Antica Osteria del Porto

Food was amazing, make sure to have a reservation ahead of time for big parties (duh) the portions are appropriate maybe not by american standards but my bf and I shared the Foul- it was amazing. App- Beef tatare, not the texture of ground beef so don't worry- very flavorful strong relish flavor to it? But delicious. Main- Foul, basically a half a chicken with potato hash and veghies. We added a side of friargielli- clocked well flavors were 🤌 Dessert- pistachio ice créme and the apple tart and the apple sorbét- amazing. Staff spoke english and were very accommodating! Ambiance was amazing we went in the evening and has a very esrthy,romantic vibe to it! Parking lot within walking distance

Perfect location with a view to the Lugano lake. Service was friendly. The antipasti we got was delicious (perch? tartare with asparagus) and dessert (apple pie with ice cream) was also really good. Main dish was ok - we got the polenta with Moscardini (mini octopus) and the anchovy burrata and bread. I think I just chose a dish I didn't enjoy too much, and the anchovy dish was a bit underwhelming for what it cost. Would come back though to try other dishes on the menu.

The pasta dishes were amazing (our group tasted almost all of them), rightly cooked al dente with tasty sauces and cheese. Atmosphere was great with nice lightening and background music. Its a perfect place for an easy but tasty meal out with friends and family.

It is one of the best spots in Lugano. I really like the food and the service is great

Wonderful place with a great interior, food and stuff. It has a very elegant and cozy design, lights in the evening male it magical. The stuff is very nice and attentive without pressure, they speak a good English. And of course food is delicious! Cacio e pepe pasta and lemon cake with limoncello cream made my evening!

Expensive, but simple and tasty food on a lunch visit. Nice surroundings, a bit quieter than the main parts of the town which is welcome. I would recommend a visit if you are in town.

Well located lovely outdoors n indoors dining area next to the park by the lakeside. It's romantic ,it's pretty. The food is very good .fish n chips fresh n crispy. Mushroom risotto. Steak n potatoes so beautifully cooked. Clams spaghetti is good . Wine is excellent. The desserts are also with nice touch . 5 star dining Normal swiss prices. Staff are all attentive ...very happy

Stumbled on this wonderful place as we left the bus from Menaggio, Italy. The place has a fun arty atmosphere, and amazing food (which you'll pay plenty for, given CHF / EUR / USA exchange rates). The cheeseburger special of the house is nothing short of divine - melted Gruyère cheese and caramelized onions similar to a great French onion soup, blanket a perfectly-grilled local Swiss beef patty. Possibly the greatest burger we've ever had!! We were in the mood for minestrone soup, which they didn't have on the menu that day, but they made a custom tomato soup just for us that was delicious! The house wine was terrific as well!
