Lost in the middle of nowhere, impossible to get there without a car. When we arrived, we were indicated our table but not escorted to it. We had to wait a long while before we got the menus. And then a waiter quickly passed by to drop a bread basket but no one stopped to ask us if we wanted to something to drink. Before we even ordered our food, a waiter brought two amuse-bouche and walked away as fast as he came. We had to call him back and ask him what it was. He answered: “Some cream with cucumber.” That’s specific. Only after we ordered, the main waiter came to our table and asked if we wanted some wine. I would have expected the wine menu to come along with the food menu... Anyways, we had a long hike so we decided to stick to water. As a starter, I ordered a tartare. While the vegetable cream it was laid on was very good as well as the couple of vegetables in the plate, the tartare itself was merely two balls of raw meat. Seasoned, but that’s it. I’m used to having it mixed with herbs, onions, capers, perhaps some gherkins too. Here nothing. I was therefore disappointed. The other dishes were good but somewhat forgettable. The waiters were running around but always seemed not to notice us and we struggled to get the check. When we got it, we had to call someone to pay by card as nobody paid attention to us after the check was dropped. The service was painful I must confess. Net, we were very disappointed and we left as soon as the meal was over.
Was definitely the best choice to say goodbye this holidays in Lugano. The view is unbelievable. The sunset unforgettable, the wine (Bianca Maria my favourite) we tried a few. And the food everything so fresh, natural and beautiful. Sure it is not a restaurant to go daily for us it is for a memorable moment and to keep as a special place. Staff very friendly and helpful so we just hope to repeat next time we visit Lugano.
Travel with the Armin White Glove Sommelier and enjoy excellent Wine and Food Experiences. With my guests from the US we discovered the Ticino Wine Region and had a wonderful Wine Food Pairing Lunch at Ristorante Vicania. Their Merlot paired perfectly with the mushroom risotto. The restaurant garden is great place, the service was top. A place to recommend!
Lovely spot on the hills of Vico Morcote in Ticino, with eclectic italian dishes. Friendly and efficient service, despite that the restaurant was full. Fresh evening atmosphere after a hot summer day.
