A charming place where the Cassarate River meets Lake Lugano, creating a romantic setting under the shade of three majestic centuries-old plane trees.Here, history merges with the life of the people of Lugano, offering a new culinary interpretation that celebrates the past with a fresh and contemporary vision, using high-quality ingredients preferably sourced from local suppliers.On the banks of the Cassarate River stood the Osteria del Porto, which over the years has earned the title of "Antica" (Ancient). Its centuries-old history dates back to the nineteenth century when it was a landing point for goods from barges.An Osteria, yes, but different: in tones, colors, and signs. A menu proposal between innovation and tradition, with the lake and mountains blending and meeting in the menus of Chef Domenico Rezza.We accompany the dishes with a selection of local and Italian wines, served with care by our dining staff. And then the special occasions, the happy hours, the exclusive terrace for private events. A venue constantly on the move, searching for new proposals, accompanied by smiles and authentic hospitality.

Il ravioli: La pasta troppo bianca per essere una pasta all'uovo come converrebbe per i ravioli. Troppo liscia e insapore. Il ripieno che doveva essere ai funghi porcini, non ne aveva né il sapore né il profumo. Molto deludenti. Migliori le orecchiette alle cime di rapa, che hanno fatto alzare il mio giudizio a sufficiente.

Locanda del Boschetto since 1993 Restaurant in Lugano with excellent fish cuisine and more... The reference point for good taste at the table. An evening of excellent seafood in a warm atmosphere. Not only fish but also meat to enjoy excellent dishes cooked with great passion. What they say about us... My favourite fish restaurant here in lugano. The fish is always fresh and is cooked mostly on the grill. It is always very busy and this guarantees a constant supply of fish. The staff is very friendly and professional. The prices are within the Swiss average.

Il locale è nuovo, ci sono stato settimana scorsa a pranzo, incredibile!!! La carbonara migliore che abbia mai mangiato :) Staff gentile e accogliente, mi hanno fatto sentire come a casa.

Accogliente, ottima cucina con cuoco e pizzaioli italiani, grande cortesia e simpatia, prezzi competitivi per la buona qualità dell’offerta.Un fatto nuovo nel panorama Luganese con divertenti e intriganti feste e eventi , organizzati settimanalmente. Un vero meeting-point , Treft-Punkt e Agorà dove incontrarsi e socializzare. Con un unico ed eccezionale angolo per i bambini per il quale mamme e papa’ possono sentirsi liberi , accontentando entrambe le parti.

Competenza Ottima Professionale Gentilezza Squisita
