Grotto della Salute

Fantastic Swiss - Italian cuisine and the best local product prepared and served by a very professional team! I love pasta selections, especially during truffle season. Good vine selection from their cellar. Book your table for dinner; otherwise will be difficult to find any accessible place.

It’s ridiculous that we found this place cause our train to Milan got canceled and we had to stick around a night in Lugano. It looked cozy on the pictures, and only upon arrival did we notice it’s mention in the Bib Gourmand. And it was fantastic! From the ambience, to the suggested wine pairing, to the entire dinner and desert. I love this place.

Lovely villa, incredible service, wonderful wine, and great parking. Nizzola salad could serve 4 or a main for 2.

TL;DR: High quality, consistent food. Good service but is slow if restaurant is busy. Nice outdoor seating area. Call to book a table if you want to come on the weekend. Nice restaurant located above the centre. Parking can be a bit tight but there are spots available right in front of the restaurant. The restaurant itself has three different menus. A menu for all seasons, a seasonal menu, and a menu of the day that changes every three days or so. I have been here multiple times and must say that the food itself is consistently good and a cut above most other restaurants in Lugano no matter what you decide to order. Additionally, the prices are quite reasonable and are in line with the other restaurants that you will find in Lugano. The service is very well mannered and hospitable but a bit slow when the place gets busy, which tends to happen on Friday and Saturday nights. You will need to reserve if you want to find a seat on these two days. There is outdoor seating that has you sitting in a garden sort of area with nice trees that have lamps hanging from them and gives off a very cosy vibe.

I had such a lovely experience in this restaurant. The staff friendly and well-informed. The menu was translated and explained to me in English. The food was out of this world. The portions were plenty , the ingredients are fresh and authentic. The plates were cooked and served with love. P.s. You must reserve a table.

Most spectacular grotto with seasoned and kind staff and delicious Italian food! Highly recommend !

While visiting Lugano, we ordered takeaway for diner as the restaurants are currently closed by law. We got the pumpkin raviolis, they were delicious, probably the best raviolis in our lives! The lasagnas were also highly recommended. The person we got on the phone and who also came for the pickup was super nice and spoke very good English. The restaurant looks very charming, with traditional interior and spacious exterior seating. We cannot wait for the restaurant to be able to open again to also enjoy the dining experience. It also looks like the perfect place for weddings or other events.

one of my favorite restaurant. unbelievable good food and beautiful outdoor seating. I highly recommend the Grotto della Salute.

Really delicious food! Friendly and professional service! They have a fireplace upstairs. There is also a terrace open in summer. An exceptional wine there to try: Riflessi d'Epoca
