Grotto Pierino - Menu

A grotto in Lugano. Better, the grotto in Lugano. Grotto menu, as we should expect, but can no longer be found.

Typical Ticino loved by the elderly. Very pleasant outdoor tables in summer for a break. Polenta specialty along the way and local products

Extraordinary grotto in a wonderful place. Excellent polenta-based dishes. And the rabbit is a spectacle. The cured meats, bread cake and lard are also delicious.

magnificent typical Ticino restaurant, the food is excellent, wonderful. The service is top notch and the digestive with coffee is to die for. Go there, it's worth the detour.

From the selection of cured meats, to cheeses and polenta with what you like most, service, friendliness and honest prices. I don't know if it's the last grotto in Ticino, but certainly in Lugano.

Wunderschönes, typisches Tessiner Grotto mit einer grossen Pergola und super Aussicht. Sehr gute, typische Tessiner Gerichte. Grosse Portionen zu absolut fairen Preisen, wirklich empfehlenswert. Wir werden sicher wieder hingehen.

Es gibt nicht viele Speisen aber was es gibt ist lecker. Die kalte Vorspeise, mit feinem Brot, das Ossobuco mit Polenta war vorzüglich. Das es nach dem Kaffee noch einen Limoncello gab, hat den Wirt noch symptischer gemacht. Nur schade das das offene Feuer im Ofen nicht gebrannt hat. Immer mal wieder.

The owner is there since years and knows a lot about the collection of pans (in the '800s lot of people of nearby Val Colla emigrated in US, Italy... to repair copper pans) or about the choice of polenta (the main dish of Grotto Pierino).

As a family we were travelling to Italy and stopped in Lugano on the way for a few nights. We wanted to eat in a Grotto to get a local flavour of the area and went here after looking at TA. We, sorry I went unprepared without a phrase book (Italian) and struggled with the menu but the people here were really helpful and eased us to a selection cobbling together our limited Italian and their English. We had a fantastic meal the local Merlot was lovely and the kids liked it, job done. We were shown around the place by this proud old fella who is pictured and he sent us on our way with a couple of local drinking cups gratis. Could not fault these people, the food was great and they were as hosp...
