L’Antica Osteria del Porto

Excellent homemade pasta and desserts! We found this restaurant by chance and we are happy we did! The food was delicious and the atmosphere very relaxed.

here with family and friends. the prices were good. the food was excellent. we had great service even a bigger group. I recommend this to everyone in lugano. excellent!

beautiful location, near the water and harbour. small menu, but very good quality. the tagliata is excellent. creative presentation. very nice and friendly staff. wein selection is somewhat limited. good value for money.

Had a great time here amazing food, location, and vibe. Marco served us and understood our order so well and made me a fresh arabbiatta (which is probably one of the best I’ve had . Super garlicky, fresh, and perfectly al dente. Really good veggie...options as well, and helped by the fact that the chefs are happy to tweak things around a bit. Highly recommend :

The location is beautiful and the food was okay ,but the service was mediocre bread in a brown paper bag was carelessly placed on our table its was awkward we did not know what to do it, and was not appetizing at all. Our waiter...did not bother to check on us after the food was served ,water or drinks were never refilled. We were charged for wine that was ordered but never received The place is in a beautiful setting ,unfortunately the service and miserable atmosphere lets it down

It was Holly Friday after the lunch peak time, sunny but windy and too chilly to be outside with our 4-month old baby son who needed to be his food. We went inside therefore and asked for a table. Once we sit down and wanted...to order a dessert, the waiter told us, we can only sit here if we order lunch not just dessert. After a discussion he let us stay but he said „this is not correct.“ We appreciated that he allowed to stay but still found it unfriendly. Also, the restaurant was not full at all and emptied more and more after a while. The dessert was good, that wins the second star, or else it would be one star, as we think being friendly is a must.

The location is beautiful close to the water, lit by festoon lights but the service left a lot to be desired. My 'special request ' for 'our drink ' to be served on our arrival was overlooked, which kind of ruined the surprise asking for...it, in front of my husband! My pasta was cold second attempt was better, tasty and plentiful. My husband ordered a side of potatoes, but was not advised that his meal came with potatoes! We had to ask for a wine list which arrived, but our order was never taken. We skipped dessert, feeling that we didn 't want to spend any more time or money in the unwelcoming environment! Admittedly, we weren 't charged for the drink, but came away feeling underwhelmed.

We booked our table in advance to make sure that there won 't be any issue. When we arrived, the waiter could not find our name on the list and only after checking it 3 times he managed to find it. Not a great start....We then ordered our food, but the waiter did not actually register it on his device so after roughly 10 minutes he actually came back and usked us again because he forgot about it. Again, not collecting points here. When ordering the wine my s.o. was just given 3 options by the waiter, not even showing her the wine menu. Similar with my beer, I could choose if I wanted to have a lager or something else, and I had a choice between two sizes. Amazeballs. I had no idea what beer...

we came to this place for their bareness outside. because of the rain that has already ended, he has not worked anymore. we had to get into the facility. we weren't asked if we came to eat or drink. we came deliberately. for a drink, we ordered cocktails and talked. the waiters came to us several times and asked if we wanted to order. we answered politely that we would only drink. after that, an older waiter approached us, who forced us to order food. he began to be rude and said that it is a restaurant and we should eat here. we said we had no hunger and went into the bar, but unfortunately it was closed. to whom he replied that he was not interested in it and “It is not my problem”. I said...
