Grottino 1313

We had an amazing experience dining here!The food is served family style with a preset menu every night, which was so unique and fun! All of the courses were fresh and delicious, and the service was excellent. We did not have dietary restrictions, but they were happy to accommodate if needed.

This place was SO good, that I almost don’t want to tell my friends about it, so I can make it “my” secret special place I take people to for a surprise and WOW experience. The atmosphere is so relaxed, traditional, romantic. Even the music is tasteful and relaxing. The servers are extremely friendly but very calm - so you just feel very welcome and homely. The food is absolutely amazing. There isn’t one thing, that didn’t knock me off my feet. Came here for the first time today, and immediately knew this is gonna be “my” place from now on.

Wow. Knock my socks off with the cool, antique/ shabby chic, romantic, rustic, warmly lit, friendly decor in a warehouse neighborhood. Knock them off once more with the overly welcoming wait staff and “surprise” menu. Vegetarians prepare to be treated well. So much delicious food. Roasted beet and apple soup, lovely and not boring salad, vegetable pasta with peas, mushrooms, cheese… Main course with a divine sauce over some sort of lentil cake, potatoes, carrots, rosemary. We had to say no to one of the sour cherry and cream desserts because we were over satisfied and quite full. Of course there was a sweet message at the end that arrived with the bill. We cannot wait to come back.

We had high hopes for this restaurant, given the positive reviews. Sadly, it turned out to be a very hot day, making for an uncomfortable experience in the outdoor seating area (but it probably would have been worse inside). No fault of the restaurant. The soup was very good, salad was decent, pasta was tasty and well-cooked. But the main meat course was a bit dry and the meat had tendons running through it (after you cut them out, there wasn't a lot of meat left). The dessert was just okay.

Very nice brunch with 2 nice warm dishes plus unlimited buffet with cold plate, fresh bread, fresh juice and dessert and hot tea!

We loved this place! The food was incredible and the price for a prefixed menu was extremely fair. We got wine and enjoyed a soup, salad, pasta course, main, and dessert for about $70 per person. This might be my favorite restaurant in the world. MUST COME HERE!

Go out of your way for 1313. Great outdoor lunch on sunny afternoon. All courses were excellent and the service was excellent. Trying to recreate the salad at home, it was so good. Excellent red bell pepper soup also.

Where have you been all my life? This place is one of the best places to go for date night. Don’t take the kids, it’s not worth it to waste it on them. The service is awesome, food is amazing, and the vibe cannot be replicated. I have never seen anything like it before, so unique. Highly recommend!

We had reservations in advance so I'd recommend them on the weekend - it was Easter weekend for us. I only imagine this place is just as beautiful when the weather is nicer out. Ambiance is rustic - good for groups of 8 or less or even just two people. Warm and cozy space as if you were at home. It was a set menu with salad/soup, pasta, main and dessert and/or cheese for dinner. I loved the fact that it was family style. So I maybe wouldn't choose this place if you have picky eaters. The salad was fantastic. Loved the dressing. The soup for me was the selling point. We had a root vegetable soup that was aromatic, creamy, a slight kick. The pasta was a Bolognese where I loved the chilis that they added. For the main, they were serving veal on a risotto and carrots. The meat was tender and flavorful. The chocolate mousse was rich, creamy and the creme balanced out the sweetness. Now, my group finished eating and decided we'd come back for lunch a few days later because the menu is never the same. Lunch is a little different with dinner as you can choose either pasta or the business lunch. We opted to do two servings of business lunch and one of the pasta so we could recreate the similar family-esque dinner style. We had a potato soup with salmon bits for lunch. Next was a pesto pasta with garlic and ricotta cheese. Not that the Bolognese wasn't good, but I loved this pasta. So fresh, and the flavors melded so well. We had a beef cut with purple rice and veggies. I loved the Char on this cut of meat. And lastly for dessert, I had panna cotta with a rhubarb compote that was so creamy, not overly sweet and had maybe a twist with a hint of cinnamon? You really can't go wrong here. If I came back to Lucerne, I'd be back here! Service was stellar-we actually had the same waitress for both meal services and was phenomenal. She gave great wine recommendations.

My sister recommended this restaurant for me and my wife. She set up the reservation for us. There's no menu....it's a set up course meal! They were FANTASTIC! Good was so GOOD! We are stuffed to the max! Great service too!! I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

My husband and I went to Switzerland and Italy for 2 weeks and this was by far the best dining experience we had during our travels. We knew it was a set menu, making it more fun to be served what the Chef was preparing for the evening. The restaurant was lovely and quaint...the fire burning in the fireplace and the lit candles on the table made it the perfect setting. The food was delicious from the first course to the last. The service was fabulous (the "bye friends") from across the restaurant when we left made us wish we lived closer so we could go back weekly!

Solid Italian food in an incredibly charming and rustic environment. The restaurant is off the beaten path but you will not be disappointed. Ask for the pasta special and homemade sorbet in between meals to clean your palette: highly recommended.

This probably the best place I've ever been in Switzerland. It's an Italian restaurant with a wonderful concept. They don't have real menu, each day you would have different dishes. It would be 4-5 course dinner with a fix price and you can eat as much as you want. We had soup and salad as a starter, pasta with cream souse as a first dish, for the main course was polenta with beef, cheese plate and berry mousse. Everything was delicious! It's better to make a reservation in advance. We will come back here next time we are in Luzern.

We had a wonderful time and the food was delicious. The staff was very hospitable and spoke English, which was nice for us. Recommend getting a reservation and sitting on the patio. Love the inside as well. A little bit off the beaten path, but worth it.

Delicious and fun menu. Every coarse was brilliant and full of flavor. The menu changes every day and there is not a regular dinner menu. Some highlights we had were pumpkin soup, tuna spaghetti, and veal. Everything was really tasty. I thought they could improve on communication; we weren't sure what extras cost what so our bill was somewhat of a surprise in terms of what the wine cost and also the water is not free and is a little pricey. However, just ask about everything if you're unsure of the price. It is well worth the cost and may well be the most delicious meal you can find in the region.
