Love this restaurant....👏
We dined here recently once again, and we had an all around; great visit, with great service. We enjoyed a great wine choice, the Eggplant Rollatini, Lamb Chops, Oriechette Pasta with Broccoli Rabe, and Sausage; followed by a delicious carrot cake...😋

Absolutely loved our experience at Lugano! We stopped in for Monday happy hour and were treated like absolute queens from start to finish. Said, the bartender, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu. Every recommendation he made was spot on. Geo was also wonderful — present, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making sure guests had a great experience. The hospitality here is next level, and the entire atmosphere made us feel...

Came for Mother’s Day Brunch. We were seated and when we asked for the Mother’s Day Brunch menu were told they weren’t serving brunch, some equipment problems. This should have been communicated when we arrived for our reservation; the chef should have been able to put something special on the menu, a quiche, why no waffle? Totally disappointed. I vowed never to return.
