"We dined at Badalucci our second night in Lugano, and were incredibly impressed by the personable friendly service, outstanding food, and tranquil atmosphere. The amuse bouche trio to start was fabulous there was a multitude of flavors packed into a each tiny bite! The standout had to be the small tomato sphere which was covered in a crystallized sugar. The bread service was delicious and had something for everyone, whether it was a classic crusty baguette or a blackened brioche roll. My langoustine appetizer was light, fresh, and flavorful. No complaints! Myself and my parents all opted for the special of the night for our main, which was blue lobster from the Mediterranean sea accompanied with homemade pasta in a word, phenomenal. The lobster was perfectly sweet, the pasta was cooked to perfection (al denté and the flavor from the sauce was spectacular. Accompanied with the delicious food was the incredibly kind service! The staff emulated the perfect balance between checking in and giving us space, and were overall lovely. Another highlight was the jugs that the restaurant used for water, they were truly pieces of art! If you decide to go to only one fine dining/ Michelin restaurant in Lugano, I would recommend Badalucci above all others!"

"Der Mann und ich gingen heute zum Mittagessen hierher. Den ganzen Weg hinauf, was gut ist, weil wir die Kalorien verbrannt haben, die wir aus dem Cheeseburger und den Pommes, die wir uns beide gegessen haben, verbrannt haben. Sie hatten auch schicke Burger. Die Pommes waren lecker und kommen mit dem Burger. Unsere Zeitung schien kein Englisch zu sprechen, und wir sprechen kein Italienisch. Daher gab es ein paar Missverständnisse, zum Beispiel als ich fragte, ob Pommes mit dem Preis des Burgers einhergingen. Sie meinte, ich wollte zusätzliche Pommes bekam eine riesige Schüssel, während mein Mann die moderate Menge bekam. Ich habe das Brötchen auf meinem Burger übersprungen, um die Pommes zu genießen. Dieses Restaurant befindet sich im Universitätsbereich und ist wahrscheinlich voll mit College-Kindern, aber als wir es besuchten, war es kurz nachmittags Schließungszeit, also keine Kreuze, nur ein paar andere Tische waren belegt. Es lohnt sich, den Berg hinaufzugehen, um dorthin zu gelangen!"

"Some really cool vegan options (also vegetarian ones) : Fajitas, Burger, Sushis, Indian curry, starters like Guacamole, Hummus, Edamame, Miso soup etc. Food was beautifully presented in the plates, and was super yummy. Service was very friendly, in a great mood, and made an effort to speak our language as we weren’t speaking Italian. Thank you Sophie. Atmosphere super cozy. Good prices. Would definitely go again."

"The Tartare Burger by La Fermata is the best burger in the world and of all time. Point. If you are pregnant and need to avoid raw meat, Smash is excellent. A hair below, but still excellent, the household hamburger. Cisunami is a senseless exaggeration to be ordered only for fun purposes. It's possible that the rest of the menu is valid, but every time I go in, I have a moral obligation to order the Tartare Burger. The chips should be taken normal (without grain and without splashes of truffle oil). Coleslaw only if you have strange feelings of guilt about fried foods. The service is ok. Some waiters are friendlier than others, but who cares because only the Tartare Burger matters."
