What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lanchetta Lounge Bar & Pinsa is lauded for its stunning lakeside location and beautiful terrace, offering a relaxing ambiance and lovely views of Lugano Lake. While the food and drinks receive praise, particularly pizzas and cocktails, some diners find the service inconsistent and portions small for the price. The atmosphere is generally pleasant, especially after renovations, making it a popular spot for breakfast, aperitivo, and meals.
"Great food, great restaurant, beautiful view, fast and professional service. Even though I wanted to give less stars because of the prices ...but we need to be fair. This is Lugano and you pay everywhere a bunch of money.
Here at least you get the whole experience. Great restaurant."

"This place is an absolute gem right by the lake in Lugano. We sat on the terrace, just a few meters from the water, surrounded by beautiful trees and an incredible view—it honestly couldn’t have been more relaxing.
We came for a late breakfast and ordered the avocado toast and pancakes with syrup. Both were outstanding. The avocado toast was served on freshly baked and toasted bread that was so flavorful, and the avocado was creamy and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were so good we actually asked for the recipe—light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness.
Everything from the setting to the food was exceptional. Highly recommend if you're in Lugano and want to enjoy a delicious meal with a stunning lakeside view."

"I had lunch here with my wife we served garlic pasta with duck ragu and octopus with grilled vegetables. The food was amazing and full of taste, also the serving was remarkable, Claudia took care of us since we came and until we left. I will definitely come back."
