If you want to save on restaurant costs in Lugano this is the right place. We went for 2 consecutive evenings and were never disappointed. The first evening we chose pizza. All at 10chf which for Lugano is unlikely when the average in other places is at least 15chf for a Margherita. Reasonable prices also for beers and desserts. We spent 93chf for 4 with 4 squares, 3 beers, 1 coke and 4 desserts. Not only the price but also the quality of the pizza is excellent despite being in Switzerland. We return the next evening and have 1 mixed grill with side dish, 1 pasta with meat sauce and 1 carbonara, same drink and same desserts and we spent 130chf. Very good! Fabulous grilled meat cooked just right, even the carbonara, despite being with bacon and not bacon, was very good in taste. We're a bit disappointed because the place is a bit isolated and seems little frequented, but we always found the place very full. The waitresses recognized us immediately, always with a smile and never rude, like the owners always checking that everything is in order. A point of reference for good food, excellent value for money.

Very good pizza and not too expensive nice location and good service clean bathrooms and everything is well looked after all excellent I recommend it especially for the pizza the rest is good but it's not the house specialty while the pizza very good

Good food for very reasonable prices, and the food was served quickly. Staff did not speak a lot of English but were hospitable.
