"1,000% recommend!! I visited this charming, wonderful grotto with my family back in August, and it was one of the best restaurant experiences of our lives! The setting is just perfect warm and storybooklike. From the moment we arrived, Roberto was so welcoming. It was great talking with him! His wife Christina's food is absolutely divine. Every dish wowed us! I especially loved the apple gorgonzola risotto and the cheesecake. At the end of the meal, Roberto gave us samples of their limoncello which was such a fun conclusion to our amazing night. I highly reccomend Grotto Castagneto to anyone in the Lugano area!"

"This was my first fine dining experience ever. It's never really seemed worth it for me to go to fancy places with tasting menus because of my gluten-sensitive and vegetarian diet. We had picked the place because of the amazing view. Before heading to the restaurant, my partner and I had already found a back-up dinner place in case there wasn't an option for me. To say we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement! This restaurant went out of their way and off menu for me to have a delicious meal for dinner. They made a simple, yet so flavorful burrata and basil risotto. My partner had tagliatelle with amberjack. They even had a really nice gluten free bread for me! We had a view of the lakefront during sunset and the service and the ambience in the room was incredible. This experience was just to die for, it might actually be the best dinner I have ever had. Though we didn't do the tasting menu, with all the little snacks in between our selected courses, and the (free! dessert, we were so stuffed at the end!!"

"Siamo andati inizialmente al locale per prendere una pizza da asporto, ma alla fine siamo rimasti lì per tutta la serata. Abbiamo mangiato 3 pizze e tutto era incredibile, uno dei nostri ragazzi ha detto che era la miglior pizza che avesse mai assaggiato (Buffalo). Torneremo sicuramente e consiglieremo questo posto a tutti. È accogliente, adatto alle famiglie, rilassante e esattamente quello che ti aspetteresti da un ristorante italiano (pizzeria)."

"We only stayed one night but were impressed. The view is really beautiful at a more than fair price (100 chf for a double in June), some comforts are missing, such as the bathroom in the room (shared bathroom for 7 rooms), but at least for the blue room there was a sink and a private shower. There is a common room with fridge and coffee machine, breakfast is a basket with a large quantity of packaged snacks. Checkout is late, even until 11, so if you like to sleep late it's perfect. However, be careful about the transport to Lugano, unfortunately it runs too rarely. (even 2h) All the rooms have a lake view (I think they all also have a splendid small balcony). Inspired by the view and the particular menu (I underline particular) we decided to have lunch here, sharing a tasting menu (65 chf) and also trying the extra dishes (10 chf each). The food was truly delicious, with some risky but definitely interesting combinations. Obviously personal taste regarding the individual ingredients also plays its part. We were very sorry to see that two other customers did not want to try to appreciate the dishes, probably because they were expecting something more classic. Therefore, as the owners have already reiterated, take a look at the tasting menu to get an idea of what awaits you, it might simply not be for you. We were willing to try it, even if we weren't used to it, and we were very, very satisfied."

"Wir waren als Familie dort und haben sehr gut gegessen. Leider war die Location zu dieser Jahreszeit etwas zu kühl. Wir sassen am Anfang mit Jacken am Tisch. Der grosse Kamin wurde angefeuert und im Laufe des Abends war es dann ok, jedoch nie so warm, dass man hätte sagen können „gemütlich“ .... schade. Die Bedingung war sehr nett, servierte jedoch auch in Jacke. Ich würde im Sommer sicher noch einmal wieder kommen. Der Blick von der Weinreben bedeckten Terrasse, über den See nach Lugano, ist wunderschön."
