"I can not say enough about our dinner here. Everything was so good from start to finish. We just stopped in after a late arrival to town, they sat us for dinner, translated the menu and gave us excellent descriptions of the dishes and where the ingredients came from. The meal was home made and fantastic, to include a tiramasu, made by the owner, that I’ll be dreaming about for awhile. The conversation, service and food were all top notch. Thank you for an amazing dinner!"

"Nothing other than five stars! Super friendly service, perfect drink suggestions (vino frizzante and Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) and what a wonderful meal. Starting off with the alici marinata and Olive all' Ascolana followed by Ravioli Ricotta and Tagliolini tartufo and an Israeli dessert with Ricotta and bitter chocolate. Everything home made. Just sensational. We will surely come back again!"

"You'll have food made from scratch that is made with locally grown vegetables and some dishes with honey made on property. All authentic made by mother and daughter for over 26 years. A good selection of wines enhances any dish. You'll also enjoy the views of Lake Lugano. They can translate all of their dishes into 4 languages and very reasonably priced! WOW!!!"

"Very good food with very friendly staff. This is a female owned business with a mother-daughter duo. The daughter is a very vibrant and cheerful woman that, without hesitation, translated the entire menu in English for us. They even produce their own honey made from bees kept on the mountainside! The dishes were well balanced in flavor and texture and I was very impressed. Usually I like to try several places in the area(s) that we are staying - - but this is one we will go to a few times before we leave."
