einigermaßen schönen Tisch bekommen. Als Beilagen gab es Kartoffeln, Risotto und Polenta auf der Karte. Beim Bestellen wurde uns dann mitgeteilt (wir waren sehr früh dort so gegen 8 Uhr und nur wenig Leute) das es weder Risotto noch Polenta mehr gibt Ausverkauft! Hallo? Das in einem Grotto? Nicht mal eine Erklärung dazu, oder das man mit Wartezeit auf ein Risotto warten kann, nichts! Gab es kein Reis mehr? Also ich verstehe das absolut nicht... Die Portion des bestellten Essens war klein, entsprechend schnell war das essen vorbei, der Service war solala. (Danach gingen wir nochmals essen, weil wir noch Hunger hatten.)Die Weinkacheln habe ich mit einem Aschenbecher verwechselt weil die Ränder abgeschlagen waren und die Glasur defekt war an x Stellen. Ein wirklich sehr enttäuschenden Besuch."

"Some really cool vegan options (also vegetarian ones) : Fajitas, Burger, Sushis, Indian curry, starters like Guacamole, Hummus, Edamame, Miso soup etc. Food was beautifully presented in the plates, and was super yummy. Service was very friendly, in a great mood, and made an effort to speak our language as we weren’t speaking Italian. Thank you Sophie. Atmosphere super cozy. Good prices. Would definitely go again."

"Das Essen war sehr gut. Wir aßen von der indischen Spezialitäten, die alle aus unserer Gruppe sehr gut bewertet. Die Portionen waren mehr als ausreichend. Und wenn wir mehr Reis fragte kam es schnell. Der unaufdringliche aber aufmerksame Service war sehr zu schätzen. Wir saßen draußen auf Tabla ist groß und ansprechend Terrasse, die Fronten im Hauptrestaurant. Niemand drängte uns aus, als wir mit dem Essen fertig. So haben wir eine lange Zeit am Tisch unterhalten und viel Spaß gehabt. Es war nicht eine günstige Übernachtung, aber angesichts der Qualität, es war es wert. Sehr empfehlenswert!"

"Tolles Hotel, freundliches Personal, angenehmes Ambiente, tolle Aussicht, super Essen. In Kurz; wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt. Besonders das tolle Frühstücksbuffet und Abendessen haben wir gut in Erinnerung, es hat sehr gut geschmeckt. 1 Stern Abzug weil man die Zimmernachbarn sehr gut hört. Wir hatten bereits geschlafen und sind wegen den Nachbarn wieder erwacht, Lärmschutz könnte somit besser sein."

"Absolutely fantastic. Super friendly, outgoing engaging staff. Really nice relaxed dining suitable for a special occasion or for the family. All meals we have tried have been 100% on point and as good as you will find the pizza alone is brilliant! Don't hesitate, you'll thank yourself afterwards."

"There is nothing to say, the quality of the food is always at the TOP. The points are excellent, the welcome is good and the staff are friendly, of course the only flaw is that being a small place inside, finding a place and booking is a real challenge... Prices appropriate to the quality of the food offered."

"Really excellent pizzeria by the slice near the centre, one of the few places to grab a quick bite to eat in Lugano that is also open on Sundays. Welcoming and pleasant environment, really excellent prices and different flavors also suitable for vegetarians/vegans. The pizza is made with quality dough, digestible and prepared with care."

"Very good pizza despite its low price. I had a marinara, it was excellent, tasty, the tomato puree cooked and tasty just right. Waiter available. The view is top even if there is the road in between. Place very popular with families and perhaps zero tourists (super positive point). Price not excessively high for the place."

"Nice and expensive place! haha but we have to expect it given the area! We went with friends and tried the fondue chinoise, I must say that it is a very varied dish due to the various sauces and combinations that can be made, therefore promoted! You can reorder dishes such as rice and meat at will and there is the possibility of choosing, at the time of booking, the type of meat you will eat. With wine and water we paid 60 euros each, but we ate a lot. Very friendly staff and attentive to requests. I recommend it to you."

"Siamo arrivati in 4 alle 19.00 come primi clienti. Sono io a capo della cena. Aveva un aperitivo. Nel frattempo 20 persone sono arrivate in pochi minuti tra un gruppo e l'altro. Cenavano prima di noi. Abbiamo aspettato più di un'ora per mangiare 2 piatti di riso e filetti di perch, carne di agnello e pera lucida al cartoccio."

"Our experience here was decent at best. It was a bit pricey but everything in Lugano is expensive so it is to be expected. My girlfriend was disappointed they do not serve their piadini with fresh mozzarella during the week. She ordered the grilled vegetable sandwich, but the veggies were cold. I ordered the bresola sandwich, this was much better."

"we eat two very good and very cheap pizzas. our Italian AirBnb host had recommended us this restaurant (yet only for pizzas).The pizzas were very good, but unfortunately the service was anything but friendly. the one waiter was a bit overturned and loud and gave us the worst place of all pizzeria in a dark corner "i’ll give you the best place, the president’s place." a comic who probably doesn’t hold much of tourist;-)."

"Family-friendly prices, quick service, large selection. Interesting beer selection. It's a shame that not all of the ingredients listed on the menu (ordered accordingly) were served. Beer deliveries (ordering complicated or delivered differently than ordered) are likely to be much better suited to the offer."
"Very rushed service. No time between meals. Even if it means taking the plate and not finishing the customers. Plus we paid more than we owed."

"Generous portions, extensive menu with a varied selection of hamburgers and interesting recommendations from the chef, we arrived without a reservation and they very kindly gave us a table in the middle of the room on the left side, the team was very friendly and always ready, a pleasant and jovial atmosphere with good music, very consistent with the place. (Photo of the dessert was missing, but it was so good that we forgot to take it"
